Salary caps do not create competitive balance, revenue sharing does. Salary caps do one thing and one thing only: hold down salaries.
The NFL actually has pretty poor competitive balance as it is the league most susceptible aside from the NBA to dynasties over the past 30 years. And the NFL union is downright powerless. You can't blame them for anything as they are barely relevent. this is a battle between the owners.

b man
if the owners are fighting amongst themselves, doesn't that eliminate any anti-trust argument?
it seems like this would show they are not a single entity

Baloo,
I have stated many times that Gene Upshaw was a puppet and the NFLPA has been decertified, which in someway, (IMO) makes the CBA null. But the owners are the sole cause of the lockout, the players are dealing good faith as they agreed to the CBA and have at all times agreed to honor it, it is the owners that are violating it, specifically Article IV Section 1.
ETA:
I am not a brilliant legal scholar, just going off what I learned in Grad School and my few legal classes during my Master's degree.

the last 9 years, 9 different NFC teams have been in the Super Bowl.
You always base this off teams that win the title, which I think you have to know is a pretty bad way to measure it. More different teams have won the WS from 80-09, i counted it out 1 time from 95 (which is around when the current economic situations in both sports took effect) and more NFL teams (counting only the top 4 seeds in each conference since only 4 teams from each league make the MLB playoffs) made the playoffs. Since 95 the Yankees have won 5 WS, the most SB won by 1 team is 3 by NE.
BTW: In the last 90 years, 1 team has won 27 or 30% of the World Series, but yeah football is more prone to dynasties.

Salary caps creat balance because the wealthiest teams can't buy up all of the talent. Revenue sharing is good for the league only when they are sharing the national contracts - such as NFL television money or National Sponsors. Some owners are pissed that 1. Players want part of their local money - such as ticket sales and concession money - when players were only getting a percentage of national revenues and 2. Wealthier ownes don't want to share the local revenue that their teams earn with teams that aren't as wealthy and they are rightfully pissed about both cases.
