Money grubbin bitches. All of them.

 

[mudloggerone]

yep

 

[Cerberus]

Not sounding good.Hoping there just trying to set up some drama befre the 12th hour. Sad to say but in the far far distance you can hear the fat lady warming up.

 

[mudloggerone]

And she's off tune.

 

[Cerberus]

LOL. Must be Fergie. Damn shes still singing. Doesnt she realize the SB is over?

 

[Sgt John]

Its Christina Aguilera. The lockout will be averted if she correctly sings the national anthem.

I have a better chance of hitting the lottery saturday night. At least i wont have to watch the Jags lose . Thats an upside to all this.

 

[derringer007]

There is no upside to no NFL.

Its not looking good

Not watching your team lose week in and week out is the upside. Just ask the Bengals fans. LOL J/K Miller.

If i have to watch the Raiders lose so be-it, i need my NFL

 

[Cerberus]

Sounds like an old MTV commercial. LOL.

 

[mudloggerone]

I didn't like the turn of events and can find little if anything to make me optimistic at this point.

 

[Sgt John]

Why should we pay MFL for a 2011 season that wont happen?

 

[Cerberus]

If the USFL was still around, i guarantee that they wouldnt be going thru with this. I really enjoyed watching the Jax Bulls here. Odd thing is, they were more exciting to watch than the Jags. Esp when they played the NJ Generals.

I think the owners really underestimated the players and felt like they could make them concede on alot of things for fear of a season being lost. It's like they totally disregarded the fact that the players brought in a tough lawyer to lead their union.

Did these guys really expect players to simply accept the idea of constantly traveling overseas for games, playing extra games, having salaries limited, and in return get almost nothing in return?

 

[mudloggerone]

Ya never know until you try Mike. Now here's to hoping they see the unified front presented by the players and everyone gets their heads out of their asses and get this thing done.

 

[Cerberus]

OR WE CAN JUST SAY SCREW THEM, STRIKE AND WE WILL MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES. Shit sorry about the caps. I'm already looking forward to arena football in just over 3 weeks.
