“The Green Bay Packers: Super Bowl 45 and perpetual Champions.”

Does this mean we can expect a “guarantee” of a repeat at the start of the next season?
I for one, hope so.

Just like in divorces when both sides are acting like children, a grown-up needs to step in and decide what’s fair and just for both sides.

If you are a Packer fan you have to be loving this.

The Green Bay Packers: Super Bowl 45 and perpetual Champions.

Then after 31 years of watching football, I’m offically through with the NFL. I hope enough people boycott this league when it eventually returns, but unfortunately people don’t have that kind of self-control anymore.

—————————————————-

I agree with you 100%. I have already begun boycotting the NFL. I refused to watch the Superbowl, and I will no longer watch any game. With all the stupid rule changes, and now this it’s not even a game anymore. I think there are plenty of people out there that feel the same way. The whole league has turned into a complete joke.

Just cant’ justify both Sat and Sun. Thank you for helping me with this conversion. Owners and players = MORON$

Anyone think that maybe they had productive talks and perhaps both sides are getting ready for a labor deal finalization?

Yeah, we all saw how well the owners and the NFL took care of every little problem that popped up at the Super Bowl. The customer, as always, came first. Money be damned, it’s their love for the common man and their desire to make sure we always get our money’s worth that truly touches me the most.

However, they were offering free drink coupons and extra towels to the owners who would have to stand. Could have been a verrrry embarassing situation.

Crisis averted!

Greed will kill this sport.

If you’ve been watching the NFL for 31 years you’ve been through 2 work stoppages (one of which involved scabs playing games) and that hasn’t stopped you yet. What makes this (potential) one so special?

I lost interest in baseball when salaries became obscene and attendance became limited to the “upscale” and kids no longer filled the bleachers. I am losing interest in football for the same reasons. Football is becoming a game owned by billionaires, played by millionaires, and afforded by an “upscale” and “affluent” society finding protection from each other by a legion of lawyers who revel in screwing all concerned.

It will either get done at the last minute or after there’s been a player lockout for a while…

Who cares if they have labor issues? How does it really effect any of us?
I am at a lost to understand why any individual is upset that they are having tough negotiations. So what?
This is really pretty common throughout the country and if you are mad at anyone it should be ridiculousness that we still allow unions in this country.

Two meetings in a week should be enough for now.

It’s hard to believe that either side actually wants a deal.

Follow the actions and not the words. If they knew the fans weren’t coming back after the lockout then they wouldn’t even touch the subject. But they know you are. It’s like a stupid Greek tragedy
