I can’t believe how out of touch De Smith and the PA are with the fans. THE FANS HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THE PLAYERS!!!

They get paid MILLIONS of dollars to play a game! THEY ARE NOT PARTNERS, THEY ARE EMPLOYEES!!

I never heard one single player past or present express sympathy for fans who got screwed by PSL”s…..

“Holy crap”

Whatever happened to trying to make this site less offensive. That’s like saying “this is turning out to be retarded” “that’s so gay” “Jesus ** Christ”. Using the word “holy” can be offensive to people with a religion as the term “holy” is shared amongst most.

I had avoided creating the free account for months, but reading your bs post drove me to sign up, just so i could respond to this nonsense. get a life. that is as tame as you will find on a public forum, and is not even approaching offensive, in any way.

Yeah, Smith will be unemployed.

Sigh. Just because you are an unemployable loser with no skills who lives in fear of his “boss”…doesn’t mean everyone is like that.

Some people have actual skills and talents.

I’m so sorry you can be replaced by:

1) Mexican immigrant labor
2) Indian or Chinese professionals
3) College kid fresh out of school

Get some skills, you’ll feel better. May I suggest learning Chinese? Oh, but then you’ll miss ‘Idol’, Dr Pepper Big Gulps, and Doritos binging.

“Unions stink. Just ask Wisconsin”

Where 60% of the population want those right restored?

That Wisconsin? Or the one that exists in your own little mind?

OH NO!!!!!!! Whatever are these millionaires going to do now? It’s so sad that now, chad johnson wont be able to afford that gold plated shark tank. Now he’s going to have to cut back and get the silver plated one. What a freakin Travesty!!! Give me an effin break. Seriously, I hope they screw this season up, go ahead, because I for one will not watch a single game of football, or spend any money on these overpriced babies if they so much as miss a single day of training camp.

I’m ready to enjoy all the college games I can. To he’ll with the pros. They owners, league and players should ALL be considered cons instead of pros.

when they have the draft next month is it every man for himself? Maybe the newbies will just work out a deal with whoever they want instead of who drafted them. It’s definitely going to be an interesting time.

For those of you who don’t understand the point in signing a player the caliber Nnamdi Asamwhat (at least I got the first name right) with a lock-out coming. News Flash: the lock-out will eventually end! The gods will open the arenas for football again! And which ever owner signed a player like this with the unknown approaching will look like a genius come opening day. Hope this helps educate you school children.

“They get paid MILLIONS of dollars to play a game! THEY ARE NOT PARTNERS, THEY ARE EMPLOYEES!!!”

1) They are partners, learn about the arrangement that is the NFL

2) They get paid millions because they make their employers millions. You make crap because you produce like crap.

“In a time where almost every American has suffered financially and had to make cutbacks, they are offended that they would be asked to make any concessions during a very difficult time.”

Actually, the reverse happened. The owners wanted MORE of an EXPANDING pie. The owners refused to make concessions.

And, sorry – no one ever said we all need to make the same as you. Because that’s communism.

They have unique skills, you don’t. They’re in demand, you can be easily replaced. They make their team millions, you don’t make your company a whole lot. That’s called capitalism.

Yes- does the franchise tag hold weight? Could you imagine Peyton Manning being a free agent at 12:01?

Actually from reading everything online a majority of people are siding with the players. You’d prefer the billionaire owners to get richer?

Al has spent so much money on horrible decisions he needs to suck it up open up the pocket book and keep that man in silver n black!!! If there’s an ounce of common sense left in that old ass mind of his he’ll keep one of the top 5 cb’s in Oakland!!!!

Nnamdi will either resign with Oakland or sign with the Eagles. He will not leave Oakland to go to a bad team.

Those poor, broke, put upon owners could…as of midnight…

…start fighting with one another to see who can offer the highest, most ridiculous contract offer to washed up TE Jeremy Shockey.

Because they’re broke. Remember?

does anyone know what this means for players who were franchised, does the franchise still hold weight?

By: bmuhler

bmuhler — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 23:54:00 +0000

Yes and after litigation all the extra money given to the players will go to Payton Manning, Namndi Asamough, Michael Vick etc. while the other 48 players on the roster gain nothing but a big medical bill.
