Their disappointed – HA! Now do they split the $9 billion amongst the. 32 teams and don’t have to share any with the players? I’m sure their disappointed.

Lunarpie and crabcakes are right…

We… as fans… should do everything we can to boycott the NFL. Don’t buy anything with an NFL logo… don’t buy enhanced TV packages… if you go to the games buy as little as possible at the stadiums… don’t attend functions involving NFL players… don’t pay for autographs…

… etc etc etc…

Just cut back as much as you can. You don’t have to be perfect. Buy less… give them less money… it’s all they care about.

Nobody wants to hear either sides case anymore!

WE JUST WANT FOOTBALL!

If we have no football come Fall11, the fans should group together and force them both to lower income expectatons when we boycott the NFL as a whole.

There is strength in numbers football fans!

I agree. I have been telling everyone I know, do not watch NFL channel, do not surf NFL.com and do not buy NFL products. If everyone did, they would have to listen! WE MAKE THE NFL! I am personally boycotting all of it.

I take Tisch and Mara at their words. These are not owners of the Mike Brown ilk that have no interest in putting a top quality product on the field for the fans. The Giants aren’t taking advantage of their fans, the way some other owners are. If Tisch and Mara state they have an interest or obligation in ensuring the fans are happy, I believe that obligation goes beyond the mere interest in separating fans from their cash and their word is based on over 60 years 0f delivering on that word. (ok, with exception of about 16 years of darkness in the 70′s and 80′s) Take your negative tone and apply it some other more deserving owners. You’re just pissed you have nothing better to write about.

Anyone want to bet these fan loving owners will raise ticket prices once a new CBA is approved?

scudbot, if this were true, the owners from the “megamarkets” like NY, Philly, Chicago, new England and Dallas would be on the side of the NFLPA, but they’re clearly not.

both sides have acquitted themselves rather poorly in this whole mess, but the players showed just how truly focused on “winning” this they really are. At least the owners actions suggest that they understand the negotiating process.

Yeah, we as Giant fans are disappointed that you were so greedy as to replace a perfectly fine stadium, with one of the best sightlines in the NFL and replaced it with an ugly 1.6 Billion dollar stadium that every critic panned, whose sightlines are worse than the other stadium. All so you can MAKE MONEY. Yeah, we as fans certainly trust you Mr. Mara.

Well, we now know who are the prime distributors of Crapola for the New York area. Silly me, I thought it was the Mets.

It’s too bad that it seems like it was the players, not the owners, wanted to send this thing to the courtrooms. Then maybe that would give your point of the owners failing to get anything done some validity. Lets not forget De Smith was and is a trial laywer, and his most comfortable realm is where this is now heading.

The only way you can tell the owners are lying is if their lips are moving.

Yes, yes union awesome, owners bad. We’ve got your schtick. Except this just makes it more obvious. I mean its not like the Mara’s haven’t owned the Giants since 1925. Yeah its just purely business to them after 86 years. Has nothing to do with the sport at all.

You wrote “because if the players’ approach succeeds the lockout will be thwarted and the players will have more leverage when talks resume.” The players are after an MLB type system. If that’s what they get it’ll help fans of teams in megamarkets but Green Bay and Pittsburgh fans will be looking at their teams chasing tailpipe forever.

How wonderful to know we will be treated in the upcoming months to this type of insightful rhetoric from both the owners and the NFLPA.

how is that lockout insurance kicking in for you?
good thing the owners (maggots) had that in place, for leverage!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s this feeling coming over me? Oh yeah, it’s the urge(sorta like having to piss) to tell the owners, the players, and their families(which I’m also sure that this whole thing is just about making sure they are taken care of) to F*** OFF!
Hello MLB it’s been a while.
