Borges is just the absolute rottenest……

PF Talk is in the tank for the players also.

******************

You remind me of critics of the local newspaper. Their editor publishes letters from both sides of an issue and the number of letters that he gets from any one side could be split right down the middle but one side or the other accuses him of bias for the other side simply because he publishes ANY letter from the “fringe” of the side.

The players lawyers must be afraid the players will say they had a good deal and are now wishing they had settled.

He just wants to publicity, he hasn’t been in the news for a while

The next good piece this guy writes will be his FIRST, and I would take this report – useless as it is – with a bucket full of salt.

Seriously, who would ever admit to overhearing this conversation while on the john?

Good quote, theandy59. Wonder if Borges would like a “do-over” on those two?

“On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson or the second-best tackle in the draft in Kenyatta Walker, they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sack last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

‘Nuff said?

I wonder how many times he tapped his toes whilst in the can.

Gross.

Obviously, Batterman was referencing his impeding “battle” with the porcelain throne and his poorly thought out “all steak” diet from the previous few weeks.

So? The statement is just the obvious truth. The NFL has to settle for the long battle because the players only want upside gains, are not willing to risk downside losses, and don’t care if they turn professional football into the same contracting sports league as the players did for MLB and the NBA.

And something I think players don’t quite ‘get’ in their strike is that they are replaceable and most fans are TEAM FANS, NOT PLAYER FANS, in their long-term appreciation. Something that is illustrated, year-after-year, decade-after-decade, as the old gridiron heroes fade and the new ones come about.

Let’s face it, Bart Starr plays golf somewhere. Roger Staubach retired from a real-estate empire. Joe Montana raises horses and has a winery. Troy Aikman is a commentator on TV. Kurt Warner just retied after an arguably HOF career.

All these people have left and the NFL has continued on….

Meanwhile Peyton Manning is 35 and appears to be descending. Aaron Rodgers is 27 and ascending. In five years Manning will be retired and Rodgers will (probably) be at his peak. In the mean-time, there’ll be some other hot QB making waves and moving to the top, maybe Sam Bradford. While another even younger QB not even in the NFL right now, maybe Oliver Luck, is showing great promise.

And all this will happen with an expanding revenue pool, greater salaries and benefits and ever increasing profitability, health and interest. Unless the players destroy it because they’re too greedy for themselves and forget that there are those that will follow them and what makes the game work compettive balance that gives the fans reason to be interested.

Unlike baseball and basketball where a few rich teams consistently dominate. Like the Yankees that have been in the playoffs 16 of the last 17 seasons because Steinbrenner can buy a competitive roster each year.

Yeah we won’t hold our breath for you to do the same.

The website that’s in the tank for the owners bashes a guy who’s in the tank for the players

He’s in the “tank” for the players.

Thats ok. The owners have Peter King to balance him out…..

Batterman may well have said what he was quoted to say, but if Borges is the person quoting him, the the over/under moves quickly to 3/99.

But hey, it’s early in the day, and you gotta post something. No harm done, except that putting Borges’ name in any post cheapens the value.
