Think about the die hard Jets and Giants fans that lost their lives in those towers. Some of their loved ones might gather together every Sunday and what the games to reminisce on the times that cheered and booed. The whole thing boils down to greed both sides point blank!]]></description>

No, I wouldn&#039;t. If I did, I would donate it. I know what it&#039;s like to have NOTHING to your name. Some people don&#039;t even have 10 dollars, let alone 10 million.

The official word is &quot;charity,&quot; but I prefer &quot;being a decent stand-up human being, and not a piece of sh*t.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cue the whiny fans blaming the players (and now wrapping themselves in the flag to do it).  

If fans truly espoused American values, then they would be fully on the players&#039; side, who are free to demand their market value.  Fans actually like taking the owners&#039; side, a bunch of crusty old dudes who are just trying to die with more money in their bank accounts?  How does this make sense?

&quot;If I had $50 million I wouldn&#039;t argue over $10 million more...&quot;

Yeah, you would.  And if you wouldn&#039;t, you&#039;re stupid.  In America, you take all that you can get.  And NFL football players can get a lot.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

Recruited by Lawrence Eagleburger as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Management, Pieczenik went on to develop, “the basic tenets for psychological warfare, counter terrorism, strategy and tactics for transcultural negotiations for the US State Department, military and intelligence communities and other agencies of the US Government,” while also developing foundational strategies for hostage rescue that were later employed around the world.

Pieczenik also served as a senior policy planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker and worked on George W. Bush’s election campaign against Al Gore. His record underscores the fact that he is one of the most deeply connected men in intelligence circles over the past three decades plus.]]></description>

Great comment, I agree with it (that is what the NFL will use it for), but it is also important for our country to fill up 14 stadiums (or whatever it is) with 60,000+ people and show the terrorists that they haven&#039;t slowed us down one bit. 

Plus, the flyovers will be awesome! We know that the NFL is all about their $$$$$, but I can&#039;t think of a better way to flip the bird to the terrorists on 9/11.]]></description>
