After the 2 sides finally settle, I hope the fans pull their own lock out and boycott the games. Let them play in empty stadiums. Then maybe the 2 sides will figure out who is more important.

Amen brotha Amen…at some point we the fans have to show we are a factor in the billion dollar industry and can’t just be ignored…I have not and will not buy any NFL/Team product as long as this goes on and then sometime after it’s over…

——————————————————–

Keep dreamin’, boys. The NFL knows that as soon as they put the next game on tv, we’re on the edge of our seats, waiting to watch. The fans don’t factor into this at all, from their perspective.

This is a bunch of grown adults who can’t agree how to split up over $9B annually. And watching it get to the point it currently is shows that there is HUMONGOUS GREED on both sides. The funniest part is the UNION is to blame for all of this for suckering the players with the Kool Aid. This is Scott Boras telling Johnny Damon how much he’s worth to the Yankees all over again. How did that turn out for Johnny?

Andy Reid is a “company guy”, who much to the consternation of the Philly media and talk radio likes to keep things close to vest, and isn’t really known to pop off. It’s pretty out of character for him to be this direct, so I think there’s some real concern here.

“The longer the lockout, the worse Andy Reid’s ability to manage a game gets.”

—————————————————-

And this from a Cowboys’ fan who, with the exception of Parcels, has watched a string of the most God awful head coaches in memory since Jerrah canned Jimmy!

You do know Chappedlips, that you’re under no obligation to make a snide post or three in every single thread. Is there any chance you have an existence beyond PFT.

That will even add to the inferior product on the field.

You’re bringing in guys who are working hard in the offseason on their own, but that’s not like working hard in training camp.”’

Well, I’m glad someone outside of the sports media have some common sense cause I posted a similiar concern yesterday.

But we all know that in the land of make believe called the sports media, these spoilt writers, journalists, and analysts, would expect 100% quality work of work from the athletes on the field even if the lock-out ended two weeks before the start of the pre-season. And they would brainwash their sheeplings fans into believing that their fantasy should be reality.

And as usual, everything always seems to come back to money and these athletes. Amazing how not one of these folks in the sports media are to bent out of shape over how much the owners are making. I guess cause they feel that by defending the owners some of that wealth can trickle down on them.

….says the guy who named himself “turdsandwich” way to separate yourself from the 99%. as far as what esg6string said.. it’s not profound either… its common sense that no practice will effect the quality of play.

They’ll have to wheel him back and forth on the sidelines in one of those mobile stretchers they carry injured players off in soon. The players don’t douse Reid in Gatorade after wins because really- who would want to see that wet?

Think the owners will give ticket holders price breaks on tickets? Can I have a lower bill from DirecTV for the season pass? Of course not.

Many fans seem to overlook that the players are not on strike – they are locked out in an effort to force them to accept a CBA settlement on the owners terms instead of a negotiated settlement. All these pro-owner shills also overlook the fact that the premise for any CBA is a long term agreement without an opt-out clause. That means that no short-term bandaide can be proposed. It has to be a long term agreement that lasts for at least 8 years ( what I have heard proposed). If the owners’ strategy for the past two years had not been a forced lockout, the players union would not have decertified. Had the owners promised not to lockout while negotiating a new CBA – and continued to operate under the 2010 rules – the union would have had no motivation to decerify. Decertification was a legal strategy to defend against a lockout, right? As a result of the lockout, the quality of play in 2011 – if there is a season – will suffer. There might also be a significant increase in injuries. This will all impact the players directly, not the owners.

It’s not as if Andy Reid told the world he’d be speaking at 1 pm on live television, came out and announced, “LESS TIME TO PLAY MEANS A WORSE PRODUCT!” and walked off stage. these guys at PFT just took a sentence or two from a whole interview and made a “story” out of it

Nice job buying into a boring offseason. FAIL
