Who cares. It’s just a sport. If football doesn’t return this fall, I’ll be learning computer programming, what will you be doing?

================================

So, you can’t learn computer programming if there’s a football season? That just goes to show how lazy some people are.

I’ll be (hopefully) opening a new small business this year. It’s alot of work, but it’ll happen whether there’s a season or not. And guess what… I’ll still watch football every Sunday.

semperfido (The cameraman in his squad…every squad has one) is right….GB winning or not, many players are cheating to high heaven…..Olympic drug testing needs to be done this year!

Told ya.
But only about 12 times now.

“Optimism surrounding the talks” was vague and written by amateurs.

Nothing will get settled until people start losing money. Period. Mid Sept, at the earliest.

Sorry.

I love the tidbit the other day about “we’re 85% of the way there”. Yes, that would be the 85% that says games will be played on Sundays, players are allowed to wear shoulder pads, and it’s still 6 points for a TD.

If those greedy SOBs can’t figure out how to split that pot I’m through with them.

With the players becoming so big and so fast, the “game” has become less a sport than a big gladiator match, with the team with the fewest injuries winning. If I wanted that there’s ice hockey.

Even though I hate this article like the rest of you, I thought I’d give my two cents and say, “semperfido, you moron, what season did you watch last year?” The Packers won the whole damn thing w/ 15 players on IR…

I believe him. The owners used the not so secret meetings as a way to heal their public image even though they hadn’t changed and are still offering pretty much the same deal.

Hmmm for the first time ever I find myself agreeing with someone named “alberthaynesworth” thus proving the lockout makes strange bedfellows.

Hint: if you are on here complaining about how you ain’t gonna watch the NFL and you don’t care (or its cousin in opposites “I could care less”), why post here at all? The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. Second hint: YOU DO CARE. To all the peeps being so dramatic, you remind me of Steve Martin’s rant in “The Jerk”. I DON’T NEED YOU…I JUST NEED…this lamp…oh yeah and this toy…” etc.

It seems these a-holes spend more time “leaking not so secret information” than they do negotiating. Get it done already!!!

One missed regular season game and I’m out. I’ll not support this sport if they can have such blatant disrespect for the fans who make it run.

I’ve never watched a baseball game since they ruined it back in the past and I’ve been just fine.

Unbelievable that these guys can’t figure this out.

Wah! There is a lockout! I dont get to hear about free agency! Wah! I don’t get to read ota reports!

Seriously this whole lockout has really brought out the true colors of some of you fans. They havent missed anything of great importance. All you whiny babies need to get a life. Losers.

How does that explain the Packers winning this last season with all of their injuries?

Little bit of intrigue in my book.
Pure speculation, but Smith strikes me as a man who wants to make a mark. From the derby on his head in our day and age, to the constant instigating he did with his words early on in the process, this guy better be watched.

I would not be surprised if this new tactic of friendliness in the eyes of the media with Roger Goodell, and the 180 degree turn from instigator to image of hope is all about the snake hypnotizing its prey.

Mark my words. De Maurice looks at Upshaw every day.

And I do not believe he at all wants to be known as the man who got stepped on by the owners.

As his toughguy tactics began to turn public image against the players, this new strategy of being nice……killing time……is merely a ploy to be able to say later, “in the end, the owners were too greedy. We tried our best. What has happened, has happened because of the owners.”

Smith doesnt care about football. Smith cares about himself.

I hope Im wrong…………

Yeah, Glazer also said that there wasn’t a chance that Shawn Merriman would EVER resign with the Bills.

Tip for Freeman: don’t make yourself look unlikeable because reliable sources only come to you when you are.

Jay might be weird or not palatable for some people, but at least he makes himself “franchise friendly”!!!

The hook coming out from exit stage left, but Mo dodges and darts to prolong his 15 minutes. Like an insect with night falling all around it.
