Practice what you preach.

Shefter says they are close to a deal.
Some guy who says he works at Fox who lives in the alley behind my house says that they are going to vote Sunday at 2:34 pm.
Finally I feel good for the first time, the guy that sleeps by my trash can never gets it wrong.

So tomorrow at about 2:35 I think I’ll be taking that man some champagne.

You actually believe this is going to be wrapped up Tuesday or Wednesday? The players don’t want to work for a living (training camp) and it is becomming more evident.

Prediction what we will hear Monday and Tuesday:

-Players want first born child of every owner.
-Players want a personal visit from lady ga ga.

My point: Let them go on strike or whatever they want to call it, owners lock them out. Bring on replacement players!!! I am sure the talent pool is good enough right now and in two or three years even better. Either sign the deal or go work for a living loosers. Replacement players: please start getting ready, play your heart out, and see if you can keep from being as greedy as this last bunch of loosers.

Kolb is a Cardinal. Again, 100%. The guy should be fired if he’s wrong or lying. 100%.

Ryan Williams and a conditional 3 (likely a 2) for Kevin Kolb.

It’s so obvious what’s going on here. 14 padded practices, in 17 weeks. 5 consecutive days off after a bye week. The next domino will be missed preseason games. And the after the Superbowl the league will announce a shortened preseason and an 18 game regular season. You guys (the press) are such tools.

Part od the problem is this site continues to post positive articles then turn right around and posts negative ones. You are playing both sides so you can be “right” no matter what happens.
PFT bears some responsibilty for the false optimism.
I will stay turned for the negative article that is soon to come.

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

They’re not doing that so they can be right or wrong. They are reporting every update they hear to keep their readers updated, regardless of whether it’s positive or negative.

I personally couldn’t care less which site is “right” about the lockout, and I feel confident most people feel the same way. PFT realizes this.

New coach, new scheme, no FAs until training camp. Can you say disaster? That team will be lucky to win 5 games this year. I don’t see them winning one game in their division. No way, no how.

Serves the pr!cks right.

PFT simply informs us of any relevant reports from the NFL, Players or media. It’s up to you to decide whether you believe a report or not.

I won’t believe a seal is struck until I see players at official training camps.

I can’t complain, I hated being hit in practice- at least we dont have as many full contact practices over the next ten years. Now if we could drag our feet a little longer maybe I can watch TV, twitter, maybe drop something in someones drink and call it a date! Oh how i will miss the air conditioner.”
