The good news will be that they have just finished saying “Hello.” Don’t be hasty.

Lets rejoice that NFL could return in full action by this time next Sunday…. And not bring LA Vikings into it and ruining a good thing.

Minnesota lawmakers, business owners, Ramsey County and Dayton this fall and into winter will put together one last run at keeping the Vikings in either Minneapolis or siding with Ziggy on whatever Dayton needs to hear and we’re off to Arden Hills 2015.
They will get it done. Or they won’t. And the LA pundits will win.
But a major piece of history of the NFL will die, just ask the Browns fans. They’re nothing compared to the great tradition they had before they moved. Vikings-Packer-Bears is one of the best tri-team rivalry in the NFL, mainly due the closeness of their state borders.

It’d be sorely missed as it’s been a fun 50 years of intense battles on the playing field and some of the best off the field storylines in the entire NFL.

Please, hold off on LA til Feb 1st, 2012. Or may your favorite NFL team be doomed in 2011.

If it obviously isn’t about Arden Hills, which won’t happen for a while if ever, it doesn’t matter… Anyone who wants them in LA knows where to shove it.

What an absurdly idiotic notion of having a team called the Vikings in LA. Morons…

You guys can still root for them however when we open Arden Hills in 2015 and LA is still chasing the Chargers, Bills, 49ers and Raiders on the ‘build it and they will come’ and yet still no team arrives. hmmm…. bummer LA. I might almost feel sorry for you… just like our fathers did when we would whoop the LA Rams of the 70′s in the playoffs, cause they couldn’t play at the cold out at the Old Met… Not.

The good news will probably be the Vikings announcing they are moving to LA.

Disable that clown’s tweeter until he learns English. Or just disable it period. He’s gotten tiresome. He’s further angering the public perception of semi-literate NFL wide receivers. Soon to be ex-NFL wide receivers.

I don’t need false media reports to be angry at players. All I know is that owners have proposed several deals and even voted on 1 and accepted it while the players keep complaining about how they never got the proposed deal, while at the same time the deal (of which they apparently haven’t seen) had too many things the owners tried to “sneak in”.

Don’t blame the media for how disorganzied and un-unified you guys appear to be.

some people know nothing about big business…its not the players fault, its not the owners fault…its a labor negotiation, it happens…each side has to be comfortable with the deal or theyll get 5 years into it and someone will be complaining…the good thing is theyre working on it and its almost done…there will be football, the world will keep spinning and life will go on

rofl at the delusional lions fan who think #21 is going to detroit. hate to break it to all the people who are hoping he lands on their team if he can’t get a contending team to sign him he’s staying right where he belongs. he doesn’t need money he wants a ring. so heres hoping that the chargers, chiefs, pats or steelers dont pull the trigger on him. that would ruin my day.

The perception of the players is already damaged and don’t get me started on the perception of Ocho. I have always thought he was a bum.

By: patsandsox

patsandsox — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 23:56:45 +0000

Does Ocho really have an credibility with anyone left?

To me he is just an attention seeking blowhard.

Kind of like a certain coach I know that likes to look at pictures of feet.

Och sees this as a good news/bad news situation. Sadly, the good news is that it’s Monday.

Its obvious that Ochocinco is a “glass half empty” type of guy.

wasn’t it 72 hrs ago that the players were complaining about being “bamboozled”? Now everything is great and there’s a news conference tomorrow? what a bunch of prima donnas. Its like they didn’t get to have their press conference first so they had to stall over this thing the whole weekend to draw it out. What a bunch of BS.

I’m just as excited as everyone else that this thing FINALLY seems to be coming to an end. But, as fans, if you’re still upset with the way this thing drug out, there are a few things you can do to let your voice be heard.

If you’re angry with the players, write them a letter. Send a letter to the nflpa and DeMaurice Smith expressing your displeasure with the way they chose to litigate instead of negotiate. They avoided talks for two months. If they had spent that time working, this thing would be done by now. Also, stop buying jerseys. Brees, Manning, Brady all had their name attached to this lawsuit. I think if they each sold close to a million jerseys last year, only to see that number fall to a few thousand this year, that would send a loud message of fan disapproval.

If you’re upset with the owners, let them hear you. Cancel your season tickets. Cancel your NFL TV package. Quit shopping at the proshops and online stores. Write letters to the NFL sponsors that keep putting money in their pockets.

As soon as this deal gets done, everyone involved is going to go about their business, assuming that the fans will get over it rather quickly. If that’s not the case, then tell them about it. The only ones who have been left out in this whole ordeal is us, the fans. Now is the time to let them know that labor unrest is not ok.

I am still in amazment that Fouro finaly named a source (something his coulegues on espn, si and other sites have been doing all along).

To me that lends this report some credibility his other reports he contridicts an hour later have lacked.

To think he used to be my go to guy for NFL news the last two weeks with his phony reports has convinced me he should go work for the north korean media.

loser vets like Chester Pitts are the ones that put this deal off, they don’t want to have to get into camp and compete with younger players!

THANKS FOR WATERING DOWN THE LEAGUE THIS SEASON AND TAKING AWAY FROM THE ROOKIES YOU OLD WASH-UPS!!!

Before the end of the night we’ll have another article on here from another player rep that says a deal isn’t close yet and there’s still a lot of work to do.

Mark it down.
