		<description><![CDATA[Bah Blah Blah.... just biased union propaganda. Basically he&#039;s just yelling out SCABS!!! They&#039;re not as good as us!!! They&#039;re SCABS!!!

I have no problem with the refs getting their due wages.... I hope they do. But strikes piss me off and union strong arm tactics/lying propaganda piss me off even more.

One of the best things Ronald Reagan did as POTUS was replace the striking air traffic controllers when they were trying to hold the entire world hostage to their demands. As it turned out, their threats of grave danger and the certainty of multiple disasters never did happen because the replacement air traffic controllers did just fine. Ultimately it illustrated perfectly an undeniable truth: That you don&#039;t actually need a union card to be competent. Imagine that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The refs want to keep their pension plan.

The owners want to substitute a 401K.

So we have an impasse and we will get replacement refs who will work for cheap.

I can understand union busting in industries where America can&#039;t compete and you either make concessions or everyone is out of work, but this is professional football and they are literally printing money.  This is union busting for the sake of union busting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[i think refs trying to affect the outcome of points scored is a very real possibility with so many strangers flowing into the officiating corps. they know they won&#039;t be there long. and they don&#039;t need the dude with big gold chains either who later might become a liability. just send a bff to vegas to place the bet with a very normal looking casino worker. i think the fact that the league isn&#039;t showing the least concern for that possibility shows very poorly on the goodell and the owners.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Basic rules to follow:

1.) If it helps the Pats win, it&#039;s the right call.

2.) Make rules up that can be adopted next year as a rule to make it look right, IE The Tuck Rule.

3.) Fantasy holding &amp; pass interferences must benefit the Pats.

4.) Taping all your opponents practices / walk-throughs after the 2006 is illegal, no titles since.

5.) Dirty hits &amp; cheap shots get 2 flags on both teams to cancel eachother out.

6.) Kraft gives you cheese but not the kind you eat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For 25 years ago he has a valid point, but in today&#039;s world I can find out more about YOU in 5 minutes than they could in 5 years back then...but the SCABS still won&#039;t be anywhere near as good as the Regular Officials, and that&#039;s just a shame...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned this in another post. The biggest concern with replacement officials is a rogue official like a Donaghy. All it takes for one bad apple to stain the game. The NFL hopefully vetted all of these officials properly but there are no guarantees. I would hope the league would not let a few dollars to them jeopardize the integrity of the game which could cost them a whole lot of money in the long run. Think, guys!]]></description>
