Lockout in the NFL in 2011
-
They suck the money from the fans with $8.00 beers, $4.50 bottles of water, etc. The players get paid so much they could retire after one year and live in luxury. xxxx them! Let them lockout for all I give a shit.

Are you sure that Green Bay's decline isn't a direct result of Brett Favre being traded to the Jets?

I don't even want to hear or think about this subject while there is a season going on. And really, don't bother us with all the constant stories of "woe is us billionaires and millionaires". Just post a notice that matters are settled. Until then: STFU.

Nah, I enjoy communicating with you too much Gipper. My next post will be asking for contributions to help Jerry Jones offset the Cowboys' bad season.
The one and only time losing is acceptable is when it involves your virginity. -

How about this: Jerry should donate ownership of the team to the State of Texas...or at least sell it off so it becomes a publicly owned company, like the Packers.

No, I just don't think us fans need to be inundated with talk about the "Labor Strife" that the NFL owners and players are supposedly going to go through. They are all fabulously wealthy, so whatever issues there are between them...can say between them (and yes, I know there are some legitimate issues to be dealt with). Just don't involve us.

you can talk all you want about millionaires being greedy about losing millions, but this is a great post and explains it well. I understand they'd still all be extremely rich, but Gipper if you owned a business that saw profits declining anywhere from 30-50% (which is where the estimates are) would you not do something drastic to change it? I understand where you're coming from here, but you have to realize the owners see this as a business. And in the business world it's all about making money. I would probably go insane if there is a lockout, but honestly as much as I hate to admit I side with the owners on this one.
Honestly, everyone who uses the argument "well they are filthy rich who cares if they lose a couple million dollars" is speaking somewhat out of ignorant bliss. I can understand the argument "well he lost 3 million dollars, but he still made 10 million" and call the person greedy. But trust me, if you actually made that much money, you'd be doing the same damn thing. People who make that much money work VERY hard to do so. When these owners or anyone sees that money drop a lot, they will do something about it. It's just good business, you can't understand without being in their shoes.

I don't necessarily disagree with anything you say. All I am saying is: Hey, you guys. Deal with it. Solve your problems. Keep us out of it. Play ball!

I'm not trying to be a jerk Gipper. I like much of what you say on here, but you could use your last quote about subjects such as who will start at QB, should Mangini stay, etc. Whether we like it or not, player salaries, owner profits, management/labor bargaining agreements, etc. all have a major and direct impact on the game....probably as much or more than individual coaches and players at times. Peace.

and i also understand what you're getting at too, but it's inevitable that we as fans will get heavily wrapped into it. There's just too much technology and media outlets for this not to happen. It's better IMO then to actually understand the situation then try and forcibly stay away from it ya know?
