How 'bout That NFL ?

DonDiego opines the Eagles feel the same way about Michael Vick.

HMMMMM,seems i'm gonna be in the negative camp on this. I kinda sorta hope they have no season(and me,a HUGE steeler fan, whos team just went to the super bowl,and thinks they can get back,and pays out the wazoo for sunday ticket). Bunch of bitchy millionaires/billionaires,screw 'em. See what happens if they F the fans for a season. Like we don't get F'd as it is.I've read a few other boards and that seems to be the prevailng thought also.
Anyone hear anything of replacement players? Can the owners do it? If so I want falco, clifford franklin and danny bateman on my team

The NFL season could fall by the wayside this year and I could care less. Greed from both sides and the fans are on the chopping block. Bring on some great college football games to TV screeens on Sunday and forget them all together. First may come the owners, then the players, and then finally the fans. I enjoy NFL football just a much as others but all the smoke screens being thrown fans way is a joke. So let the owners go without the proceeds and the players go without paychecks I could care less.

I am a huge Vikings fan and love the NFL, but I also feel the same way. I hate the greed on both sides and how the fans are an afterthought in all of this. I don't even read any NFL news right now, because the whole thing makes my stomach turn.

DonDiego has heard no discussion of replacement players. DonDiego does not know if the owners can do it. DonDiego supposes no one knows.

The Judge who ruled the lockout must cease provided no guidance, as to who may do what with whom.
Some teams opened their facilities, let the players workout in the gymnasiums, allowed trainers and others to work with the players. Other teams opened their facilities and directed the players to the cafeteria.

Do the rules extant when the Player-Owner Agreement ended come back into play? Are free-agents, now free to negotiate new contracts? Can teams work out deals and trades prior to or during the Draft this week? Dunno.

The one thing the Owners do know is whatever they do they cannot be perceived as acting in concert, because the last thing they want is for someone, . . . a player?, . . . to file an anti-trust lawsuit. If that were to happen the NFL-as-now-constituted would cease to exist. So the Owners are on eggshells.

DonDiego supposes both sides oughta walk softly, lest they do something that screws the pooch for everyone.


For the record, DonDiego wants his NFL Football! He does care. He wants his beloved Eagles to dominate. He wants to watch the despicable Cowboys fail, . . . again, . . . and again, . . . and again. He wants to play fantasy football; if anyone encounters the "Steampunk Juggernauts" or the "Poteen Peckerwoods" in their league, it's really just poor old DonDiego.
Football is DonDiego's life.

I need NFL football.

NFL players are the inmates who want to run the asylum. Without football a large percentage would be in prison or on some street corner pimping and/or selling drugs. I no longer have any interest in these prima donna cretins and am tired of their law breaking actions. Once again I read that Fat Albert Haynesworth is in trouble. Seems like not a day goes by without one of these scumbags being arrested. Good riddance to these losers. The owners should weed out these deviants/criminals and clean up the game - as it is now it is not worth the time and money that is wasted on these so called athletes.

I guess I would rather have these criminals playing football than out selling drugs and or pimping or committing armed robbery. Although some still do, but one could say the NFL helps cut down crime, not?

I want my NFL football. Sports books in Vegas wouldn't exist without it.

This Niner fan won't miss the league because the sport as played these days is simply ridiculous.

Too many games are decided by referees applying rules that longtime fans like myself have never heard of, followed by a press release from the league office on Monday saying the rules were incorrectly applied, sorry the wrong team won but that's how it goes.

Kinda like pro wrestling, with winners and losers determined by things other than skill and strategy.

MUCH prefer hockey and baseball.
