I don't think he's that far off in generally saying "You don't want a baseball-like situation".

But on behalf of everyone I say, screw you all, wake us when this is over.

"screw dem owners, make em open their books11!!" Kneejerk reeruns.

It is amazing how so many of you can understand so little. You will be the same people who bitch and moan when the NFL becomes MLB and your football team has as little chance of winning anything as your baseball team does now.

Why would this matter?

Zactly

Seriously? If this were a STRIKE I would agree. Its not. The players were content with what they had and were willing to adopt a rookie wage scale.

The Owners claim they arent making enough. BS. Prove it.

How does opening books make football into MLB? If the owners didn't want to be exposed as frauds, then they shouldn't have started this in the first place.

I don't understand all the owner resentment in this thread.

Why should the owners open their books?

The fact you think a business owner is required to open his books to his employees shows how far off base you are.

To prove that they need the 600MM they're demanding.

Yawn.

Someone wake me up when all of these multi-millionaire whiny bitches end their little tiff.

I dont resent the Owners. But when you're a billionaire and you're crying about not making enough, then I have little sympathy for you.

How many multi millionaires are there in the NFL?

How about when the billionaires end their little tiff?

The multi-millionaires are the players and were happy with the status quo. The billionaire owners were the ones crying.

Why should they have to prove it? They certainly have the option to do it, but I don't see why anyone should expect them to do it when they have other cards to play.

Should every player open up his finances to his team when he's negotiating for a contract extension or a FA contract?
