I got it, guess cause I'd ordered stuff from NFL.com. The NFL is going at the fans, the NFLPA is going to the press and politicians, doesn't give me a lot of confidence in them getting something worked out.

"We're not making enough money, what with having to pay another 49 dollars a month to NFL retirees for medical expenses."

A rookie no matter how high a draft pick shouldn't be paid equal to the top of the league.
And a lucrative contract should be escalators that the Rookie athlete achieves. Pay your dues. With a standard set for draft position. No more contract extortion negotiations. Get em signed and let's play.

I fully expect the 2 sides to get something done, after as much public drama, name calling and mud slinging as possible - and at the 11th hour 59th minute.

I think he misunderstands what fans are saying about preseason games. It's not the quality of the games it's the fact that it cost the same as a regular season game that they don't like. Or maybe he's turning a blind eye to that because they ain't giving up that revenue.

He's also acting like the starters play in all 4 preseason games. What a ridiculous little toady for the owners he is.

He's right about a lot of that. The only disengenuine speak I read was his comment about 18 game season not adding to the burdeon of players. 2 more competitive games adds a lot of snaps to starters that they wouldn't otherwise have.
Player safety efforts helps to balance that somewhat, but even that isn't keeping up with the increased speed (and violence) of the game. So it doesn't offset the expanded number of snaps that players will be playing. Otherwise, most of that is correct, even if it is an obvious PR effort. |

If the NFL really wanted to get fans on their side... particularly given the effort to win fans over with the "10% umployment hurts us all" talk... they should offer a 5% cut in ticket prices as part of their proposal. Something that would recognize the sacrafice that fans have made over the last couple year. Even if only nominally.

Forget the eighteen game season. I would like eighteen but it would Deminish the records that have stood for decades. Every year would be projected this vs actual that. I guess I just like the history of the game too.
