The NFL Strike Is Over! Now We Can Give Our Full Attention To The Middle East
All day long, the conversation has been about the end of the NFL strike. I wish mofos got this fired up over what's going on in the world that affects us all.
Anyway, are you ready for peace in our times some football?
I tell guys, `Why do you need that $250,000 car? A Mercedes is a great car and it’s $85,000. You can afford that on your salary, and what’s that ($250,000) car going to do for you?’
Seattle Seahawks guard Chester Pitts
I am in tears as I read this. My God.
Yes, Jesus, how, oh how, will the guys be able to face people when they are seen driving around in just a 85k car?
I think the money I was going to give to the Japan Tsunami victims fund is going to be put to better use for those poor, starving NFL players on strike.
Jesus take the wheel, that poor NFL player had to lay off his chauffeur driver!
Day 7 of the NFL Lockout. What's going to be of the NFL Season?
We’re into Day 7 of the NFL lockout , and there are a number of opinions on where things stand right now between the owners and players. One thing’s for sure, there is no shortage of individuals on both sides willing to talk about it.
New York Giants owner John Mara neatly summed up the arrogance of many of the NFL owners when asked about the financial state of NFL teams. “We have never claimed that teams are not making money,” said Mara, setting up a great punchline. “We're just not making as much of it. We need to recalculate this deal a little bit. And that was our message to them." Read More

Average Joe is pissed off with NFL lockout
The NFL lockout is only three days old and it’s already pissing a lot of people off.And that’s completely understandable when you consider the unemployment rate in this country is hovering around 10 per cent, and in some states it’s well into double digits.And while the Average Joe is hitting the pavement and/or the keyboard looking for a job or, for those with a job, sweating it out 40 or 50 hours every week just to make ends meet, the NFL owners and players are in a dispute over how to split more than $9 billion in revenue.Make no mistake, many of the NFL players are greedy people, but the owners are greedier.The billionaires who own NFL teams are completely out of touch with reality, which includes the Average Joe. Players are far more likely to be able to relate to average people. In other words, to the fans.TV contracts are worth $3.085 billion annually, with each team making an average of $96 million every year before selling a ticket or a T-shirt. Half the teams in the National Football League are worth more than $1 billion, and the cheapest team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, would cost you $725 million.
Some of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s recent comments haven’t exactly induced sympathy for the owners, like saying owners needed more money for "the many costs of financing, building, maintaining and operating stadiums."Why do billionaires, like Jerry Jones , need help building and running anything? Here’s another reason the owners don’t need anyone to feel sorry for them. The average NFL playing career is three years, and many players face serious medical issues in retirement. The average NFL owner’s average length of ownership is 18.3 years.And if the lockout drags out, it's going to affect a lot more than just the Average Joes who are football fans. According to figures supplied by the NFL Players Association, the average NFL city will lose $160 million and about 3,000 jobs if there is no season in 2011-12.
Tell Me what you think, am I wrong?

That awkward moment when an NFL player ponders how can they live off the League minimum...
As of the 2007 season, the minimum salary for a rookie is $285,000. The minimum salary increases according to the number of years the player has been in the league. The highest minimum salary is $820,000 for players who have been in the league 11 years or more.
The minimum salary structure for 2007 is as follows:
Rookies and first-year players $285,000
Second-year players $360,000
Third-year $435,000
Fourth-year $510,000
Fifth- through seventh-year $595,000
Eighth- through tenth-year $720,000
Eleventh-year and longer $820,000
So sad.
Excuse me, I am verklempt. I anguish at the thought of some poor NFL player having to survive on the league minimum while my guitar gently weeps for these poor souls.
You know this must be an very important issue because this story has blocked out the whole Wisconsin protests. Who wants to hear about mofos wanting to keep their right to fight for raises and proper pensions when a reserve tight end for the Carolina Panthers may not get a raise next season. Wah.
The NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleaders, everybody!
How does one become a Pro Bowl Cheerleader?
"Yeah, I loved how Bambi did that cheer during the Seattle game. That was a real turning point in our season."
"KelLeigh spells her name really cool."
"Monica's switch from a brunette to a blonde before the Baltimore game was a magnificent ploy. They never saw it coming."
"Danielle's pom-pom work is flawless. She is raising the bar for all of cheerleading!"
Yeah, I'm thinking that's EXACTLY how one becomes a NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleader.
Indeed, bravo.
But, the NFL Strike is coming up! OMG! The strike is coming and no one is thinking about the cheerleaders! Not even the President!
Will someone think about the cheerleaders? Jesus? Pacman Jones?
Some front offices and coaching staffs did a much better job of fielding competitive teams on short notice DURING THE 1987 NFL PLAYERS STRIKE: Redskins GM Bobby Beathard began assembling a replacement team well before the strike. As a result, coach Joe Gibbs actually cut some of the 50 players who reported for practice and went 3-0 during the strike on the way to a Super Bowl victory. By contrast, the Bears counted just 21 bodies when practice resumed. Eagles' head coach Buddy Ryan made no secret of his disdain for replacement players. "We might have the worst bunch of guys ever seen together as football team." He apparently wanted to show his veterans that he was on their side. Not surprisingly, the "Scab Eagles" went 0-3 and Ryan's veterans didn't make the playoffs when they returned.
THE NFL LOCKOUT provides a different reason for a potential season in peril. In 1987 some teams were ready for the players to go on strike and had their "REPLACEMENT" set up to win. it payed off for those who were prepared.
