Lockout Thread

but then he'll look like a quitter, thus making it very diffcult for him to win a seat in politics, which we should all know was the underlying reason he took on this job to begin with..

Time for Demarcus Smith to pick up his pants, realize he just got farged and lost this battle, and come to some kind of an bargaining agreement with the owners ASAP.

or he could just keep lying his face off

[ice grillin you]

semantics

the point is the players are going to court to try and play football while the league is going to court trying to not play football

PFT = NBC who is in bed with the NFL = pro ownership pieces by mike florio

[MDS]

the comments on the site are sickening

every last one is just killing d smith and propping up the owners. im sure its not nfl staffers spamming the comment section. im sure its just regular people who support billionaires hard earned greedy business propositions.

america in general is filled with really dumb people who the majority of are always gonna be on the wrong side...so thats expected

but florio on almost every other issue ive ever heard him on has always been super fair....however since this lockout every single time he comes on WIP now he is so pro owner its ridiculous

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It's easy to be pro owner when De Smith is the #1 talking head for the players. He's an idiot, and the players would get a better deal with someone else. So frankly, De Smith is bad for football, bad for the owners, and bad for the players.

and hes still better than at least 25 of the 32 owners...dont look at the people look at the facts involved with the situation...if you do that and dont come away seeing that this is 100% on the owners then you have an agenda


on the flip side in 04 the nhl owners were 100% right

[Drunkmasterflex]

It is amazing how many people do think the owners are right, I guess people forget that the players are the ones that make the game.

[ice grillin you]

while i agree
thats true in all sports whether there is labor unrest or not and thus isnt really a reason you can use because you have to take each particular strike/lockout seperately

there are times when ownership has to make changes that favor them because a particular league has monotary issues....but the current nfl system is pretty much the worst example of that you could ever find

[Rome]

i've found that the people who do support the owners usually hate unions or organized labor of any sort.  in other words, people who are stupid enough to vote against their own interests.

Pretty sure Ray Lewis said that crime will rise if there's no NFL season because there's nothing else for people to do.

yeah i watched the whole interview....it was amazing...sal pal even tried to steer him away from it by answering the question for him saying 'you mean all the people that are going to be put out of work by a lockout - like stadium employees and shtein?'

and then ray ray still went off into lunatic land

[General_Failure]

Three hours a week for seventeen weeks is all that stands between me and a shooting spree.

[Eagaholic]

I shudder to think of the homicidal carnage and senseless destruction we'd see every Thanksgiving if it wasn't for the Detroit game. Because we get to see it on the field instead, I guess.
