NFL Lockout, Draft and such

[TimE]

This is one time I am definitely on the side of the union. They have to extend some better health care to the older players who built this league into what it has become. I watched on HBO Sports a good segment about a group in New Jersey trying to work with the older players. Most of these guys will not leave the game without some lifetime injury. The things they put their body through to entertain people like myself is ridiculous.

Their salary is ridiculous. I love the NFL as much as anyone but give me a break. If the owners don't do something now, it may be too late next year. Look at it like the U.S. economy,sorry but EVERYONE has a bossman.


I just think this bidding war has to slow down or else.

Their salary is ridiculous? Look up the average NFL salary, not what the superstars make but the average. Then look at career length of the players and the debilitating injuries they leave the game with.

The owners have to do something? Are you serious? They are making billions, the NFL is not going broke and there dang sure won't be NFL owners in the food stamp office any time soon. In all actuality the owners do not even pay the players, their money comes from the TV contracts so in effect the networks pay them. The owners get all the concessions and ticket revenue etc. but there is no owner paying the money out of their own pocket.
