dwertman Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A fascinating column by the commish...http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704132204576285090526726626.html?mod=rss_opinion_mainSounds like a lot of rubbish to me, classic exaggeration and fear-mongering... Am I wrong?(Of course, the players' spokesmen are just as willing to use exaggeration and fear-mongering.)"? No limits on free agency. Players and agents would team up to direct top players to a handful of elite teams. Other teams, perpetually out of the running for the playoffs, would serve essentially as farm teams for the elites."I wonder what Stern thinks of him playing that card?

Now that bin Laden is dead, this coming 10th anniversary of 9/11 is going to be a day of massive reflection and honoring everything involved in what happened then and since.Guess what day is supposed to be the NFL regular season opener?9/11/2011.The NFL and players need to think long and hard just about how HORRIBLE it will look for the league if there's no football on this day of American pride and emotional outpouring that the NFL isn't having games due to selfishness and greed.Clock's ticking.

If we're all supposed to be relecting and having an emotional outpouring, I think it would be kind of silly to put that all aside to get drunk and watch football. I don't think that the NFL should not have it's regularly scheduled game on 9/11, but I don't understand at all how them missing it is such a bad thing. Maybe America needs to "think long and hard" about why professional sports are so directly associated with "American pride".

Kevin W. Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The two lawyers who will argue the NFL's appeal next month are the same two lawyers who argued Bush v. Gore before the Supreme Court.

UPGRADE!!!But Bob Papa is as familiar with the NFL due to his work with the NYG, than Nessler is with NCAA football. The PBP is a downgrade to be, but after this past Notre Dame season on NBC, I love Mike Mayock.You also forgot that Andrea Kremer is TBD, but Michelle Tafoya is now on Sunday Night Football.

BlueSky Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well, several Saints may be about to test the waters on American Idol......or, judging from the papers they have, maybe it's Don't Forget the Lyrics. Actually they're singing the National Anthem at a charity softball event. Is it a little scary that they apparently needed the words?In other news, the team says Julius Jones is "not in our plans" and Mark Ingram was wearing Jones' # 21 at the softball game. So it seems 1) Jones won't be back and 2) Ingram will be wearing # 21. From the footwear I gather he didn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
