[Happy Panther]

"not to be discouraged"

He followed that up with

"Show me some tittays and gib me a chicken biscuit RAWR! Here's a pie chart son RAWR!!!!"

I paraphrased that last bit but I bet he said it.

Dunno if my "discouragement" can handle a whole year without Panthers Football.

I urge Jerry Richardson not to eat again.

Ever.

too late....i am way pass discouraged......the players took the nuclear option

[SPANKY]

tittays, pie, RAWR! Easy for him to say. That's still funny Happy!

The owners lost a ton of money today. The players have no idea that they are choking the golden goose. I cannot feel sorry for them. They hired DeMaurice Smith and he tried to use the game and them to make a name for himself. He did. I shall call him, MF A-hole.

Goodell, you are next. You pushed the extended schedule and you knew the players did not want it. Eric Winston came up with a solid suggestion to lengthen the schedule (Thursday night games, extended playoffs) -- Can you not think outside the box a bit and come up with a compromise they would accept too? No, you forced it.

Cut the preseason to 2 games. Add a buy week. Play 17 games, 8 home, 8 away, every team plays 1 on foreign soil (one game each week abroad) if you want to promote the game internationally. Extend the playoffs by eliminating buys and going with 8 teams. Go big networks for Thursday nite football. The players would get extra compensation for playoff games. So you actually would be eliminating 1 game, from 20 to 19.

And those owners will still get paid the tv money even if there is a lockout.

I blame the players for this. I would love to see the players not make a dime this year because of their selfishness.

And those owners will still get paid the tv money even if there is a lockout.

I thought a judge ruled that they couldn't have that money?

I think that is right.

However if the ever did actually get the money it was a loan to be repaid with interest.

I can't fathom the NFL swiftly recovering from this pending lockout.

It will destroy them.
