New York Jets LB Bart Scott feels the NFL lockout is starting to get out of hand. 'We're bordering now on the verge of insanity. Fans don't want to hear about lockout,' Scott said. 'They don't want to hear about people arguing over $9 billion. They want the bottom line. Because at the end of the day, these guys are saving up throughout the entire year to come out and spend their hard earned money to see football. And we're telling them that they can spend their hard earned money but we're not playing until we figure it out. I listen to (Patriots owner Robert) Kraft. I don't agree with the Patriots on a lot of things, but I agree with him that we're really on the verge of irritating our fan base and damaging the fabric of the game.'

We have a feeling there are more players who feel the way Scott does.

I'm glad at least some people understand this pisses the fans off.

Normally I could care less about the opinion of any player outside of Carolina, but Bart Scott gets it. I think a lot of these statements, and in my opinion the player organized workouts, are all just a show so the public will side with the players. But I'm all for publicly airing any statement or activity that will get a deal done.

Just imagine how all of these journyman players feel. You know, the one's who are not making $7 mil a year, along with endorsement deals? I guarantee you that some of those guys are really starting to sweat.
seriously. either they are relying on the genorosity of players that have a lot of money (like ware is doing with some of the cowboys in sharing what he has) or they are hitting up their agents for money. the ones that have invested their money are probably going to have to dip into that some before too long. none of that is appealing. i can't imagine players wanting to go much longer.

More (scary) news about how the lockout is affecting those players who didn’t think to save their money when they had the chance.

On Tuesday, Salgado tweeted that he knew of an NFL player who just took out a $500,000 loan with an astronomical interest rate of 23 percent.

Ouch...

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
