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...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.

      We have attempted several over the past two seasons. Maybe two successful?
