There's a big add difference. You think kids grow up dreaming to work at McDonald's? The players are extremely privileged. I don't give a poo about the injuries. Most of these guys already received a free college degree. You really think they have something to complain about. Now you have the game to where its almost two hand touch and now they wanna complain about that. They just need to end this bickering.

So silly on many levels.

Everyone has their own opinion. You think its new age slavery. I thinks grown men playing a game and getting crazy paid. Doesn't really make a difference. I'm just pissed at everyone now. The lawyers did all this so called detailing language. I assumed the owners and players would be looking at the same pieces of paper that have been negotiating on the whole.summer and now they want to play chess over our money.

Players are real quick to spout off their two cents on every issue using social media and other modern means, yet when the owners want them to use those available modern technologies to re-certify, they say 'no, we want to mail out the union cards via USPS to be signed and returned.' um WTF?

I realy would like to see someone outside of the two sides look at what the owner's adopted and see if that is what the two sides agreed to. I really don't beleive the owners or the players at this point. They both are playing the fans not each other. In the end they both will get paid but the fans seem to be the ones losing in all this.

No I don't.

Elite professionals should get paid. You think the top 1% of 1% of 1% of investment bankers, salespeople, doctors, teachers etc...don't get paid? Many of them more than comparable NFL players.

You just can't compare an NFL player to your average worker bee.

Why can't I compare them when if they're cut and not picked up by another team they have to go and look for a job just like.the rest of us. I had an assistant principal who use to play for the dolphins and now he's a "working bee" . I have a friend who was on the jets got cut after one season and now makes less than me. It's these guys that sign these big contracts that are doing most of the complaining.

Don't like reading "power play" and "being played."

The owners have put the players in a hole. And these public perception battles just make everyone look bad.

Bullsh!t.

The owners ratified a proposal which had been in negotiation for over a month.

(Edit: Might I add... a FEDERALLY APPOINTED MEDIATED NEGOTIATION AT THAT)

This is the second deal the owners have tried to make, BOTH times the players have simply turned their back on it. BOTH deals have been very compromising from the details I've read, and BOTH sides are not getting exactly what they want in them (which is about all you can expect from a labor compromise).

This little media spin tactic by Dickwad Smith just shows his true colors. He is willfully trying to sabotage the NFL, and destroy an american institution.

At this point, I say give him what he wants. Close shop on the NFL. Shut the whole fuger down. Then restart it in another name with new employment policies with regard to employees in an AT-WILL state, where a labor union can't survive.

Maybe then these dumbass players will realize the loss of the former greatness of the thing they are actively helping destroy.

I think the players are in a pretty bad spot. If they drag this out to the point that games are missed I don't think its ridiculous to expect to hear more boos than cheers the first time they take the field.

And I love it when I actually agree with BCG. Just proves to myself that I'm not just trolling him when we disagree.

:D

Take solace Inimicus, even when you're opposed to what I'm saying, you seem to draw out a chuckle from me.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
