They've pretty much priced the fans out because of those beyond absurd salaries. Now when of one 'em finds a cure for cancer, I'll be impressed. Until then, they need to get their collective heads out of their collective asses! I don't even watch football in the idjit box anymore because I'm so disgusted with the lot of 'em!

He woke up to something I said oh, about 15 or more years ago....the rookies are making way too much money. But, hey, who's giving them the money? Why, the dumbass owners, that's who. And while the rooks are making a killing, the whole league is turning their collective backs on the old veterans who are crippled and can't function properly because of laying it all out on the field. I work with an ex NFL player, and I hear some of the stories about other old timers who get their claims denied by the NFL as well as the friggin' union. Now Roger wants the union to join in and help police the owners penchant for throwing money around like they're at a shake joint with Pacman (that's right, Pacman) Jones? Get real. Learn from the baseball owners stupidity. Years ago, after Catfish Hunter broke the bank signing with the Yankees, the baseball owners started chunking money around. When it dawned on them years later that they were in "financial stress", they tried to stop paying all the high salaries. The union took them to court, and the court sided with the union, finding the owners guilty of collusion. Now, for the PSL's....f@#k that. A guy thats had the same season tickets for 20 years now has to fork over at least $4K just to have the right to buy them? Bullshit. Keep on building your palaces, guys. As corporate America squirms under the pressure of todays economy, watch what starts happening to your crowds. I know I can't (and wouldn't if I could) pay the god-awful price of admission you ask. I'll take my ass to the golf course or to the lake, or somewhere I can actually do something to have fun. When the stands are empty, ya'll can sit around with the players and ask each other "WTF??"
