Congrats to the Packers. I decided to root for the Packers in the SB. It was a tough decision as a Bears fan, but I couldn't bring myself to root for the Pittsburgh Thieves. I believe Dad would have backed the Packers (grudgingly) as well. Next year the Bears will definitely dominate the Packers and the NFC North- no question!
The difference was definitely split, eh? Never really been a fan of Pittsburgh so I'm glad to see the Packers bring home the gold, so to speak.
The players want this, the owners want that. The fans just want a brat, a beer and their favorite player to do the 'LamboLeap'. Replacements II ? Local paper today told the story of NFL players playing 'chicken' with the replacements bus from 25 years ago. Stay tuned.
If they strike this year, it will be the straw that breaks the camels back for me. I will abandon the NFL Sunday Ticket on Directv, and NFL football for good. There's plenty of exciting college ball on and it doesn't keep me up late on Sundays and Mondays.
Figured I'd put in a word. I've always been a die-hard Chargers fan, still am, but like nearly everything else, I can't keep track of it anymore. And since I've moved to Arizona, I'll give lip service to the Cardinals, but I know they need a lot of work.
Heh, I just wish Arizona would change that teams name to something that could survive in the desert. Packers......the champs. Good to say that again especially to Bears Fans still talking about 1985. ESPECIALLY the Bears fans that weren't ALIVE in 1985, heh. Dang. I miss football already. Should run all year. ~Rex
Solutions to the problem(s) the NFL has? Rookie contract salary caps SOUNDS like the one thing the players really want, which would free up money for the veterans. The rookies are actually not in the union until later on and have no obligation to follow a cap as of now. I have no idea why the owners wont agree to this, but now they are losing players to other smaller leagues. Something better happen soon, cause I dont wanna drive to Omaha every other Sunday. :roll:
Anybody watch the NFL draft? Unless they fix union negotiations, it was nothing more than a fantasy draft. I have a feeling that they will play the season out because CHEIFS/ARROWHEAD STADIUM just announced parking is going up $5 from 22 TO 27. :|
