Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

Too much money involved to not have a season. Those owners and networks won't lose that much revenue, not a chance.
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

I was impressed that some of the Saints have been holding unofficial team gatherings (running drills without coaches present, working out, etc) in hopes that all gets ironed out and the season will go on. They can't practice officially while the negotiations are open.

Agree! I laughed so hard when Ray Lewis predicted a surge in crime if the NFL season was lost. The ego's these dudes have astounds me. I can't spend a nickle on sports without thinking of where a penny of that nickle is going.

Nice Frog. I ran into one of his brothers down at the Lagos de Montebellos on the Mexico/Guatemalan border a number of years ago.

That's because without football to play, he'd revert back to being who he is, a criminal.

Sounds like a deal is nearly worked out. Besides, I really think the Pack can add some more trophy's if they stay healthy.

Seattle has been practicing off and on. Doesn't matter though... we still have Hasslebeck as our QB. He sure does have a hot wife though
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

Dont care if they do or not. Most out of work player will end up being drains on the rest of us. To much ego to work for what most americans work for and not a huge salary for playing a damn game. Just my .02
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

An epic clash of egos between millionaires just a few credit hours away from a degree in communications and risen from the shitholes of America vs billionaires who could float God a loan from an inherited money stack the origins of which is best not scrutinized.

Throw in auxillaries of lawyers, agents and publicity agents and the lines are drawn. Going to be better than Jersey Shore but that is a low bar.

I guess both sides will drag in hot dog vendors, ticket takers and such to hold up as the people being thrown out of work, but the entourages must be a bit nervious as well.

My heart goes out to those Skybox owners who will lose the opportunity to sit as the scions of Rome did all those years ago to smooze and booze clients. Whats the point of company money if you cant spend it?

So too for the ad agencies peddling male hardon pills and beer. (the ying and yang of America boiled down to 2 minutes of Television- hardon makers and takers pushed to the masses side by side) The wannabee escort service girls who prance around in the later and the stock holders of the former.

Now that I think on this, far more of our economy is tied into proffessional sports than I first thought. The trickle down effect of wealth maynot be strong but the trickle down of unenmployment has been shown to be strong and now long.

President Obama needs to federalize the industry and set it up like Green Bay, (the sole franchise held up by the billionaires as a symbol of democratic ownership while lusting to corportize the crap out of it), let the people own the means of production. Let the Gladiators choose between selling cars/drugs or working for the working man.

POWER to the PEOPLE!

Well it has been a very hot day, might have affected me a tad.

Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

Pro Football. How cares. Pro sports are full of too much ego and spoiled adult men acting like adolescents a lot of the time. After all, it is just sports.
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

If they never played again, would anyone really notice.....?
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

I would notice, sob uncontrollably, then turn to college ball. Is that what you want? Huh?

Football is all I have!

Not really, but I really like football!

That must have been on the day this happened:

THE RECAP - V BUCCANEERS 27, SAINTS 23
December 03, 2007|By Chris Harry, Sentinel Staff Writer
*OVERVIEW: Tampa Bay backup QB Luke McCown passed for a career-high 313 yards and two touchdowns, the second a 4-yard dart to TE Jerramy Stevens with 14 seconds to play to push the Buccaneers to a stunning 27-23 road victory against New Orleans. The win gave the Bucs a three-game lead in the NFC South Division and the tiebreaker against the second-place Saints by virtue of a season sweep.

<span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="color: #000099">*TURNING POINT: With his team leading 23-20 and just 3:36 to go, Saints Coach Sean Payton called a double-reverse pitch play deep on a second-and-10 from his 49. RB Reggie Bush's poor toss resulted in a fumble that was recovered by Bucs DT Jovan Haye at the Saints' 37. Tampa Bay scored the game-winning touchdown eight plays later.
</span></span>
*UNSUNG HEROES: The right side of the Bucs' offensive line, manned by G Davin Joseph and T Jeremy Trueblood, helped clear the path on the 2-yard run by Earnest Graham on fourth-and-1 that kept alive the decisive drive.
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

Better be a season, got a dedicated section now to trash talk QQ.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: queequeg</div><div class="ubbcode-body">There better be NFL ball this fall God Damnit! </div></div>

Week 6 and Week 9 should produce some excellent opportunities for trash talking and a friendly gentleman's wager. Maybe the losing team's dedicated fan should sport the winning team's logo as their avatar for that week?
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

Seems fair!

I don't remember how I posted my own avatar beyond the day I asked my youngest daughter to do it for me...I guess either of them can help me again in the remote, minuscule, highly improbable, nearly impossible, entirely unlikely event of a Bucs loss to their bayou rival.

I believe there is no team in the whole NFL that gives the Saints, and their devoted fans, the cold sweat nightmares our beloved Bucs provide!

That alone is worth a week of eating crow!
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

It amazes me how ignorant some of you seem to be. Not about the season, but about the players. You want to take a few example and paint the entire genre with it. Each team carries 53 (+/-) and I guarantee 80-90% will do just fine, in fact, better than most, outside of sports and football. Ask me how I know.

Pac-10 all the way. Records don't lie.
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

im hoping there isnt one.... one year without hearing about the crap would be nice.
 
Re: Will there be an NFL season this year or not?

If no NFL season, I'll have to put up with crowds at Cabelas on Sunday afternoons and the traffic that goes with it. Unthinkable.

Are you serious? Roughly 45%-50% of NFL players graduate college. So barring this economy a college graduate will usually find work in their chosen field. Many athletes, especially graduates, will find work even in bad economies through alumni associations and/or fellow players or friends.

Find a sports agent. He'll find you all the football players you want.
