    **** the players. At the end of the day they are replaceable and in no way entitled to their exorbitant salaries.

    I don't want to see a work stoppage more than anyone else. But part of me would love to see the owners bring in replacement players and tell the NFLPA to shove it.

    So, a union that no longer exists is trying to bully non-union members into a boycott? Classic...

    This is like College Professors who are boycotting a university telling their students not to attend their graduation ceremony...

    Good luck with that you clowns. Demaurice Smith should die of Gonorrhea and rot in Hell.

    Its not like that. College graduates would be leaving their professors. Draft picks would become new union members.

    Not if there is no union.

    Okay fine, it's like the alumni of the school asking them. Either way it's one of the biggest days of their lives and the union* wants them to not participate because they can't behave like grownups?

    If I was one of those guys, I'd tell the union* to suck it...

    Better answer....


    You're so smart, we're so dumb. Bow down to thy superior ego.

    Yep, I'd watch football if the Broncos were a bunch of replacements. I root for the name on the front of the jersey first. It's not like the Broncos would have a team of scrubs and everyone else would have their starting rosters. If all teams were scrub players, there would still be competition.

    Shit, as far as I'm concerned, all the teams should cancel all the current players' contracts and hold open tryouts for anyone who wants to play. Start everyone off at league minimum with escalators for performance. If the guys that are currently playing don't want to play, f-them. I'd bet there are plenty of arena league, CFL, UFL, and out of work pros who'd love a shot at making league minimum (around $450 K/year) playing football.

    How cool would it be just to press a big reset button and just have every team start over with nobodies? It would be awesome, IMO.

    We need there to be SCABS coming in and replacing the existing greedy phucks. The last time that happened Joe Montanta had enough and crosse the picket line and started playing, then the rest followed.

    I don't care if it is a bunch of unknowns playing I just want football. The current players and DeMaurice Smith can screw off.

    What part about a LOCKOUT do you not understand? This is the OWNERS preventing the players from coming to work, not the players withholding their services for higher pay. The players ARE NOT on strike. The players are LOCKED OUT, unable to enter team facilities. Please read into the situation! Blame can be heaped onto the players no doubt, but to blame the players for not coming to work and call for scabs indicates a huge misunderstanding of the situation on your part.

    In fact, the whole reason the player's union decertified was to get an injunction against the owners locking them out in the first place.

    I have read that on here before; however, the union decertified first, and then the owners locked them out, so, therefore, the decertification did NOT stop a lockout. So, there must have been another reason that the players decertified.

    exactly....the owners could band together and say...we agree together...we will not sign any former players whatso ever ... that all contracts stay ....meaning ...if manning decides to come back...the browns cant grab him...he must go to the colts and they work out his salary

    that the max salary would 5 mill per year in the new league..hey if these guys wanna stay back with demorice smith and earn nothing...so be it...you wanna earn between 450k and 5 mill go back in

    the world is full of players...i would watch regardless if the players were the new rookies, unsigned players, ufl players, cfl players

    Yeah bro, I got one, too. The second he became a Raider I cut the name plate off the back. Now I just have a #84 jersey with no name. I like to think of it as a old Sharpe or a Lloyd jersey after this year...
