papasmurfbell Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 The Combine starts today. It is amazing how the CBA talk has completely overwhelmed usual big NFL off season stories. Quote
vmax Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Oh yea...I knew it but I'm not interested in it. Quote
BengalBilly Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The combine sucks ass. Always has. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 That is beside the point. Every yr it is the center of the football universe this time of yr. In 2011 it is way back burner. Quote
vmax Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The biggest news from the combine is this labor deal will not get done despite the current mediation.From Peter King... ...In other words, it's going to be a while. Talking to club officials, coaches, a couple of agents and some players here, I hear a lot more pessimism than optimism. The league doesn't want club officials commenting on much pertaining to the possible lockout ("I say nothing!'' Andy Reid told me last night, doing his best Sergeant Schultz from "Hogan's Heroes''), but this much is clear from taking the temperature of football people here: I expect this job action to last well into the summer. A man who just spent 45 hours with the parties said "very strong differences'' linger "on the all-important core issues.'' Forty-five hours. Little, if any progress on the issues that matter the most. I've said this throughout the process: Regardless how much commissioner Roger Goodell stresses the importance of the March 3 deadline to get a deal before the players are locked out of team facilities, it's a phony deadline. There's no need to make a deal before, say, Aug. 15.Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/02/25/labor-combine/index.html#ixzz1Ev6djxv1 Quote

52isUnstoppable Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Im convinced the world will end in 2012 now.... group of people cant work out a plan to share 8 billion dollars while the rest of us working class bust our asses all week for 1/10000th what they make to watch them play a fugging game. Its sickening how greedy humans have become Quote
papasmurfbell Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 This is why communism cannot work. People are innately greedy. They will want to take more than they need so the more powerful inthat system do. Eventually it collapses the market. Being absolute capitalists does the same general thing by squeezing out all your competition and gouging the little people. There is a small window between the two that is perfect. Quote
