Just when everything seemed as though it couldn’t get any better, and right when the league felt invincible, something happened.. Today there are over 70 different lawsuits, including the names of more than 1,800 different players, that are currently pending against the NFL, all relating to player safety. Lawyers are actively ”recruiting” retired players, and encouraging them to file lawsuits, to jump on the gravy train.. And then there is the Junior Seau suicide, which is a huge tragedy, and the timing couldn’t be any worse for the NFL. I really hope that these early signs of a perfect storm fade away and the grey clouds dissipate, because this is a very slippery slope..

My personal opinion is if you play the game, then you acknowledge the risks involved. No one is forcing these guys to play the sport, they are highly compensated to do so, and they are free to quit at anytime. While I believe it’s the league’s obligation to have player safety in mind (which I think they have done to some degree), I think retired players should NOT hold the right to sue the NFL. I believe that right is waived once you start cashing those massive paychecks. And while more safety rules will no doubt ensue, I sincerely hope we don’t eventually get a watered down version of the game that we all know and love..

Sorry for the long post folks, just something I heard discussed on the radio during my drive home last night, and it got me thinking. TGIF!!! ILMSDB!!!

Nice to see a couple new blogs online this morning. I’m usually so busy with the family in the evenings that I rarely get a chance to be on a computer, alone check into the blog……….same usually goes for the weekend.

Way to stick it to those aweful faider fans AB! They won’t be happy campers after we mop the floor with their a$$es next season. I’m looking forward to seeing VONDOOM take carson out of commission!

Good on the nuggets to force a game 7. Not really a hoops fan, but game 7′s are always exciting. And I love seeing the underdog take care of business.

I think that we made a great signing yesterday………you can’t argue with depth. Looks like we should be okay against the pass………but the run stuff still concerns me somewhat. I’m sure that JDR will have that line whipped into shape come opening day though………so I’m not worrying too much about it. I’m sure Von will be much better against the run this year…….he knows that’s a part of his game he needs to work on.

I think that Elway will make a few more additions here and there and it should be a great competition come camp time. I’m excited to see how our 53-man roster shapes up.

btw – just thinking about heward-bey’s DUI……….what ever happened to Praters? He was never disciplined by the league…….is that something that can happen this year? Same with Moreno?

BTW,seen another ground hog yesterday,didn’t even shoot it,no bounty collected on the 1st one,so no more killing them,a deal is a deal!

T.G.I.F.

GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LET’S GO!!!!!!

B.F.E.

I think it pretty silly to discuss which is worse. IMO What’s worse is always what happens to me.
