Well looked like a we had a few more Packers fans than Steelers fans on the blog (smart folks) and I ate some crow after the game. My wife was a Packer Backer and yea, heard it all the way home as my two boys giggled at me. They picked the Steelers too, so Mom was right….this time.

Caramelloo, agree with your post in the prior blog and you all know the drill, the Broncos management has to keep things on an even keel and keep everyones stock as high as possible to keep the highest perceived value as possible…….don’t blame them if you want to get the highest pick possible for a trade regardless of who it is.
The CBA, again, same drill..blah, blah, blah and then they get together and “I THINK” they will hammer something out. The games at the top of it’s public awareness and popularity right now and the worse thing for all parties is to have a lockout or go into a scab-season, etc. So, I like you hope it’s all lip-service. There’s plenty of dollars to go around and I agree with a number of issues on both sides.
You have to have a rookie salary cap with the run-a-way dollars the owners are paying or UNPROVEN talent…seriously. Sorry fellas but having a good college career is meaningless in the NFL and the owners shouldn’t have to pay for it. I also agree that the prior players should have better benefits since they helped make the game what it is today. It’s a violent sport and some will say then don’t play….yea right.
Guys that say that, never had a chance to play, kinda like the talking heads in the media that never played at any level. Anyway, doesn’t make sense to get into all the items until we know what the major items will end up being that can or can’t be agreed on becuae it’s really just a waste of time. Kind of like speculating on a QB’s abilities until they have played. :O)
What do you all think and CONGRATS to all you Packer pickers……you won!!
Coop
Of course O lineman are some of the smartest players around, thought I needed to set the record straight on this here blog…..
Regarding the CBA I concur with Coop that there are a lot of reasonable requests being made and it seems to me that for the sake of everyone the rules surrounding the negotiations should have a timeline whereby if the two parties do not reach agreement by the expiration date of the previous agreement the status quo should remain for one month whilst the agreement goes to arbitration.
How do you think it would be best to ensure agreements are met through arbitration?
Let’s start a new blog with an update on the CBA.
Bay and you guys are funny.. Elway was the toughest and YES……he did go to the HALL OF FAME partially because of his scrambling ability…..and I take full credit for it O.K.
Somebody might as well!!

AND it was Sports Illustrated that said the Offensive lineman were the smartest guys on the field and I have to AGREE.
