I do take it personally...... I spend way to much time and money on this team and the NFL. I say F the players..................... If you dont like it go get a job that pays 65 grand a year in a non air conditioned cubicle and maybe then they will change their minds. I dont care what people say....millions to play a game......sorry i have no sympathy. Sign the contract

bitter much? you don't think these guys have rights to earn as much as they can? that's what 'merica is all about man. they wouldn't be fighting over all this money if you weren't spending it in the first place. if you really have a beef then stop buying nfl merch

Let's see if you can handle hitting people and being hit for a good portion of your life and waking up every Monday with bruises all over. Oh, and don't sleep through those boring team meetings, don't complain about the tedious rehab regiments should you blow a knee, and don't complain about the weather. And MOST CERTAINLY DON'T COMPLAIN about the psychological stress and pressure the fans and the media put on you.

Besides, players don't play in air conditioned workplaces unless its in a dome.

It is the owners that sit fat in the air conditioned owners box while the players are sweating on the field and putting theirs LIVES on the line in a very violent and dangerous game.
There are four NFL players that I know about that are now permanently quadriplegic from playing NFL football. Plus two, Thomas Herrion (49ers) and Korey Stringer (Vikings) that died immediately after walking off the football field from heat Stroke.
Not sure how many of your 65K cubicle co-workers were injured severely enough to end up quadriplegics or end up dieing from work related hazards?

Quite a number of people here and other places have done most of those things for........free in HS and College.

Go spend your money elsewhere then. Playing NFL football is high risk and not as much as reward as people believe. And it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Its clear a lot of people here don't think of these guys as human beings but just as pawns to entertain them.

I recognize the NFL players as human beings and I hope that they come back to the league, but if they are adamant about not playing this season, then let the owners use replacement players.

The sad thing is alot of these pro players have no education or any kind of practical skills outside of playing football. If they dont play, it's very sad but they will most likely be broke within a year or two...that is truly a sad thing.

I'm late to the party, so what did Vonnie do that pissed everyone off? And why are people generally pissed in this thread?

Man, the callers on NFL radio today are just clueless.

From the looks of it, it's not just callers on the radio Matty.
