I just don't get how can coaches sit idly and not be able to sign free agents, start OTAs, and eventually start training camp.

Our FO made a huge deal (and rightfully so) about Haynesworth not coming to OTAs, and now the owners are basically saying: screw you, we don't care about OTAs or training camp because we want to maintain this lockout.

It seems that 1 billion dollars is amount of money that will make owners purposefully screw up their teams performance for next season.

Then after the responce have the same reporter go up to Breese/Players Association and ask "why they left the table talks 6 hrs early instead of staying and trying to work out an agreement?"

ask them "why they feel the need to capitalize on 60% of the income instead of simply being fair and taking 50%?"

Why is it people only want to get mad at the owners and not the players for decertifying? You all do realize that because the players decertified the owners were pretty much forced to lockout to protect themselves.
