Re: Ongoing CBA discussions

Slingin Sammy,

I'm with you on the fact that just about everyone watched the NFL even when the first strike occurred. Don't get me wrong there were people who complained about the play on the field but for me as long as the talent level was all the same it was just as good.

You guys watch college games, why? because the talent level is roughly the same and the money is not getting in the way of the play. I don't think I've ever heard fans here complaining about a college game claiming their scabs.... because thats where our scabs are going to come from. Atleast the majority will. People act like the teams doors are going to be open for players that have no talent at all ie; the couch potato.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions

NC_Skins, this is just one fan's view, but I'm a fan of the Redskins first and foremost. Don't get me wrong I like the players in the NFL, but would I care if the Skins had to bring in scabs while the NFLPA sat out? Nope. I don't watch the NFL or the Skins because of the players, I watch it because of the game. Only a small percentage of fans watch the game for the players, the majority of NFL fans are loyal to a team above everything else.

Do you remember the scab games from '87? They were pretty bad. Watching Joe the truck driver playing QB is no fun.

Trust me, whether you realize it or not, you watch the NFL because it offers the best talent and therefore the highest level of competition. Talent does matter.

Precisely. This is why I am more rabid for the NFL than I am for the college game.

Yeah but it was pretty fun watching our scabs beat The Dallas Cowboys' starters.

Actually, watching our truck drivers beat the Cowboys' normal stars was great.



Ed Rubbert at QB, led the NFL in passing in weeks 3 and 4!

Action starts at about 9:30 when our guys strip Tony Dorsett of the ball.

#16 Rubbert...idea for a custom jersey!



beat

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions

^ Game, set, match.

This is exactly how I feel. I'm a team fan. Players come and go but I'm loyal to the team. Maybe getting rid of the CBA or changing it will enable teams to keep their draft picks longer and force teams to develope talent vs looking at other teams cast offs.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions

Funny how this thread mirrors the real life situation. A lot of half informed opinions and misdirected anger. Good job boys.

Since the CBA discussions are over so is this thread.

This says it all:
"Negotiations are business, but these became personal."

I run into this crap everyday at work. People need to understand business is not personal. Everyone is trying to get a bigger piece of the pie, because they are greedy -- not because they hate you.
