Nice way to cherry pick. Sorry, I don't feel like going through and finding the stupid comments made about the owners side also. I'd rather talk football.

Lots of stupid things were said by both sides. Let it go dude. Let it go. /facepalm

Exactly.....time to move on to...........FREE AGENCY!

So it seems that while free agency can't happen officially until Friday, trades can be fully and officially completed starting tomorrow.

Well said. Time to turn the page.

Gotta say, it's so awesome to turn on NFLN and see some real football talk.

What was the latest rule?
We can start signing our own FA's at 10:00 am today?

My final words on the past four months or so - Lots done wrong by both sides both from a PR standpoint and from a pushing the edge of legal in the various court matters. Negotiations were incredibly tough because, whether deserved or undeserved, the players just didn't trust the owners. It looks like the end result was a good one, one that gave each side some of their key points and didn't give either side a full-on "win". Ultimately, the fans get 10 years of not having to listen about labor disputes and the game, as we know it, in terms of its structure and player movement is preserved.

I guess what I am trying to say is that, despite all the bitching along the way, a really good result happened and now football is back and going strong! On top of all that, not one regular season game was lost!

Boom Baby!!

That's a victory for the league but honestly I think they need to look at examining the drug policy a little bit more. HGH has been known to help heal players faster and when I think of guys like Santana Moss, who got involved with Doctor Galea from Canada, and how they'd probably be suspended for this new policy, I don't think it's fair.

I know it'd be incredibly hard to police who's taking HGH for a competitive edge and who took a small increment of HGH to recover from an injury faster, but that's the way it should be IMO. I'm against players that take hgh just to get that edge, but I think it should be allowed in very small doses as part of recovery treatment for an injury, similar to the way Galea was using it.

If HGH is safe and it's only benefit is to help players heal quicker from injury why isn't it standard for NFL players to be given the drug when coming back from injuries?
