We have a responsibility to our players - past, present, and future, to advance this league forward, not take 3 steps back.

They refuse to give that information to us. They think we should just trust them. Would you?

The NFL brought this fight to us - they want $1 billion back, we just want financial information to back up that request

I don't like propaganda Drew. It's so unbecoming.

That's good enough for me.

Sadly, the owners seem to be the ones doing the foot dragging.

I respect the hell out of Drew, but honestly I do not care which side gets the "better" deal. I do not care about the fairness of the deal. The only thing I want is to be able to watch games and have an interest.

I don't doubt that Drew is telling the truth about their efforts, but their goal does not mean a thing to me.

Love Drew but don't like the quote. He's not saying that he's concerned about the fans. He's implying that if they don't get what they want then it doesn't matter when or if the season starts.

I love Drew Brees but frankly I would be happy if he kept his fricking twitter closed during this crap. Shut up dude, both sides are money grubbing whores so don't try and act like the players are all Holy

If anyone of us average joes asked our boss to look at his books we would be laughed out of a job. I am with the owners on this one. Unions are turrible!!!

The players may have a gripe...However, when i make what i make, I really don't give a shite about how someone makes 400-500k as a base and they need more. I don't care about the flipping owners who don't want to concede too much. The NFL exists because the working man enjoys a distraction from everyday job bullshite. Bring in the scabs.
