delusions of grandeur Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 These entitlement stories are ridiculous... Once again, something has to be done because they're "too big to fail". What a load of crap... So when these establishments made profits from riding the NFL's coat-tails, was the NFL asking for profit-sharing? No, so if you're happy to exploit someone else's business for financial gain, then you can't whine when it isn't there to exploit. Don't get me wrong, I love the pressure on the NFL and NFLPA, but I look at this just the same as those parties bickering about money that was largely increased by the boom of fantasy football (something that is external to the NFL itself). I swear, everyone sees nothing but dollar signs when it comes to a very lucrative industry that they're all very fortunate to have happened to be a part of at a time when it greatly rose in popularity for largely external reasons... So NFL, get a dang deal done, and NYC, find other ways for revenue if the sport you were happy to exploit isn't available. :rantover: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Always fun to watch elected officials grandstanding while pissing away taxpayer money. So...he announces NOW that he is investigating the lockout...when both sides are self-proclaimed to be in the red zone and it is widely speculated that the lockout will be over by next Wednesday??? What a freaking tool...and after sitting on the sidelines for MONTHS this imbecile will pound his chest and tell people that HIS intervention ended the lockout...
