Wow. It's nice to see how the players feel about that. And, it's good, too.

But, it's impossible for me to pick one side (owners/GMs) over the other (players).

I like that clip.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

totally agree with you, formo. it truly is a business even though we as fans would like to believe it's all about comraderie, banter in the locker room, etc... it clearly isn't.

It WAS in the "old days", before these crazy salarys these guys get now. Players played for the LOVE of it, and most had to take summer jobs to make a living.

Yeah This reminds me of Ahman Green. We were not loyal to him, and he was a great player and teammate. He wanted to stay in GB, but the business drove him out.

Uh.....thats not really true. Green followed the money. He was offered a rediculous amount of money, and took it. I bet had he said "I'll play for 500 grand if i can stay in GB" he probably would have been able to stay here.
Green didn't want to stay here bad enough to turn down the bundle Houston offered him.
Not that i blame him. He would have been nuts to pass up all that free money.

Yeah I guess. I remember him saying he wanted to play in GB though. He is always going to be a packer in my heart 🙂

Oh, i agree! Green will always remain one of my favorite players! The times i got to meet him, he ALWAYS treated us fans well! Not all "star" players take the time for us "little people". Green ALWAYS did. I have his jersey and wear it proudly.

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
