Yeah, I know its a little lengthy. Kind of hard to read the whole thing huh? The guy should have added pretty pictures.

Great article, it'd be nice to think this message was heard but the cynic in me says that's likely not the case...if it was I doubt the NFL would be in the situation it's in today. I'm not saying the players are necessarily right in this whole dispute, but the writer makes a great point that many teams are building ridiculously unnecessary monuments in a time of great economic downturn and then turning around saying they need a bigger cut of revenues to stay afloat - definitely hypocritical at best.
Oh, and sorry if my comments are too long for some of you - I know reading something that takes more than 1 minute is really hard.
BURN!

seriously I dont read stuff that long but that was really worth the read. Every hardcore fan, player, coach, and NFL employee should read this. This was really a very well worded article he wrote. This guy is right on the dime and it is funny I read this because I was just sitting here thinking "Man I sure have not had any desire for football lately and feel like I lost some love for the game". I am a very hardcore fan and very emotional/passionate about the game and my niners. Something better get done because if there is no football this season there is going to be some big changes fan wise (even though there already is some but it will magnify 10 fold).
For all those who didnt read I feel you made a mistake.

It's pathetic how people come to a message board, but are too lazy to read things longer than 2 sentences.
Great article.

On the other hand if Jerry Jones can get people to pay $75 a game to park and the lot is full more power to him. Supply and demand, a prudent business man will raise prices to the tipping point where he starts to lose market share. Until people stop buying the prices will continue to escalate, blame the consumer, not Jerry Jones.

I think the realization of the bolded is what really hit home for me and will eventually get to many of the "hardcore" fans. Why go through all of the emotion, stress, and even time cause I could be doing something else with my family, when these greedy b*****ds don't really give a chit?!?!
