For those of you NFL fans out there, enjoy it now. At Midnight ET tonight, the current CBA expires, which means 2007 will be an uncapped season. So all the free agents hitting the market are going to be demanding redonkulous salaries, which is going to result in a lockout in 2008. As much as I love the NFL, I have to say that this ____es me off beyond belief. I'm sorry, but NOBODY needs to be paid 5 million dollars a year to play a game that they "love." Douchebags like Terrell Owens need a kick in the junk for demanding money like this. I thought the NFL would learn from the NHL's mistakes, but apparently not.

P.S.--ESPN.com has a great FAQ section regarding this issue for more detail.

 

i agree... teachers, in my opionion the most importnant job in our society, get paid ____, even doctors saving lives aren't paid as much as these guys who get to play a freakin game for income. i love the nfl as well (go panthers) but its an ireversable trend that our pro athletes are basicly worshiped for thier talents
