HERSCHEL WALKER WILLING TO TRY FOOTBALL AGAIN AT AGE 48
Guess he has to find a team dumb enough to give him the shot first....calling Dallas...calling Dallas!
"Because I want to be the George Foreman of football and come back and do that one more time
The former NFL star says there is no doubt in his mind he could play football today. And if asked, he would listen.

In somewhat funny news, Drew Rosenhaus' twitter account got hacked today and started spamming diet ads.

He wasn't that good last time he played. How does he think he will be good now?

His appearance on Pros vs Joes. He ran circles around those Joes. So of course in his mind that translates to being a Pro Bowl player in the NFL at the age of 48.

Tambi Hali of the Kansas City Chiefs was able to lead the AFC in sacks with two torn shoulders.

He pointed to his right shoulder, which he said had a tear in it. Then to his left shoulder, which he said had a partial tear in it, too. Then to a foot, which also had a torn muscle in it.

Roger Goodal volunteers that he will only_make_$1 if there is a lockout.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will cut his salary to $1 if there is a work stoppage after the collective bargaining agreement expires in March.
In case you want to know he makes about 10 million a year with bonuses, claims he'll also delay any bonus payments until after a new deal is settled.
What he doesn't tell us is how much of a bonus or increase in salary he'll receive if he manages to bend over the players and get an even sweeter deal for the owners.
NFLPA communications director Carl Francis was not impressed by Goodell's memo.
"I have been around long enough to know that this decision is irrelevant to the process," Francis said. "He should also guarantee there won't be a lockout."
Gotta go with the PA guy here, this is nothing more than optics, although it's not like DeMaurice Smith and his crew are guaranteeing no lockout either.

By definition the players have no control over a lockout. They can strike or not. But the players have said they want things to stay exactly as they are this year - no cap - and want to play. That is why they when through all those decertification votes; to try and portray that is isn't the NFL vs NFLPA, it is the NFL vs a bunch of players. Although that is a sham, it just shows how the rhetoric and the PR war is growing.

DeMaurice Smith tweeted that he would cut his wage to $0.68 if a new agreement was reached.

...before the Superbowl.
No word on what he would get paid if there wasn't a deal done in the next 10 days

Hadn't seen this posted. Former Titans/Current Vikings QB coach wouldn't mind VY in in purple next season:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...e-young-clear/
I just think it's weird that he gets along with Young and believes in him while his former boss found every opportunity to bench him.

I agree that Cromartie responded like an ass, but Hasselbeck should have never posted what he did, or manned up and left it up (he took it down in a matter of minutes). Then he issues an apology to Cromartie and tries to play it off like he was joking. Hasselbeck comes off looking like an ass too.
I am glad Cromartie is calling out both sides. If he is sincere in what he says then he is looking out for the non-players in this who are going to be unemployed and don't have millions to fall back on.

as an NFL player, my guess is you dont want Cromartie spouting off whether it is true or no, i dont think he can even read or write, there are well spoken and intelligent NFL players who can get their point across much better than a moron like Cromartie

Obviously you don't get that Cromartie isn't taking the players side. He is stating his opinion that the Union and league aren't doing a good enough job. He's calling out both sides.
