2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[Pre]

Looks like a lockout next year anyways.

Looks like a lockout next year anyways.

Sounded like they meant they'd play this upcoming season while the following season is definitely going to be locked out. That should be an awesome winter. I have to watch college football? Fuck.

[Internet Apex]

It won't get locked out. No Fuck Way.

[Chuck to Chuck]

It won't get locked out. No Fuck Way.

I have a friend who I see for lunch every month.  He's an exec with the NFLPA.  "Expect lockout" were his words last month.

Is English his second language?

And since Tonto is working for the NFLPA, and he's bad-mouthing the owners privately, this should be considered a foregone conclusion? I realize Chuck didn't say that, but what the fuck should we expect that guy to say?

Actually, he wasn't bad mouthing anyone.  He simply stated what his expectations were.

And his expectations were that the owners were not willing to work out a deal with the players and would simply lock them out and hurt their product inestimably? We get it. You have sources and they're all completely objective.

Yay.

"Bears promoted DL coach Rod Marinelli to defensive coordinator.
Marinelli, who was a defensive line coach in Tampa before his head coaching stint in Detroit and eventual move to Chicago, will call defensive plays for the first time in his career. The Bears decided to stay in-house after whiffing on Perry Fewell, who was their No. 1 target entering the offseason. Marinelli knows the Bears' Tampa-2 scheme as well as anyone, so he's a natural fit despite his inexperience from a play-calling standpoint. Feb. 5 - 4:25 pm et"

Who said objective?  Oh, yeah.  You.  Is it not possible to have a negative opinion that doesn't include bad mouthing?

I'd be mad about this if it surprised me or if I cared anymore.

The biggest issue isn't owners v. players it's owners v. owners.  Some want to keep the revenue sharing just the way it is (Packers, Bears, etc.) others want it to change dramatically (Cowboys, Redskins, etc.)

Until they agree there isn't going to be anything for the players and owners to negotiate about.
