Your 2011-12 NFL Thread: Lock Out Fever, Catch It!

[Brownie]

We're reportedly drawing ever closer to the day when we can finally give SKO his belt and shoelaces back...

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/15231374/nfl-source-labor-negotiations-8085-percent-complete/

One source with intimate knowledge of the discussions tells me negotiations are 80-85 percent complete. They've made such fast progress, I'm told, it's catching many of the principals by surprise. Some are now canceling vacations, believing an agreement will be reached within a matter of days.

Indeed. Things are looking most optimistic. Either way, the important thing is that the CFL preseason kicks off tonight as my personal friend Smilin' Hank Burris leads his Calgary Stampeders into action against the Big Cheyenne Lions .

The opening night of the CFL takes place the same night as Game 7 of a Stanley Cup Finals in which a Canadian team has the chance to win the Cup for the first time in almost 20 years?

Nice choice Jim.

It's not like Gary Bettman was involved in this. Then you know there wouldn't be a conflict.

Hell, even Michael Buble canceled his show tonight. He gets it.

Jay Cutler's knee is a pussy and now his marriage is canceled probably because he's afraid of playing on a busted knee and his now ex-fiancee finally figured out that he's a loser and a quitter and she didn't like that about him so she's probably in a parking lot burning a Cutler jersey because at least Steve Walsh cared and patted his teammates on the ass when they needed a good pick me up I bet he's still married. Go Bears.

How many places did you post this exact same thing so I can read it a few more times?

Yeti played football in high school, just like Jay Cutler did.

What I did was I laughed.

Supposedly Cutler dumped her because he couldn't deal with all of the "hoopla." Why's Jay so wary of media attention?

What else did Godboy have to say about it?

Not surprising that he couldn't handle the hoopla. He can't handle pain or NFL defenses or haircuts or living life without smirking and pouting all the time.
