NFL Week 2: Damned activist judges

It is that small amount and refs wanting to keep pension while owners want to switch to 401k

Well, I can understand why the refs wouldn't accept a 401k, given that all stocks are inherently worthless.  I'm surprised that I'm siding with a union, but these are the times we live in.

More crying lol

Frozen Wetbacks would have lost to just four other teams besides Fighting Nixons this week.

I knew that Week 1 was just an anomaly.  It looks like the LFFL won't have the Fighting Nixons to kick around anymore, except during bye weeks.

  Funny as balls.

Was that from the game where Ray blasted his hat off in the end zone?

No, that was a day game.  The YouTube vid looks like it was a night game, probably the Monday Night opener from 2008.

Yeah, the Bengals were in their whites for that game.

I've been hearing rumours that the dollar amount that has them seperated is $2 million or so, which I find to be incredible.  There are kickers who make more than that.  Steve Bischotti could fire Cam Cameron and his salary would make up the difference.

The NFL has to be worried about setting a precedent for when they deal with the players' union, don't they? Otherwise quibbling over $2 milliom is just insanity.

Ah.  Good news.  Reliant will be using artificial turf for non-NFL football games now in order to keep the natural surface from being so torn up the day before Texans games:

Hopefully at some point they will just end up using it for Texans games as well, instead of the "tray" system (you can see the different trays in the article image).

Damn, had the 4th most points and I still lost.

I almost miss Chad sometimes.  Glad the Bengals parted ways with him when they did, though.

Better than most prima donnas, but could've been so much better than he already was with the right attitude.

In his heyday he was spectacular.  But he ceased to be a legit #1 receiver before the Bengals realized, but that was attitude-related-- he still had great hands but refused to run after the catch and would just flop down if he ever caught one over the middle.  I guess that's sort of understandable given that he had to play against AFC North defenses.
