Anger or Truth?

27 September 2010

This has surely been an interesting week full of dialog on Dave’s Blog. In the end, no one would disagree that there are many points of view and opinions on how to solve the problem.

Think of it this way:  Do you think you’ll be seeing any open discussions like this at either the NFL OR NFLPA’s websites any time in the future?
