It is very hard for me to feel sorry for theses guys.

I am a 18 year Army Vet. Just a list of my medical issues.

Right knee: 80% cartalidge GONE. Begining stages of athritus.
Left knee: bone grinding on bone. Arthritus.

Spine: L3, L4 and L5 disk all press on my syatic nerve.
Back muscle: Tore the muscle that goes from your butt to your middle back, darn near in half.

Right and Left Shoulders: both need rotator surgury.

I can't play with my kids too long because something is going to start hurting. The most pain is trying to get out of bed in the morning. I am only 38 years old.

Now, my wife doesn't blame the Army. She and I, understand that it's just part of the job. Some may say, "Well, you get doctors care when you retire". Yes, I do. Until I am dead and in the grave. However, I, just like every Soldier out there; doesn't make $150,000 to $1 million plus a year.

So, dear Ms Fujita...... stop your whining. Stop living like you have a money tree and oh yeah.....Scott left US for MORE MONEY! Sorry all he got from the New Orleans Saints was the megar honor of being a SuperBowl Champion. (MiddleFinger)

whoa, sapper, i had not idea you were that young. wow. I got sciatica, and that sh** hurts.

Obviously, some are going to feel the need to reach out for public sympathy. This is the dumbest thing they could possibly do, and it would play straight into the hands of the owners.

At this point, I already sympathize with the average player. I know what its like to run till you puke, to break bones, and to study and work out and practice, and not get enough sleep. I know what its like to deal with pain every day. I'm 46. At this point, I like the players, they're still my heroes, and I'm willing to ignore whatever happens in this labor deal, so I can continue to like them. (This is your season ticket holder talking.)

I also sympathize with Tom Benson. I know what its like to be poor. I know what its like to sweep floors, and do menial work all hours of the day, trying to make something of yourself. Nobody handed this guy a silver spoon, and he didnt just wake up with a money tree in his yard. He worked his a** off. And then he invested in the NFL scheme.

Players, I dont know how much you make, and I dont care. I do care that your future is secure, and that you will be taken care of when you're old, although the responsibility for that is actually yours. I spend a lot of money to watch you play, a lot of time following the game, and buy lots of stuff, which in turn pays you. Im not your boss, and I dont even consider myself a "customer," but you are, in fact, rich, because of people like me. Because we care. Ask minor league hockey players if its good that people care.

The dumbest thing you can do is anything that will villify EITHER side in this. The propaganda you preach will outlast the dispute itselt, and serve only to damage the game as a whole.

The smartest thing you can do is smile and STFU. At this point, you're on top. Even if you lose this, you're still gonna win. Dont blow it.

And Honeybadger dont give a sh**.

Her hardships are real, from a real place and inside she is hurting more than any wounded warrior could ever comprehend. Maybe her battle scars can't be seen on her body or in her checking account but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Wherever they do exist though, I want to go there and shake her like a paint shaking machine until she comes back to where everyone else exist.
