Archie Manning: No NFL Regular Season Games Will Be Missed in 2011

06-14-2011, 07:48 PM

NEW ORLEANS - While NFL players continue to be locked out of team facilities since March 12, fans are starting to either get mad at the perceived greed of billionaires and millionaires or become greatly concerned about the 2011 season.

Speaking on "The Three Tailgaters" radio show (WGSO, 990am New Orleans) on which he appears 30 Saturday mornings during each year, Archie Manning, who played in the league from 1971-1984 and has a pair of Super Bowl champion sons in the league now, said that fans will ultimately get what they want, and not something less like the reported 8-game regular season plan floated this week.

"We'll play football. I really don't think they're going to miss any games. It may be a week or two late," Manning said. "I don't really know what's going on there. I keep saying simply that they can't screw this up, owners, players. We've got to have a football season. I think good sense will prevail here."

This kind of reminds me of some players who guarantee a victory......not that there's anything wrong with that.
