Man this lockout has us all going crazy. I'll be glad when it's over.

The free agent suits along with these franchise tag law suits set the ground work for the current negotiations and agreement. When/if the suits settle, the rulings will negate or uphold past and new agreement details. If the agreement comes first, pressure will increase for Drew/Manning and the other plantiffs to drop their suit to allow the CBA to stand. These suits are not just about Drew and the other named players, these rulings will set a precedent for all future players that face the same issue and will shape mgmt/player negotiations going forward. The players feel that being franchise tagged, puts them at a disadvantage. Owners love the tag - they can play games with the money, shuffle a few contracts around and avoid cap troubles until next season. Players hate it - it postpones potential paydays that could easily be affected by injury in the current tagged season. Drew is in the catbird seat. He's not going anywhere. At least I hope not.

Ya'll are all nuts! I'm not buying that Drew and Sean are on their way out. Stop giving me things to worry about! Where's FF's weird cat pics now?!

As far as Sean and Drew leaving to go coach/play at Big D.....

I can give you first hand knowledge about how a REAL, TRUE, competitive coach thinks.

1. He wants to win.

2. He wants to bring a team from nothing into someting.

3. He wants to be challenged.

4. He always is looking for the next challenge.

Sean has taken a team from nothing and won a SuperBowl. Almost made it to the big dance twice, and has a great shot to do it again this year.

Winning the same ole way; believe it or not, can get boring. Those types of Coaches want harder challenges. Think about it... he became the head coach of a team that was is shambles, homeless, HISTORY OF LOSING, and rumors of moving to another city.

How many of you would take a job like that?

So, LB's way of thinking is really not that far off.

Let's look at Dallas for a second.

1. He came from there

2. He just moved back there

3. JJ can throw more money at him than anyone else

4. Dallas hasn't been a contender since Troy Akin

5. Strato likes Texas Blues

6. Romo is not the answer, As much as they want him to be an elete QB, he never will be.

7. Sean and Drew have a pretty strong Bromance. Drew and Sean have a plan. We just don't know it.

Not really ... want the pdf?

I'm sorry Ron.

Here's the "Cliff Notes" version.

We have too much time on our hands and nothing worth a crap to talk about during this lock out!

I don't have the room on my hard drive.

Where did the Brees/Payton to Dallas stuff come from? I thought that had been put to rest a while ago? This might be the biggest overreaction thread I've ever seen on this board.

Yeah I'd expect that "over there" not here
