The owners are business men who are used to dirty or underhanded business dealings. They tried to pull a fast one but thanks to people like Heath it ain't happening.
We'll have football and I want him back in the black and gold.

Because when he tweets "What the 'real' fans need to know" I am offended. This insinuates that I'm not fully aware of what's going on because what? I'm not a 'real' fan? I'm not a 'real' fan unless I side with the players?

Screw him.

I know precisely what's going on - as much as anyone can know who isn't directly involved...as much as I 'can' know. What I know:

The players are well paid
The players were well paid with the old agreement
The players will be well paid with the new agreement
The players will work less with the new agreement
The players will make more with the new agreement
The players, current and former, will be better taken care of, much better in many ways, with the new agreement

Here's what else I know. I know that what they don't like about what the owners have ratified has everything to do with a strategy they are already building up for the next CBA.

What else I know is, in spite of Heath and other players saying they are truly sorry that the HOF game was cancelled, the truth is they don't give a damn. They won't care one iota right up until they start missing game checks.

They don't care about Canton
They don't care about the Vendors
They don't care about the people who have already lost their jobs because of this mess

Heath needs to take his wife and daughter to Macys and Nordstrom this weekend. THAT'S what Heath cares about at the end of the day.

Screw him.
