Hey! Make sure you don't disrespect the Shreveport Pirates! I was President of the official fan club, The Armada. The Pirates even have an entry in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Those were three awesome years. I met many very good people in the game and will never forget any of it. To this day I have many unique Pirate memorabilia including a CFL football signed by Forrest Gregg, the NFL great, who was the coach.

Hilarious...we are being a headache for them?? Ummm last time I checked, they are the ones who blew this all out of proportion and made it the spectacle it is today.

They started the fight, not us. If we didn't bow to mother nature, what makes the NFL think we will bow to them? They clearly underestimated our perseverance!

If that stat's true, then it's very interesting. EXTREMELY similar to the types of numbers at the beginning of the decline in baseball 15-20 years ago, the beginning of the slide in popularity for the sport.

John Clayton has the NFLs biggest head.

Boy, it's too bad we're an inconvenience to Der Fuhrer's little dictatorship. Suits me if the players involved & the NFLPA bring a hundred more lawsuits against the league and Goodell.

I don't want the SOB to sleep a wink, and the way his conscience SHOULD be bothering him, I don't see how he can.
