Josh stir up BS with fans of another team? I don't believe it....Josh is a wonderful, kind, decent man who is full of integrity. I can't believe he would say something, anything, that would make somebody uncomfortable or upset, especially when you imply that he would do it purposefully.

Jones then proceeded to drain the land of all reasources, and then convinced the same CEO to buy the drilling rights back at a 110% profit for JJ

only after all this was it discovered that the CEO was also an employee of company owned by Jerry Jones, which is a direct conflict of interest and illegal by the boards by laws if not federal and state regulations

anyway his kin folks said Jerry move away from there, so he loaded up his truck and he moved to Valley Ranch. Where he has single handedly laid the ground work to destroy the NFL by the year 2011 which is the final year the NFL has rules for an NFL draft.

No way he or anybody in the NFL eliminates the draft.

Both Stealerrules and Rich busted my chops for two weeks over Vince Young being a bust and even admitted to doing it just to get under my skin. I honestly think the Steelers gambling ties are a problem.

hidden in the lack of a CBA is the fact that the NFL and NFLPA agreement to hold an NFL draft ends in 2011

with no new CBA the draft would not exist

ordinarily I would agree with you guys but with TWO new leagues vying to start the NFLPA would be smart to have at least one year with out a draft

it would make EVERY incoming college senior free agents able to shop themselves freely to all three leagues

Jimmy Clausen was the most sought after high school QB in 20 years, than 4 years as a starter and over TV exposure at Notre Dame, and he comes out to no draft just free bidding on a QB that was 6'3 210 pounds in high school?

Joe McKnight was a 6'1 200 pound high school tailback USC recruited because he had the speed of Reggie Bush and the power of LenDale White. Advance four years and probably at least one national championship later in the premier pro fotball factory in the nation?

These two kids alone could net RECORD breaking professional sports salaries as rookies in that market. Salaries CC Sabathia and ARod would say OH DAMN too.

So if they pay a rookie 300 million, what are they going to say when Eli Manning and his two Super Rings (if not more) wants $600?

at to that the fact the NFL is trying to CAP rookie salaries and the NFLPA has NO reason to want the draft to happen

Jerry Jones pulled all these things because he wanted to be able to gaurantee a championship the first year in his new stadium.

But the only force in pro sports more powerful than him is going to use it to kick the ceiling down on players contracts.

Or how about when Steelers QB O'Donnel threw it straight to Larry Brown....twice...in one game to lose the SB. Man that had to hurt.
