Yours was a real gem too.scaredsensfan said:Congrats on your best post ever!
The Iconoclast said:You're freaking kidding me? How many players have said so many "nice" thinkgs about the city they are playing in, and how great the fans are, then turn tail and leave in a blink of an eye when a better deal comes up? Yeah, they're in it for the fans. The loyalty they show to the cities and the fans are just proof of that. And that's why the players keep milking more and more money out of the teams and why they hold out at the drop of a hat. The players are pro-fan? What a joke.

Yep, players should care about fans like the ones on this thread. Cynical, often hateful, fans who can only demean the player's talents and jealously begrudge them their large salaries.
Oh yeah! Deserving of a lot of love!
Ziggy Stardust said:Kind of like the love Ziggy Palffy showed to the fans and the Islanders organization during his lockout?
Or Alexei Yashin's antics?
I certainly appreciate their integrity.

So the owners have every right to make better business choices but the players dont?
The Iconoclast said:Get serious. Who said the owners were pro-fan. No one is pro-fan. Both are out to make as much money as they possibly can and put the screws to the fans. No one gets to claim they fan friendly in this instance, because neither side is.
Trottier said:Here's a clue: The players owe you and me one thing. An honest, hard night's effort when we pay for a ticket. Solid entertainment.
They owe us nothing more.
...Including dictating their PROFESSIONAL CAREER DECISIONS on what makes a self-important fool on a message board happy. You or I may not have like the decisions made by Yashin (especially) or Palffy. But is the suggestion that these guys should be basing their livelihoods in any way whatsoever on what makes us happiest?
Would you base your family's economic security on making happy the drunk in Section 303 waving an oversized foam finger?
This really needs to be explained?

At halftime:
Patriots 24
Steelers 3
League better disperse some of New England's players to the other sideline. You know, to "even out" the talent.
txomisc said:no way the patriots have won again? that is not possible since a salary cap prevents teams like the patriots. clearly that did not happen
CarlRacki said:So when Jaromir Jagr or Alexei Kovalev float for a night, can we fans demand a refund from their substantial per-game-salary?
Rhetorical question, but on this board, nothing should be assumed, so I'll reply. Demand a refund? Of course not. It's the risk you take. Buyer beware. However, no one is holding a gun to your head to purchase future tickets or even buy the NHL TV package.
p.s. Not everyone who disputes what the PA does, believe its members have made stupid comments and believe they receive overinflated salaries hates the players.
Which is why I boldfaced "some" multiple times. Nice try though!
no doubt! the patriots actually went 3-13 this yearCarlRacki said:Must be a mistake. The salary cap forced the Patriots to break up their team for years ago. and it obviously prevented them from adding an all-pro running back in the off-season. Corey Dillon is just an illusion.
