an apology

[swarm]

This isn't easy to do. You've been angry for a long time. I've been angry at you too. I don't feel good about the things I've said behind your back the last several months. How you don't care. How this game means more to me than it means to you. How you're just a bunch of complainers unhappy no matter what the deal is. But all that is behind us. I'm sorry. There, I said it. I'M SORRY! I'm sorry I doubted you. I'm sorry I said you wouldn't be here week 1. But dammit, it's week 1 of the pre-season and here you are only a few hours away from my big screen TV screen ------ how could I let that little lock out nonsense ruin a good thing? I can't --- I LOVE YOU NFL!

Welcome back, old friend.

I am ready. For some FOOTBALL.

GAME ON!

Much easier to forgive the NFL for this lockout when we consider that the only game we ended up missing was the Hall of Fame Game. Now, had we gone into October with no football....

Yeah, but the HOF Game is the one where all the money go to the retired players
