Are You Kidding Me?

I was listening to the recent Rich Eisen Podcast and he and his pals, Kara Henderson and Michael Lombardi, were defending the casual attitude of the owners and players in the labor negotiations. Lombardi would never criticize the league or the owners. Some were his boss. He was a suit and still is. He is way to biased to even regard. Henderson is merely reporting with little to no agenda. Eisen simply sounded frustrated and worried. He sounded like a fan. They all struck me as the employees of the NFL that they are. No room for criticism when there was a room full of reasons to criticize. They even went so far as to criticize Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio for being very critical of both parties. I agree with Florio. Both sides have left themselves wide open for criticism. They have looked to the courts to make decisions for them. Over 100 days of dancing around each other. Only a handful of days with face to face meetings. Never truly working toward a solution. Only once have they worked into the night. They have just been way too casual. It's pathetic and well worth any and all criticism.
