Put Me In Coach

It has been the talk of the offseason.
The NFL CBA.
Someone asked me how I feel about it.
In a word??
Pissed.
This should have been decided long ago.
Players are asking for too much, and the people most negatively effected are the fans, who happen to pay for both owners and players, and without whom these people on BOTH sides of the talks would be unemployed.
What is truly needed in these talks is the FAN perspective as well. Because, lets face it, we are just as impacted by this as the owners and players, since we will be paying for these new agreements through ticket sales, merchandise, and concessions.
Seriously, the league minimum is in the range of $300,000 dollars a year.
I'll play CB/WR iron man football and get crushed by Reed for that amount.
Sign my ass up. One season and I don't have to work for almost TEN FUCKING YEARS.
Perspective, boys, that's all I'm asking for, OK?
Better men have done this job for much less and weren't primadonnas about it. Rod Smith. Ed McCaffrey. Jason Elam.
Players, man, men who loved the game, not the bling.
So, to the NFLPA.....unions are an idea of the past.
For the whiny bitch players that think they deserve a few more millions.
Grow the fuck up. And in some cases, learn the damned basics. Fundamentals. T.O., I'm looking at you, McDropperson.
Let's get this circus BS over with and get the season started.
And, yo, Bucs. Y'all need some help on WR or CB?
Put me in coach. I've seen Invincible. Let's do this shit.
But you gotta trade me to my Broncos in the offseason. Cause even I know the Buccaneers aren't where I'd wanna play.
Might have to pull a Plummer on ya if you try to keep me more than a season.

Thoughts, comments, arguments?

Nothing you know is true.

You all know I'm a pretty well read guy. Like my little brother, I LOVE reading. (He says he got it from me. I think he got the love of writing from me. Reading came from mom and dad). He and I also share another love, which he blogged about months ago on his 47 Echo blog.

I love fiction novels and books about historical events/people, but one of my favorite things to read about falls somewhere in the middle.

I'm a conspiracy theory nut. I don't believe in any of them, but I LOVE reading about them.

I have biographies on Billy the Kid. And then I have books stating Pat Garrett killed someone else.

I have every biography written about Amelia Earhart, and all three of the books she wrote.
I have even MORE books about how the Japanese shot her down, how she was an espionage agent, who she secretly flew to ANOTHER island and died in NJ in the 80s.

I have books by and about every member of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo crews.
And I have books stating we never went to the moon.

I have books on JFK and Oswald. Yeah....you know where THAT's going. Jim Garrison ring a bell? Got his books too.

I have volumes written about Lockheed and DARPA. Then I have Area51 books almost as numerous.

Did you know the Wright Brothers weren't the first to fly a heavier than air powered sustainable flight aircraft? Got books that prove it. Or say they do.

Bigfoot, Nessie, Champ, King Arthur. Fact or fiction?

9/11....let's not touch that one, shall we?

Now, I know what you're thinking.....We already knew you were nuts, but didn't know you liked to dance around the house in just a tin-foil hat.
(And if you didn't think that...I'm sorry for the visual image...but you shouldn't have wired the house with webcams ;) )

If you believe everything you read in conspiracy writings, than nothing you know is true. Nothing. Look at your neighbor. Alien. Boss? Genetic Hybrid. That's not JUST a light pole outside, that's a high-def camera and recording device as well.

So, why do I love my Conspiracy Theories??

Easy. I'm a fiction writer. I love looking at things from a different viewpoint, and Conspiracy Theories definitely do that.

So, what about you all, do you like Conspiracy Theories?? And if so, which is your favorite? My favorites are the ones that deal with Amelia Earhart. I know they're complete bunk, but they'd make for a fun fictionalization, and are a great "What If?".

And, after all, isn't that the point?
