Just curious...would we already have a deal if Gene Upshaw were still alive?

I mean, Smith has been talking about a lockout since at least May of 2010.

There was a bunch made of the fact that he was an attorney and not a former player...I'm beginning to think that is not helping things here.

Many people have said yes but I think the owners are always inclined toward maximum greed. -- nm - David Jun 30, 11:38 1
