New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees
"Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, (for more regular season games)knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper (and the National Football League), but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much."
Nevertheless, the cheap NFL hats owners and Joe Beerbelly subscribe to the Gordon Gekko philosophy of life:
Iyer adds "More Isn't Necessarily Better. The NFL has moved along just fine with a 16-game schedule for 32 years, and now with 32 teams the schedule has a nice even balance. Even though games are played in only six months, free agency, the draft, spring practices, mini-camps and training camp already make it a virtual year-round sport. "The talent" is what makes the sport great, and putting it more at risk isn't worth it."
"Then you're looking back at the same issue you had in the preseason," said former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, now a CBS analyst."
"More meaningless games. Last season, the Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers and wholesale Saints jersey all won their divisions by at least four games. A top team such as Indianapolis could rest players for an entire month or a bad team could be just playing out a long string in a lost season," writes Iyer.
Vinnie Iyer of Sporting News made cited two additional concerns regarding an 18-game regular season:
So, if you shorten the pre-season to two games does Ivory make the final cut? Peyton Manning shared a similar concern saying that many current Colts free agents would not be around today without the benefit of four pre-season games.
On Friday night, free agent long-shot Chris Ivory likely made the team with a dazzling 76-yard catch-and-run that likely brought Joe Beerbelly to his feet. This came in the Saints third preseason game.
"You ask these linemen and everybody else how their bodies feel at the end of the season. It takes them months to get back healthy again," says Brees. "So you talk about adding two more meaningful games. That's a lot of pounding on the body. That takes years off guys' careers and probably takes years off their life too."
Brees suggested the idea is not a popular one with whoelsale NFL jersey players he has spoken with.
"So, when you talk about adding games, you've got to talk about those four things and say 'what kind of benefit are the players getting in order for (18 games) to happen," says Brees.
"The season being 16 games is already very, very long," Brees told reporters. "It's not just a matter of adding two more games...you got to take a look at how does that affect salary. How does that affect medical benefits post career. How does that affect off-season. How does that affect preseason.
Says Brees, "Do you know the toll that that's going to take on guys bodies?"
While your average beer belly in the cheap seats has an unquenchable thirst for two more regular season games...More, More, More!!!!...16 games ain't enough, Rocky!...it is the players who will endure the additional physical punishment resulting from an extended regular season schedule.
Brees made the comment following the New Orleans Saints 36-21 victory over the San Diego Chargers at the Louisiana Superdome. The idea of two added regular season games beginning in 2012 seems to be gaining rapid momentum as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL owners worked towards its implementation earlier in the month in Atlanta.
New Orleans Saints QB cheap Drew Brees jersey stated his staunch opposition to the proposed 18-game regular season schedule Friday night saying that it will "take years off guy's careers and probably years off their life too."

Warner is learning how to use a Mac
Still, coach Ken Whisenhunt has to be concerned that his first offense, with Leinart at the controls, has just four first downs and no points through two preseason games, with the former first-round pick -- 10th overall in 2006 -- hitting 10 of his 13 passes for just 67 yards. Against the Titans, Leinart's three series were all three-and-outs
Disclaimer:cheap Larry Fitzgerald jerseys did not play against the Titans and caught just one pass the week before against Houston.
Unfortunately, wholesale Cardinals jerseys fans do. The finality of Warner's exit -- unlike a certain other middle-aged QB headed for Canton and in the news these days -- is not in question. That has to be a troubling thought heading into 2010 as both Leinart and Derek Anderson, who signed as a free agent via Cleveland, have struggled to make things happen in the passing game.
OK, y'all... I am watching game... I am not coming back... and I would still appreciate your help! LOL, sorry guys, u know def of 'retire'?
Apparetly, at least one eye (and ear) were directed at the television.
Warner, who retired during the offseason after leading Arizona to a second straight NFC West title, was playing around on Twitter earlier in the evening, asking friends for help with iMovie in trying to splice together some clips from a speech.
As in, no points for the starting unit for the second straight week.
Make that not doing.
While the Warner-less Arizona Cardinals were flailing away on offense during their 24-10 preseason road loss at Tennessee, the ESPN "Monday Night Football" crew couldn't help but wonder whether the former Cards star and two-time NFL Most Valuable Player was watching -- or cringing -- at what cheap Matt Leinart jerseys and the rest of the Arizona offensive unit was doing.

Greatest Class of All-Time
On Saturday evening, seven new NFL hats legends took center stage at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio for enshrinement into the league's Hall of Fame.
Those seven legends, who I am presenting to you in this slide show, are Rickey Jackson, Russ Grimm, John Randle, Emmitt Smith, Dick LeBeau, Floyd Little, and Jerry Rice. Together they comprise one of, if not the best, Hall of Fame classes ever.
Watching each inductee give their speech and take their place among the previously enshrined players I get goose bumps all over.
When I was younger, I remember dreaming about being one of the greatest football players of all time.
Even though physical limitations put that dream out of reach, I grew up with football. The sport is a huge part of my life and every Sunday spent watching football games has made my life that much more enjoyable—especially when I got to watch truly special players like the seven listed above.
The Hall of Fame is a place where each player, coach, or contributor enshrined within has contributed something so great to the sport they are considered among the greatest of all time.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame opened in 1963 with 17 inductees: Sammy Baugh, Bert Bell, Joseph Clark, Dutch Clark, Harold Grange, George Halas, Mel Hein, Pete Henry, Cal Hubbard, Don Hutson, Earl Lambeau, Tim Mara, George Preston Marshall, John McNally, Bronko Nagurski, Jim Brown, and Jimmy Conzelman.
With the addition of the 2010 class, the Hall of Fame now includes 260 all-time greats.
Through 2008, all but one of the player inductees played some part of their pro career in the cheap NFL hats—the lone exception being Buffalo Bills guard Billy Shaw, who played his entire career in the American Football League (AFL) prior to the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
Canton, Ohio was selected as the location for the Hall of Fame for three reasons: first, the NFL, then known as the American Professional Football Association, was founded in Canton in 1920; second, the now-defunct Canton Bulldogs were a successful NFL team based in Canton during the first few years of the league; and finally, the community of Canton successfully lobbied the NFL hats to have the Hall built in their city.
To be eligible for the nominating process, a player must have been retired at least five years, and as of 2007, a coach must also have been retired for five years. Any other contributor such as a team owner or executive can be voted in at any time.
I felt honored on August 7, 2010 to have watched the induction ceremony for this class because they are so great
Congratulations to each of them for making the discount NFL hats the greatest sport of all and for making my Sundays that much more enjoyable.
We have all witnessed one of the best, if not the best, Hall of Fame classes assume their rightful place in Canton amongst their fellow legends of the gridiron.
