It seems today that despite all the talk about the main issues being resolved yesterday – the issue of the opt out is again raising its head.
As Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk has emphasized, this shouldn’t even be a bone of contention.
Because the players would be paid from gross revenues, it’s in their best interest to make the TV people happy with a deal that is stable. By continuing to linger on this opt out issue, it will only succeed in alienating people – namely the fans.
We here at lombardiave.com say that the players should simply agree to the 10-year deal and move on.
Enough of the drama already.
The fans can see through this foot-dragging and wont be happy with any delays. At this point, the fans are expecting action this week and the start of camps.
Don’t let them down.
I am an award-winning journalist and photographer and have been editor of two weekly newspapers in northern Wisconsin for the past 23 years.
My love of the Green Bay Packers moved me to write columns for select websites in the mid- to late-1990s under the pen name of Apackphan. The opportunity to continue with lombardiave.com under that same pen name has been rewarding. Getting back into blogging has allowed me to renew the love of a team I have followed since I was a young boy.
