An ex-communicated RB's stats from CANADA.

A prima-donna hick/turd WR opens a juice store in WV.

A 45-yr old ex-NFL WR wins a footrace against other old guys.

A story about Derek Hagan being, possibly, the steal of the draft.

....UGH....hit the snooze bar and wake me when CAMP opens....or another Bengal is arrested, or a Steeler injured himself in a self inflicted bow and arrow accident.

Uh-huh. And while the "official" sports media fritter away the hours in an offhand way, no one but PFT is saying anything about the one slowly-unfolding disaster that could eff up at least the early part of the season, if not the whole year.

Namely, the fact that, despite all the happy talk three months ago, there is still no new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Like Mikey said at the time when he voted no, they didn't have an actual, final document. Instead, they approved a bunch of vaguely worded amendments meant be sprinkled into the old CBA to make a new CBA. Three months later, that sprinkling has yet to occur, and per PFT, behind closed doors, the owners and the players' union are back to the same old game of blame-the-other-side.

The biggest sticking point now, PFT says, is a disagreement over recouping bonus money. The new language forbids any arrangement to give back signing bonuses, but doesn't specifically address other bonuses, like option and roster bonuses. The owners say that they can therefore insert clauses allowing them to recoup that money; the players union says that even tho it only names signing bonuses it actually applies to all bonuses.

So if anyone was wondering why it's just a month from training camp and virtually no one has been signed, there ya go. If this issue doesn't get nailed down, I will wager that a whole lot of players, not just ours, won't be in camp on time -- or maybe at all.
