Billionaires versus Millionaires

It's hard to get too upset about the pending NFL work stoppage. On one side you have a group of 30 owners trying to get a bigger cut of the billions generated by the NFL, and on the other you have a lowly group of millionaires trying to get a bigger share as well. The biggest issue for the fans and one of the most contentious is whether or not the NFL will be able to force the players to accept an expanded 18 regular season. I remember as a kid when the NFL season consisted of 14 regular season games and a couple of playoff games. Of course I also remember people saying how you could run into many Baltimore Colt players at the local pubs on Greenmount Avenue in Baltimore after a Colts practice. Don't think you'll catch too many of today's players hanging out at Bernie's Bar drinking draft beer these days.
