Bill Simmons on the NFL Labour Dispute

On of his best articles ever (which is saying a lot) in which he takes on the mentality of the owners in terms us bloggers can understand. If Charlie Sheen is addicted to winning, then I am addicted to making money. I have lost any and all perspective. I don’t care if I lose my [...]
