RVR II:
Might as well start this thread way ahead of time as there is a lot of news back and forth about the NFL Lockout; Lockout lifted, Appeals, etc.
So, I'm still predicting a 2011 NFL season will be had 8) :cheers:

Oh, of course they will have a season...... gotta get Cam Newton and Jimmy Clausen to have that training camp cage match to determine who gets to wear number 2.
They will probably come up with a new agreement in mid-August and have a frenzied free agent period and shortened training camp.
And if not....... hello college football!

Published May 03, 2011
PITTSBURGH -- Rashard Mendenhall has created a stir with comments made on his official Twitter page regarding Usama bin Laden's death.
The Pittsburgh Steelers running back on Monday tweeted: "What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side..."
Mendenhall didn't hold back, even making a reference to the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style."
The Steelers felt compelled to act. On Tuesday, team president Art Rooney II released a statement.
"I have not spoken with Rashard, so it is hard to explain or even comprehend what he meant with his recent Twitter comments. The entire Steelers organization is very proud of the job our military personnel have done and we can only hope this leads to our troops coming home soon."
Mendenhall, who profiles himself as a "conversationalist and professional athlete" on his Twitter page, turned some heads in March, as well, when he supported a comment by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson comparing the NFL to "modern-day slavery."
"Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel eachother," Mendenhall posted at the time.
Mendenhall is coming off a tremendous season, as he led the AFC champions in carries (324), rushing yards (1,273) and rushing touchdowns (13). He has 2,439 yards in three seasons since being drafted in the 2008 first round out of Illinois.
Among his other bin Laden tweets:
"I believe in God. I believe we're ALL his children. And I believe HE is the ONE and ONLY judge."
"Those who judge others, will also be judged themselves."
"For those of you who said you want to see Bin Laden burn ... I ask how would God feel about your heart?"
"There is not an ignorant bone in my body. I just encourage you to think."
