Yeah, they all went to college, but only about 50% actually completed a degree. It's a myth the NFL likes to promote with their player introductions with the player stating their name and college. The truth is a lot of guys have no degree. Troy Aikman for instance didn't have his degree. He finished it up after his playing days were done.I agree with you. In this NEW, WORSE,  world economy for them to be fighting over how much money they can stuff into their back accounts makes me sick. Millionaires fighting with Billionaires. Ugh..I however am leaning toward the players side on this one. If the owners want more money off the top they should open their books and show why. No one has yet. I'll always be a fan of football till the day I die. They could have no football for 5 years, but I would be right there when they started playing again. It's hardwired into my DNA. Baseball, on the other hand, when they had the work stoppage I gave up on that sport. So I guess the owners know they can mess around with the lockout and still people will be lined up again as soon as the doors open. Count me in that group (hangs head in shame).</blockquote>
