Post Union forces Raiders to end camp

The Oakland Raiders cancelled the final week of their offseason training program Friday after complaints from the NFL players' union about the intensity of the practices... In a brief statement, coach Lane Kiffin said the players' union believes the Raiders' offseason program violated league rules on practice standards.

Re: Union forces Raiders to end camp

This is just like what happened in Detroit last year. A team of sad-sack losers gets pushed early on by their new head coach and goes crying to the Union about how hard they're being forced to work. Cry me a river, guys. You won two games last season, and this is why. No heart. No work ethic. No willingness to do whatever it takes to get better. How in the world does this team ever expect to win if they aren't willing to pay the price?

Well come on guys...say it with me..."Parity"...heavens forbid one team gets pushed a bit harder than another because they were losers all last year...no darn it...we must have parity...all training sessions must be the same...no trying to cut ahead in the NFL.

Could you imagine Ted Hendricks, Gene Upshaw or John Matuszak whining to the Union about being worked too hard? Ha!
