I would tell you there's over an 80% chance there's going to be a lockout next year.

The game is going to be shut down.

They bring in a salary cap, a cap, a floor, increased revenue sharing.

First of all, this whole idea of a scheme, that's the way.

The Pirates have every opportunity of keeping schemes under those circumstances.

Well, as far as Griffin, like service time doesn't necessarily have to be an issue because when they negotiate the Players Association contract,

Three agencies, time, service, they're all going to get renegotiated.

Hey, Donnie.

Thanks for taking the call.

Yep.

You know, the one thing I don't think a lot of people are taking into consideration, you know, you're making a lot of good points about Roethlisberger's career, but I would argue he had better physical skills than Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, and perhaps he could have done more

I don't care if the guy's going out to dinner with his teammates, but he did have a reputation as one of the last to show up every day, one of the first to leave.

He had a reputation for not spending time in the film room.

Perhaps if he were doing more of that, they would have been more successful.

Perhaps if he were spending more time after practice, working with some of his wide receivers, they could have won a couple more games.

Perhaps if he had actually mentored Mason a little bit, maybe a couple games that Mason has to fill in for him, they win those games.

You know, I've seen a lot of stuff over the years on ESPN, NFL films, so forth, in terms of the things that Brady and Manning did to make themselves awesome.

I never hear or see anything about Roethlisberger doing that.

Like, really working on very fine...

Points of playing quarterback.
