": Can't wait to walk my boy into football camp tomorrow morning! " thanks for letting him come

Somebody get on this suspension/CBA story asap! He'll get to the bottom of it, rather than just telling us how dumb we are.

Sometimes I get tired of hearing skip Bayless and Stephen a. Smith talk on first take...

I think skip just argues against everyones elses opinion just to boost ratings and stephen a. (cont)

I wonder if the shills & stenographers at the TP would have looked into the CBA stuff if someone in the national media had tweeted about it.

"Confederacy of Dunces... err... conspiracy theorists" 1, NFL shills at the Times-Picayune 0

Keep on shilling. Nice "confederacy" veiled dig. RT : column from T-P: Conspiracy theories just don't up:
