Some Love in the O-Zone

So I got some love today in the O-Zone

It's also my first submission and first answer in the O-Zone. One for one.

As for Manning sacking himself, he does it. It keeps him in games. Oehser says it is something the Colts ask him to do. I'm skeptical but who knows maybe one day we'll see Curtis Painter sacking himself.

Ask Vic is alive and well over on Packers.com. I'm catching up, going through the archives now, but so far it isn't too Packers specific. I'm sure that will change as more Packer related news comes up but if you're looking for entertaining reading, Vic hasn't lost his fastball yet.

Here's a good round-up from PFT of the NFL's argument against lifting the lockout. The League has generally been better than the players at articulating their position, and I think that's why comment sections have tended to support ownership. That said, the players have a pretty big PR chip they don't use as effectively as they should, they can die out there.

Although there are legitimately a lot of costs players don't pay their fair share of, there are some pretty substantial costs players bear that owners will never see, long term health costs and really when you think about it, a reduced quality of life that can't be compensated for.
