GUIDE TO THE LOCKOUT<br />
<br />
<br />
“All they did was take game checks away from guys that were real NFL players that had families and situations<br />
in their life that they had to take care of. I wasn't happy about it. And I know over time you tend to forget about<br />
it, but you always remember what they did and who they were.”<br />
Dan Marino, Hall of Fame Quarterback, on HBO's show<br />
“Inside the NFL”, referring to NFL Owners during the 1987 strike<br />
