    So you live in the Pittsburgh area and saw Palko play in HS. By any chance, did you ever watch a HS kid (now in college) named Geoff Landry play in HS?

    doesn't look like the NFLPA had any intention of making a deal really. they just wanted to sue the League.
    it's BS they should have come to an agreement.

    Thanks for the "Like" on my article. Just wondering how you became a Chiefs fan being born in the Bronx and then living in Pittsburgh?

    I too am a die hard Chiefs fan. This year was the best season I have experience in a long time. Its been a long wait since Priest Holmes to finally have something to cheer for.
