The Facts:
Rivers is the perfect person to discuss the lockout. He is neither stridently pro union nor anti-union. He's a centrist, and in many ways Rivers represents a number of NFL players. It's these reasons why Rivers' blunt words on the lockout are worth noting. "I'm about to reach my limit, I'm going stir crazy," Rivers told me. "I think it's just unfortunate we've come to this. ..."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rivers went on to tell CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman, "The game is at an all-time high. I'm not talking about revenue. I'm talking about popularity. We're essentially putting all of that at risk. I don't mean just players. I mean owners, everyone. I didn't think we’d ever be here. I'm still shocked we're at this point. ..." According to Freeman, we've officially crossed into a different lockout territory. Players have gone from anger to frustration to boredom and now stir-crazy. We can only hope their desire to return to work is being heard by the NFLPA decision makers.
