When You're Here...............You're Ex-Family.

For those, like me, who used to believe that the worst thing that could happen at an Olive Garden is that you would have to eat their food:

The owner of the Pittsburgh Power fired all 24 members of his team during a pregame meal at an Orlando-area Olive Garden.

With AFL players set to strike before the 2012 season opener, owner Matt Shaner reacted first, cutting his entire team hours before kickoff of a game against the Orlando Predators.

"Mid-statement, all the players got up and left," former Power center Beau Elliott told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Every player got up and left while he was still talking. There were 15 to 20 angry, large individuals."

The AFL Player's Association was calling for an increase in the $400 game checks paid to most players on each team. The union demanded a 300 percent increase in the minimum salary. AFL owners countered with a $100 raise.

Got up and left? Dumb Jocks, I would have ran up a bill that made my salary look like a bargain.....and took home a pocket full of bread sticks.

Man, who do resort to playing with when you walk away from your Arena Football League team? The St. Louis Rams??

Is that a breadstick in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
