Greg Aiello is, according to the Twitter page of Greg Aiello, the Senior Vice President of Public Relations for the National Football League. Therefore, a person of sound mind would assume Greg Aiello, Senior Vice President of Public Relations for the National Football League, is a pretty conservative guy who carefully manages not only the NFL’s public image, but his own as well--especially now since the NFL is the subject of harsh criticism for this pesky little lockout thing.

However, this afternoon, Greg Aiello, THE GODDAMN GUY IN CHARGE OF THE THIS COUNTRY’S MOST POPULAR PROFESSIONAL SPORT’S PUBLIC IMAGE, went on a multi-tweet rant, defending the NFL’s stance on labor negotiations by comparing it to a Steak ‘N Shake. So yeah, that’s the state of the lockout.

Can’t wait to read Greg's ruminations comparing the decision to move kickoffs up to the 35 yard line to Dick’s Sporting Goods.
