Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker is disappointed NFL owners used comments he made about the lockout in court, because he was joking when he said them.
Welker hosted a free football camp for kids in Oklahoma City in April and in an article from that day, he joked, "Let's do a lockout every year."
"I said that as a joke and yet they use it in the court of law," Welker said on Boston radio station WAAF. "It was a little bit disappointing. It's kind of discouraging they would actually use that in the court of law, and you have to see it everywhere and things like that."
"Shoot, I guess the gloves are off, and they're going after everything," Welker said, laughing. "You have to really watch what you say, whether you're joking or not."
