Thanks for the Love, Scoop Jackson -- But What Are You Talking About?

Scoop Jackson's column today is about JaMarcus Russell -- I think, honestly, I haven't read it. The only reason I noticed it is because it set off an alert I have set for "armchairgm". I searched the article for the mention of our community, and found this:
Regardless, as one person in a chat room at armchairgm.com said, "Welcome to capitalism in the anti-anti-trust world of the NFL." A place where the motto of a team with the worst record in the League is "Just win, baby." A place where winning sometimes has nothing to do with football. Yay, yay.
Two problems, though:
1) We have a chat room? I know we've rolled out a lot of new features, but, chat rooms? Nope, no chat rooms here. I wonder, then, where exactly was Jackson hanging out? The closest thing is the NFL Fan Network, but that brings me to problem #2:
2) No one ever said what he said they said. In other words: I can't seem to find the quote. It's not in the fan network (which includes all the NFL team fan networks). I searched th site and came up with nothing, and even a broader search on the word "capitalism" came up empty. As a check, I turned to Google -- getting this hysterical result.
So, what the heck is Scoop Jackson talking about? Maybe that's why there's no link to ArmchairGM; because there is no chat room, no speaker, and no quote to link to?
(We appreciate the cite, though.)
Update
Here is the quote, thanks to Erooster. Well, kind of. Jackson's take:
"Welcome to capitalism in the anti-anti-trust world of the NFL."
The actual quote:
"Correct...welcome to a capitalistic society...which even exists in the anti-"anti-trust" world of the NFL"
So, yeah, I guess that's kind of close.
But I still can't find the chat room.
