NFL Lockout
How is there not already a thread about this?
Today is D Day. What do you guys think about it? Will we have any more football in 2011? What excuse will we have when the fishing season is over to not have to work on the hunny-do list every Sunday?
I think I'm going to have to find a new appreciation for playoff baseball and early season basketball - because I'm not very confident we'll be watching football this year.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

From what I've been hearing, there is no option of scabs should the lockout continue into the season. |

the owners brought this on
they have too much money at stack not to get it done, I hope
owners want 18 games, the players don't and I agree with the players, stick to 16 games. We don't want the nfl turning into what happened to hockey. Also less chance fro injury.

With the talk about players already asking teammates for loans, I'm thinking the players will cave pretty quick once the paydays don't come. And any time lost will really hurt rookies. They need to see playbooks and get coached up for the NFL.

the average lifespan in the NFL is 4 years. Owners want to lock draft picks into 4 year deals. And they want us to pay, how much per ticket?
Well you make the choice.

I think the 18 game season is less of an issue than ongoing medical coverage and profit distribution. It's been assumed that if the number of games increased, so would salary caps and the typical player's pay.
Also if they do decide to go to 18 games, reports are that they will expand how many players can be on the roster. |

I think that's a good idea, but I still think a draft with a 4 year salary lock in is not right. |

I think it would be great if they shut it down for a year. Really.
What do you think the odds of that happening?
