Steely Dan Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...-could-imagine/ There's some interesting stuff in the article but the report of a potential lockout is old news. DeMaurice Smith said that on a scale of 1-10 the chances of a lockout are a 14. Whether this turns into a lockout or a strike is the only question I think. I'm not sure that if the league declares a lockout if the players would still have to be paid.
Boom Jam Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I'm actually looking forward to a lockout. The league needs a reality check and it's going to be fun watching all parties involved squirm like hell.
Cornerville Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I'm actually looking forward to a lockout. The league needs a reality check and it's going to be fun watching all parties involved squirm like hell. I agree. Then some holier then thou NFL fans can stop waxing poetic about how the NFL is so above and beyond anything else and realize they are just like the other major sports.
Steely Dan Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I agree. Then some holier then thou NFL fans can stop waxing poetic about how the NFL is so above and beyond anything else and realize they are just like the other major sports. Ratings prove the NFL is above and beyond all the other sports.

DarthICE Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I'm actually looking forward to a lockout. The league needs a reality check and it's going to be fun watching all parties involved squirm like hell. I love it. I hope the NFL announces it just as soon as the superbowl for the 2010 season is over. Bring in replacments, hold the draft like normal and lets move on. In a couple years the players will beg to get a deal done.

billsfan89 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 A telling sign that it is going to happen is that the players were told to start building their savings and that the have been saving a 50-100 million dollar warchest in order to better survive a lockout.

No draft without a CBA--unless the owners want to go to jail for violating the antitrust laws in such a flagrant way.
Adam Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Ratings prove the NFL is above and beyond all the other sports. Yep, just like sales PROVE that New Kids on the Block are better than the Beattles
Cornerville Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Yep, just like sales PROVE that New Kids on the Block are better than the Beattles Thank you for saying it for me

F replacements... let the league have nothing for a year... for both sides.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Hopefully UB football will be a pretty good in 2011. It's something. That or maybe the Toronto Argos will return the favor and play a game or two at RWS. PTR
/dev/null Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 F replacements... let the league have nothing for a year... for both sides. Awww c'mon. Aren't you looking forward to a Super Bowl matchup between JP Losman and Jamarcus Russell? With the 1st pick in the Replacement Draft, the Buffalo Bills select QB Shane Falco

KD in CA Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I'm kind psyched for the chaos and finger pointing too. In fact I just ordered a mock-replica "Lockout 2011" jersey.
