Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

An NFLPA Exec says that the chance for a lockout next year is 14 on a 1-10 scale. That doesn't sound promising.

I have been hearing this too for the past few months. We will see what happens.

That is correct.

If the situation isn’t resolved relatively soon, there will be no football in 2011.

:(

you telling me the same thing will happen to the NFL?

You sir have much to learn. If anything this would help the NFL, give it crazy rating when it does come back.

Well obviously it's never going to be an abscure league

But it is you who have much to learn. A lockout would be the worst idea I can think of for the NFL outside of changing what sport it plays.

oh alright.

I thought you were saying that the NFL would would need to build its fan base and rep back up. Just like how the NHL is struggling to do now.

The NFL would be smart not to give people an option as to what life is like without NFL on fall sundays. America only thinks they can’t live without pro football.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Wait…is there something else to do on a fall sunday?? I am so confused!

by TrevorR on Feb 7, 2010 12:06 AM CST up reply actions  

…or baseball in the 90’s? Hockey was never anything close to what the NFL is, but baseball WAS and it took a LONG time for it to get back to where it is even now. Its a HUGE risk for them to take.

Oh God I don’t know what I’d do without football…

Is it just me or does this just seem like posturing.

Could just be trying to add a little pressure to the owners and gain a little extra leverage.

by levnclf on Feb 4, 2010 9:55 PM CST reply actions  

Sure there is definitely some posturing…its too early to be TOO scared. But its still a possibility and a scary one. Imagine a year without football and fantasy football…what a sad life it would be!

In that case

bring in Shane Falco!

Funk it.

Guess this means more time for Baseball.

If Gene Upshaw believed in anything

during his time as NFLPA director, it was that the players belonged on the field and not in a football room. I’d like to believe Demaurice Smith is smart to realize that.
For the next year and a half, we’re going to hear alot of posturing, and more from the PA side. Take it all with a grain of salt. The last thing Roger Goodell, Demaurice Smith, Kevin Mawae, and the thirty two nfl owners want is a lockout, just because you can’t be sure you’ll retain one hundred percent of the fanbase when you do come back.
