Will there be NFL football in 2011?
With the league, and the players union talks stalled, there is a definite possibility of a lock out for the 2011 season. That means no football. Both sides are only able to agree on one thing, that they are no where near an agreement. When billionaires, fight with millionaires, over money, whose side do you take ?

They'll work out the problem, or the network assassins will start killing. They remember the baseball strike.
Reminds me of what Clinton said back then, one of the few things I salute him for: "This is about a couple hundred men fighting over $20 billion dollars. Work it out."

What strike? A temporary slow down in interest in the game, that's long since gone? NFL knows deep down they'll survive lockout just fine in long run. A year w/o football would make most fans even more anxious for the following season, it won't make them leave. Besides, what are they going to switch too? All sports have had lock out in past, except maybe NBA? But who cares about that sport?

Look at what happened with the hockey strike/lockout. Everyone lost.

Unfortunately the League is well aware of the amount of money a lockout would cost them, and they dont care. They dont care because they know that if Americans go a year without football, fans will pay even more to get it back. Higher ticket prices, higher parking fee's, and concessions. Say goodbye to seven dollars beers, they'll be twenty bucks by 2012.

Part of me thinks some professional athletes are grossly overpaid. Part of me thinks if the market can support it, why the Hell not.
One thing I love about professional athletics, though. There is no EEO discrimination bullshit. As I've stated before, it's the only industry in America that hires indiscriminately. They take the best man for the job, period.
