PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"The NFL labor talks." |
Two things to remember:1. No business is too big to fail. 2. The government will not bail this group out. I don't think the league is heading for a total self-destruct, but I do feel both sides are entrenched to the point where everyone is willing to throw away a few games just to show how serious they are. My prediction is a lot of smoke, a ton of shouting, some actual flames, and everyone gets a deal done -- but not before turning next year into a fourteen-game season. I'm pretty sure the owners won't try walk-on players this time. ...okay, Davis and Snyder will. But other than that... 
I wonder how much Snyder's subs will be ordered to pay him?

In the Seahawks case it would be ever again, since they did make it to Super Bowl XL

Their career may only last 4 years, but the paychecks don't have to. There are plenty of retired players out there still collecting paychecks from their teams.

Yeah, that's about how long it takes to point a finger (or show one).

What kind of odds did you get? Because with the numbers I'm not-projecting, hitting that one would mean owning the Dolphins.

19. "The players open the lockout coffers." |
Up to $60,000 per qualified participant (in six installments) over the course of the lockout. Which basically means you can send your entourage out for beer twice.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6270467 As a grand total sum of money, it's an impressive amount -- but compared to what the owners are falling back on, it's throw pillow versus firefighter's air cushion. And the fact that they started offering money this early has to make the owners happy. We've seen the post-career bankruptcy figures, know some players live check to check, and that entourage can drink anyone under the table -- but to have people asking for cash this early in the process? I suspect we have funds-poor players out there, and I don't know how long they're going to last before they break. Not everyone can go apply for a job in the MLS, y'know.

25. "After four months." |
Players: 'All we're asking is that the league obey the law.'Owners: 'Screw that! We're rich!' We can now start counting down to lost time. Rookie minicamps and briefings are pretty much gone. The 'optional' training camps go next, and then the mandatory attendance ones. Shortly after that, we lose preseason games, and then... Y'know the real potential winner here? Hockey. With the NBA scheduled to go lockout as soon as the Finals or draft wrap up (pick your favorite), a worst-case scenario for the two battling leagues leaves puck slapping as the last major winter sport. Guess who's getting the headlines? The ticket sales from a sports-desperate public? Possibly even a better TV contract? (Okay, that last may be pipe dreaming.) I wonder if any of the players are thinking Federal League?

30. "Lockout over" |
The settlement/CBA has been approved and signed by both sides.http://tinyurl.com/3gtccqn 132 days total. Training camps start opening on Wednesday, the teams whose camps open when are determined by when their first preseason game is, camps open 14 days before that game.
Only preseason casualty in terms of games is the Hall of Fame game. 10-year deal.

Darn. Now we'll have to put up with Indianapolis Superbowl traffic. It's horrible for the 500, it's going to be a nightmare for the SB.

29. "The first real sign of football." |
According to various rumors, the Eagles are looking for a backup quarterback. Someone with experience, who can give Vick a little guidance in all things media-baiting while doing reps with the clipboard. Someone established. Someone who just wants to put on a uniform. Someone who doesn't mind being booed all the time. And with that in mind, they have reached out to --(you guessed it already, didn'tcha?) -- Brett Favre. It's like watching the first leaf turn, isn't it? 
Next up: the first Bengal gets arrested!

That happened during the lockout: Cedric Benson was charged with Assault a week or so ago...

I'm sure he did it in the name of bringing the sport back.

So while their win potential remains a mystery, their felony levels are already on pace to beat last year. Improvement!
