Tepper is the guy who was quite happy to tell the South Carolina legislature "No problem, we'll build it in Charlotte".  If he's involved the the NFLPA negotiations, he'd probably be happy to tell them "No problem, we'll bring in replacement players".  He seems like a super no-nonsense kinda guy.

I wonder when he will bring out the Panther special: Pie charts

tbqh I'm almost at the point where I say let the league fold

I mean, it was fun to have the Panthers in my life for the 25 years they would have been in it then and I will always have the memories.

But, I tire of the arguments of both sides in this fight.

Few fans, if any, will give replacement players much validity. I am old enough to remember the scabs, and it wasn't really pretty.

This happens in basically every professional sport that is unionized. This also happens in businesses that have unions.

It's a very large mutual loss for both parties if there is no NFL for a year. Not much to see here, it happens basically every CBA cycle. It is what it is.

I can assure you I will not watch a bunch of JAG's play an entire NFL season. They can count me out on that poo.

I realize as much. I think it was my way of saying that it could fold and I wouldn't care, and that I think I'm slowly outgrowing football.

Also, I think it'll be an obsolete sport in my lifetime anyway. I think the money goes into another form of the  industry, perhaps virtual, which will eventually be obsolete as well.

I think society as a whole is realizing we have bigger problems, and better/more constructive outlets of escapism/entertainment available to us. More people are seeing professional sports for the capitalist giants they have become, and are turning away from them.

At least I hope so, on all of the above.

In the end, it's just the fans that get hurt. The players will get more money, the owners will still get gobs of revenue by jacking up ticket prices and other revenue streams. We get more expensive tickets, more expensive memorabilia and possibly an even less interesting version of the game.

 

Now if the fans would strike...

      Hilarious coming from them because they played the Mammoth and Ducks in the first two rounds and then got a less than 50% Makar and McKinnon in the Western conference finals... And the Mammoth and Ducks arguably looked like the better team in that series, outside of game 6

      Good work.  As always, I share insights from my playing experience (3rd team all Pop Warner league) that is my experience and I can only assume it applies to the whole.  My dad (TE for the Gamecocks) taught me a lot--and then my experiences in college confirmed what he taught me.  There is something called "the zone" (I suppose) and it is based on your connection with the QB.  He knows you will be open, when you will be open, and he knows you will make the play.  The WR knows when the ball is going to arrive and he can even sense at the LOS when the ball is coming his way.  "Being on the same page," some call it, but it is a state of invisibility--as if nobody can stop you and the confidence and trust are overflowing.  Drop a pass, you fall out of the zone. If the QB overthrows you or misses you when you are open, the zone shrinks.  Funny thing, the Zone, and I am not sure that is what they really call it--it is what I called it. So how does a QB get in the zone with XL?  He does not get great body position and bail out the QB on bad throws.  He seems to be thinking while he is running his routes and has little awareness of where he is on the field.  The QB does not trust him.  I am not sure XL knows what the zone feels like.   Just my thoughts as I was reading this excellent post.  TY OP/TD alt.

      Damn fine points made.    No DoubT drafting a raw receiver with a young QB was the wrong decision at the time.  XL can still turn into a productive play maker.  Not sure I am counting on him, alth I am also not counting him out.
