What a shame. That asshat DeMaurice Smith (an attorney), is either a fool, or is deliberately trying to destroy the NFL. If you read up on his background it's not hard to imagine the later.

Will I be pissed? Sort of. It's just another reminder that everything that makes the US great is under duress.

If there is a lock out, the NFL will destroy itself. They are idiots if they let it get to that point. The NFL is the most dominate professional sports league in the nation, and definitely the biggest money maker in the world.

They stand to lose a TON of money if that happens. Not only the players, but the owners and the league as a whole.

I will inevitably get really really good at whatever Call of Duty is out at that time. I will

be more attentive to my wife and family on Sundays, and I will see what a sunny Sunday looks like for the first time since I don't leave my house. I will also get a sizeable refund for my early bird automatic renewal of my Sunday Ticket package, and will use that money to buy lots of liquor to drown my sorrows away.

In all honesty, I plan on recording every game next season and watching them sequentially during the lockout so the wifey will leave me alone on Sundays. She's oblivious to my football games, and will never know they're recorded. If she knows there is no football, the god damn honey-do list will rear it's ugly head.

Well, for starters my GPA will probably go up a whole point.

Can't tell you how many papers I've had to write in about 2 hours because I decided to procrastinate and write it after football was over. Also might help getting more than a few hours of sleep..

I honestly don't see a lockout happening though, you don't realize how much money the NFL would lose. They'll pull out all the stops to prevent it from happening.

Ask MLB how well those strikes work. It will be even worse for the NFL because people will just get more involved in college football and may not care about the pros ever again.

I disagree...the NFL is much more popular than baseball was then. The strike didn't help baseball but life was changing for people anyway and the days of having time to sit down and follow a 160+ game MLB season was no longer feasible. The strike just accelerated the inevitable.

The NFL could strike and the following year people would still come back and devote a couple of hours out of their Sunday to watch. I know I would.

I agree though that hopefully the two sides are not that dumb to let he decision of how to divide up billions of dollars even come into play on hurting the NFL and what it has become today.

I will take the money I save not buying season tickets and take the family on a vacation to a tropical island.

I would be willing to bet that PSL owners will have to still pay their season ticket costs and it will count toward the following season in the case of a lockout.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
