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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
