Lockout seems inevitable...what will you do

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
