2011 the year of no Professional Sports.

There will be one or the other. If the NBA is around, it will help a lot, as there are games being played all the time and not just once a week.

The NBA is hurting and wants a hard cap and reduction of top players salaries. They might even do some retraction and cut the teams down to 28.

Really think there will be and I think it might not be back until 2012.

I don't. I know all the talk is "If an agreement is not reached by March 3, there will be a lockout based on the current CBA." That is such a load a crap. The CBA is a contract between the League and the NFLPA. A contract does not have to operate under its terms if both sides agree to modify them. That is what I think will happen here.

All the crap going through the media right now is just that. It is crap being used for posturing by both sides. While the owners stand to lose from a year without football, the players, whose average careers are much shorter than an owner's time at the helm, stand to lose just as much, if not more.

The players may stand by this "No cap in '10 = no cap ever" junk. Guess what? While Jerry Jones, Daniel Snyder and Al Davis may be okay with that, the vast majority of owners will not be. The owners really hold all the cards here.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
