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.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
