man this fight is so one sided...the players are going to inevitably lose......as soon as most of these NFL dudes checks stop being regular they going to be hurting in a bad way....of course it very scary the owners willingness to piss on a product that is so profitable when everyone can see they are making money hand over fist...it took the nba and mlb years for fan to come back after a lock out...you could argue that in the nba they never came back

As far as my ramblings earlier I assumed people were talking about Panther football as a monopoly and not the NFL as a whole. I was posting in between chasing my daughter around the house so please just ignore what I said.

Do you live in WV?

There is a little more to the NBA situation than just the lockout. The star treatment (looking at you LeBron master of the no call charge foul) likely turned many off anyway and the lockout just tipped the scales.

The NFL will probably weather the lockout much better due to the insane rabid fan base surrounding the NFL.

First off I'm not lecturing anyone. I am debating my point of view of why I don't consider the NFL to be a monopoly. If you can't debate without name calling, perhaps you should recuse yourself from the conversation. What is and is not a monopoly is up for debate, hence why congress debated the MBL thing. You shouldn't take poo so personally on a forum debate.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
