(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) Carolina Panthers kicker John Kasay has been watching union matters so long he recalled when a Plan B free agency acquisition caused a rift in the Seattle locker room in the early 1990s.p/So it's no accident that the soon-to-be 41-year-old kicker has perhaps the best perspective on the league's looming labor battle, and the potential for a lockout that could threaten the 2011 season.

Amazing how two people can be playing the same profession, yet one can not have the slightest clue as to what's going on, while another knows it from the inside out. John falls in the latter category obviously, but man.. Some of the players can be so ignaaant.

Kasay has a lot more time on his hands to ponder those things then most players do.

IMO the labor deal will get done even before preseason. There is too much on the line for the players and the Owners. Yea the Owners can sit back and make half the money but still its better to be getting all of it. I really doubt the owners will move much cause they moved a great deal last deal so its the players turn this time. The players will be the ones that cave and more then likely they will cave fast. Just like kasay said. You lose your heath plan and your money. Most players cant weather that storm and dont want too. Making some money is better then making none at all.

"To make an analogy, it's like a hurricane. You know it's out there, it's 400 miles away, you can tell there's a change in the weather. There's a change in the wind. It's probably a good idea to board up your windows, probably a good idea to make sure your gas tank is full. It's probably good to go through these preparations. But you don't know when it's going to hit or where it's going to hit and you don't know how it's going to hit.

"It could be devastating, it could completely miss. But you want to prepare, you want to anticipate things being bad. Because the potential does exist for that."

New Orleans fans, please take notes.

Doc, you've got to kidding. The guy knows his poo......I'd bet a good number of players don't have a clue as to what's going on. And that's not because they don't have time to "ponder".

You have got to be shitting me, ever heard of reading to far into poo? Kasay does have more time to think about this then other players that was all I was saying.

hell he spends most of his time on the sideline watching the Team out on the field thinking "ouch that one must of hurt" he's a freaking kicker, albeit a very very good one but that's all he is and that's all I was saying.

and hell big shock that the guy on the team that has the most time to think about stuff like this is the most well informed? shocker I know who would have ever thought of that???

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
