You know what makes an NFL Lockout next year even worse? This.

NEW YORK (AP) -- NBA players' association executive director Billy Hunter said Monday he is "99 percent sure" there will be a lockout next summer.

NO FOOTBALL. NO BASKETBALL. ITS GOING TO BE HELL PEOPLE.

I guess College Football Ratings will be through the roof....Wouldn't surprise me if they move games to sunday.....

Only College Football will be played during thanksgiving and Christmas....

It's horrible as successful as these sports are while sports like baseball, hockey, and nascar struggle they are gonna jeopardize their fan base....

In struggling economic times people do not like billionaires arguing with millionaires over money. I guarantee you both sports will not pick up where they left us, especially basketball... they really can't afford a lockout.

the NBA lockout doesnt make the NFL lockout worse. who gives a poo about the NBA honestly? they need a lockout to happen. the NFL doesnt.

maybe people will start watching hockey again.

A lot of people gives a poo about NBA. The ratings have been on the rise the past years and good as of lately.

So people like myself have came back to the sport. They will be severily hurt by a lockout. Like I said other sports ratings are going down, theirs have been consistently going up.

Ehh... I'd rather watch the team game in college basketball instead of the superstar game of the NBA anyways.

I use to feel the way... But I am loving the NBA right now!! I won't really watch College Basketball until February/March.... NBA I've been watching this season from the beginning. Last year was probably the most NBA playoff games I've ever watched. I think I saw just about every one televised but a few.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
