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.

    • 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
