From what's been said in other threads, the best case scenario is that the NFLPA sues the NFL for Anti-Trust, the judge in the case blocks the lockout and reinstates the old CBA while this is litigated.

The second possiblity is that the judges side with the NFL and allow for the enforcement of non-union employment laws on the players. In which case, the NFL will hand them the deal of their own choosing and tell the dissenters to apply at McDonalds, and GTFO.

There's a third, darker possibility too....

Keep in mind, the owners are talking about "Taking back their league". If the NFLPA wins every battle, and this doesn't get expedited through the appeals process and stalls in lower courts, there is a real possibility they will dissolve the league, create a "minor league" out of the smaller market clubs, and reform under a new brand with new players.

I dout that darker possiblity happens. If they start a new league with new players,some upstart league or the CFL will ****** up all the old players and instantly become the new NFL. Its the players that make the league not the owners.

So does this change anyone's opinion of who we should draft?

I know what I did my first year out of college, with no structure and total freedom. It wasn't productive. A lot of these guys will be without coaches and structured disciplinarians for the first time ever. Does that effect who you take in the first round?

Is Cam Newton just as much of a possibility for all of you Newton fans knowing Andrew Luck could very likely be an option next year?

Do you trust a sub 300 pound D lineman to be ready to contribute just as strongly after a year on the coach?

For me it seems all the more reason to take a "no questions on character" guy like Peterson?

Or is it all the more reason to trade down and get the guys you are confident will be ready in 2012?

Chances are we won't have the first pick next year to select Luck. No first pick equals no Luck.

With the worst offense in the league why are we talking about drafting defensive players unless, you are just giving up on this season.

Trading down is best outcome but the least likely.

Patron is good, good, stuff. No lime or salt needed.

You're just a hater! :cornut:

Sorry to break it to ya, but patron is trash.

Has one of the worst acitic bites of that level of tequila.

Anybody who thinks patron is smooth, is just ignorant.

Now ill admit, there are people wo like that bite in their tequila. That's fine, but they are still wasting their money.

Patron has many things going against it. The fact they use immature agave plants hurt. The fact it is so mass produced, that they don't care to skim the heads and tails off the batches between distilling runs, also hurts.

Joe public doesn't know jack about the majority of th alchy they drink. If they haven't heard of it, it can't be good. That is their first mistake. They believe the propaganda rather then finding out for themselves.

Wow. I am sure you are correct. All I know is it goes down smooth and has a nice taste and, on occasion, has made me do stupid stuff.

I am a complete layman when it comes to liquor, at least, in its technical characteristics, and will gladly defer to your expertise. And its very true that marketing has a lot to do with people's impression of what is good and what isn't.

Don't feel bad. That's how marketing works.

I thought I had a fairly good base of knowledge before I got into the wines and spirits industry. The first several months was me realizing that I didn't know poo. Neither does joe public. They know what is fed them in commercials, music videos, talk shows.

I will say there is a growing percentage of drinkers that do want to explore beyond the name brands...and they are thoroughly rewarded when they find other brands that are better....and more often than not...cheaper.

(Sorry to take this thread off topic).
