Reduced season or no season

[Mr. Scot]

It's not my belief that the lockout will drag out so long that we will actually lose games, but I must admit to the possibility that it could.

In a worst-case-scenario like this, would you be okay with a partial season, or are you an "all or nothing" type?

[pantherj]

Even if we have a 1 game season, I'm still going to watch and be 'ok' with it. I'd like to say that I won't watch to teach the owners a lesson, but they couldn't give sh!t either way. So 1 game or 18, I'm going to check out the action. I actually had fun pulling for Denver to win late last season, and we might have a similar situation next season.

[Future of the Funchise]

That depends... Is the UFL going to be televising its games this year?

[Verge]

If it is 5+ weeks, no. I have waited that long for football, I can wait some more for the number one pick once again.

If it is below 5 weeks, yeah I don't see much of an issue with it.

If it becomes clear that they are going to miss games, the US government should intervene... Charlotte businesses shouldn't have to miss out on 64 million dollars of revenue generated by the 8 NFL home games because these spoiled children can't figure out how to split up 9 billion.

Yes the gubment should intervene in all contractual negotiations!

[mmmbeans]

the US government should not intervene.

[Lumps]

No season. That SB win will be tainted and worthless. It would suck to be that team.

Someone should intervene maybe, but not the government who runs programs like social security, DMV and Welfare....

i would rather win a tainted superbowl than have a lockout.

You'd get poo for it and no respect at all for it. If we are talking 1 or 2 games obviously a huge difference than half the season.

But how prepared are teams really going to be getting into it mid season? Sounds like a disaster and some bullpoo fan wise and even more BS coming from a paying customer viewpoint.

yea, if there aren't any camps this year, the whole season is gonna be a crazy ass clusterf*ck.

which is part of the reason I don't understand drafting a QB this year. You aren't gonna be able to work with him, you aren't gonna be able to start him.

This will end by the draft. She will hear arguments on briefs she has already read and mostly made up her mind on based on law. within two weeks of this hearing next week she will rule.

My guess is she will rule the decertification is a sham, which it is, and therefor she will lift the lockout and have the league conduct business under 2010 rules and order both back to the table or else.

A week after the draft Free agency will start say on the 29th.

This season will will get played one way or the other. Too much money at stake and too many jobs and economy's affected outside just the owners and players.

I do expect her to rip some ass on both sides.

[jtm]

People that say no season aren't really thinking this through. I can't imagine going without pro football and I will take whatever I can get.

No season. Near impossible for a new staff just to be able to walk on field with a new team. Half aszed product at full price. No thanks. The difference in preparation between an Atalnta and San Fran would be night and day. Too many new staffs would know nothing about there team and wouldn't have installed the offense or d
