I am a huge fan of football and it would kill me to do this but I think everyone involved with this lockout should be punished for their greed, so I say when and if the season begins that every fan of their respective teams should boycott for the first six games. No watching games, no going to games, and no buying team appearal. If this was to happen than they would stand to lose a ton of money and maybe next time they would think twice about being so greedy next time. Show these people who the real boss is. THE FANS!

I have thought about this in depth and will not give you poo about it, because honestly, if a bunch of football fans band together, we can really do some damage by boycotting football for some time. however, I do not believe that enough people would take it seriously and commit to hitting the owners and players where it counts, their wallets.

I know I for one am down for doing this if the lockout keeps rolling. I will not watch football for x amount of weeks. I do think 6 is a bit steep, do it for 1 or two weeks and prove that you mean business and then maybe they will think twice about pulling this crap.

Well I have already paid for my tix so the only person that would hurt is me, not JR. Boycott all you want but season ticket holders can't without losing their @$$.

If we don't have football in September....I am cool. Still warm enough to boat, fish, and dive.

October.....still and doing OK as it's still warm enough to be outside.

November through Feb. and I will start freaking out. The days will be shorter, it will be nasty out, and too cool to dive or fish on my off days.

IMO the players will be too broke to not play in October, but that's just my opinion.

if we miss games i might be upset. unless i'm mistaken, we usually don't have any games at this point in time.

only thing that has been missed has been a couple practices which is nothing that can't be made up so that there is no football missed. it will put pressure on the players, but that isn't unique to the panthers.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
