Also, one thing I think is unique about this is that there doesn't seem to be huge stinks raised from fans, they seem dissapointed in both sides just due to the perception of "millionares vs. billionares". Am I Wrong?

Both sides have some good points but with all the money involved it's just a whole nother world.

Oh, well at least College Football can't lockout.
Between my farorite team, fantasy football and just an overall excitement about NFL football I will be pretty upset if there is no season.

Am I the only person amused that this is happening on Roger Goodell's watch? This PR nightmare couldn't have happened to a more deserving *******, as far as I'm concerned.

One silver lining to this story.

Sure but whatever, life will go on.

You'll be surprised how much free time you'll have to reconnect with family, friends, hobbies, that garage you should have cleaned out 3 years ago

Very true, I would still miss football! I want to see if the Pack can repeat! Go Pack Go!!!

Some of my hobbies I can do during the game, my thousands of postcards always need attention and I do that when I'm watching TV.

That's a good point. However, I will still be watching college football this fall no matter what the greedos in the NFL decide to do.

I'm beginning to think that there's as much window dressing as there is actual substance to this whole idea of losing the 2011 NFL season. There's too much money involved for the league to go so far as cancel the season. At the same time, a league with teams full of replacement players (which they're currently denying as a possibility) isn't going to be acceptable.

That's why I believe this season is going to happen. First, there will have to be a lot of drama (read: media hype). But everyone will suit up and take the field just in time.

They probably said the same thing in 1987.

I'm not sure, I still think they miss a game or two. I hear a lot of players don't manage their money well. See Dez Bryant...

Most athletes in general don't manage their money well. The NBA offers free (yes free, despite these guys making millions) classes to players about financial management so they don't go bankrupt 2 years after they retire.
