🏈 NFL 2011 Lock Out

[XXL TideFan]

I keep hearing that the possibility of a lock out in 2011 is likely. What would this do to juniors (Mark Ingram) looking to declare for the draft? Would Ingram return for a senior season?

I don't know either, but that is a great question.

Also keep in mind that it impacts every Senior as well.

Surely the NFL players/owners can work something out by the summer of 2011, right? I just can't believe that in this economy, we have the threat of a work stoppage of any kind. I certainly don't see the economy being any better by 2011.

In this economy pro atheletes have no right to complain about pay. If only someone would pay me millions to play a game rather than work.

IMHO, they have no right to complain period!! This is why I really dislike any pro sport. They gripe and complain about how they don't make enough money while we have kids out on the streets living in boxes or going into shelters. They were all given a great talent and should be thankful for it and thank God for the opportunity to go out and play a game for a living. I know that no all players fall into the category but they are just so greatly outnumbered by those that are whiners and criers. Give me the league minimum to play the game I love and I wouldn't be complaining.

Nope! The owners are going to get the TV money whether they play or not. And the players, just like any unionized group of employees, are too stupid to make any concessions.

I dont care what that article says, I would put all my 'bama bucks' on it saying that there won't be a lockout.
