    Why, are you worried it's going to slide off the bottom of the board and get buried under all of the other NFL news?

    Why is this depressing?

    Football isn't supposed to start until August.

    The draft still occurs...That's about the only football related event that will occur.

    True, but the draft becomes trickier without knowing what free agents you can and can't keep, who you might pick up, etc.

    That this makes this fight dragging into the regular season just a bit realer. Sucks.

    Just my opinion...

    Can't see how, regardless of what they say they agreed on, anyone sides with the owners here.

    It seems like:
    Owners: "We have expenses. Give us one billion dollars."
    Players: "Show us why."
    Owners:"Fine. Give us 800 million."
    Players: "Show us why or we decertify and let the courts figure it out."
    Owners:" "Nope."

    Players decertify

    Owners:"Look....we agreed to all sorts of stuff and they still decertified. They never wanted to really negotiate."

    I know it's way oversimplifying, but still. Can't see many fans siding with the owners.

    Why do I have visions of Ellis and Holmes in a room with a four pound bag of Purple Haze right now?

    So if there is no season is the superbowl winner decided by letting a Madden season run through on automatic?

    Because now instead of discussing FA signings, we'll have to read your inane posts.
