NFL Lockout?

So the word is that after the reports of the NFL lockout not going into affect. now officials are saying that it is back on SMH. But if you do not know what the lockout is all about let me inform you: "The NFL and the NFL Players' Association are currently in negotiations to install a new collective bargaining agreement before the 2011 season. The two parties last modified the collective bargaining agreement in March 2006, when it was extended for five years. NFL owners decided to opt out of that agreement in 2008, though, and played the 2010 season without a salary cap."

"The current agreement will expire on March 3, 2011, and if the two parties cannot come to an agreement before the 2011 season it is possible -- and exceedingly likely -- the NFL will face a lockout. To try and avoid that, the two sides have agreed to federal mediation, which began on Feb. 18, 2011."(espn.com)

Either way this is crazy, what are a lot of people going to do without the NFL. But I guess that will help people appreciate the league more. I hope everything works out. I'll keep everyone up dated.
