looks like NFL is not going to happen in 2011-2012

[TheGambler]

I am confident they will figure it out and be on the field

[Igetp2s]

I would love for the NFL season to not happen. The NFL has become way too arrogant and hypocritical, especially when it comes to sports betting. They have no gratitude whatsoever to all the bettors who without them would make the league far less profitable and successful.

Everyone on this board should be rooting for the NFL to be cut down to size.

[LineKrusher]

Don't worry. There'll be a last minute deal. Too many $$$ would be lost...

[vieruccio]

I hope too for a last minute deal!!

[chachi]

That's what they said about the NHL and MLB last time around as I recall ...

I wish I had more hands so I could give this posts four thumbs up.

How do you classify the NFL's attitude towards betting currently and what kind of attitude would you like to see them have toward betting in the future?

[Jrod124]

[dogkatcher]

They struck before, why not again?? Greedy, both sides!

i hope the players hold out for everything they want. owners will be the big losers.

[cutesauce]

nfl lockout would suck, sundays will be boring.
imo nfl is the best sport.
actual strategy is involved.

[dochall2u]

it will be miserable with no NFL;at least DirectV will not get their chunk from me

[GunShard]

It would be pathetic if fans had to resort to creating mock NFL games with Madden 12 then upload it on Youtube, lol.

Great post

Have some good college games on sundays

A number of friends and I really stopped being 'rabid NFL fans' back in the late 90s and while I still follow/cheer on my beloved Bears, I don't have the 'attachment' to them as I did in my younger days.

IMO the league does not deserve most/all of the legal protections and exemptions it has and should be treated no differently than any other commercial enterprise.

[antifoil]

my only interest in the nfl football is fantasy related. i watch college for fun.

go on youtube people already do this shit.

[zjohnzzz]

still time maybe a 14 game season

[bozeman]

they should play it -who is gonna beat the prick then?

[ChicagoCover]

I don't think it'll happen, sadly. Too bad for the draft class that just moved in. Wasn't a great class on rookies, but there are some talent who really wants to play this year, and sadly they wont be getting the game check any time soon.

[spongerat]

those of you saying the players are greedy don't understand the details of the dispute clearly. Well they are greedy a little but adding more games increase the injury rate by a larger proportion than the increase of pay would reflect. Additionally the majority of NFL players earn NFL minimum wage which combined with the average 3.5 year career may seem like a lot but goes real quick. My sports law professor is also a pretty big agent for some bigname players here in New England and says that there will definitly be a season. She was just at a meeting about this with some of the owners last week.

[BrickJames]

Once they miss one Sundays billions in revenue I bet they will work something out.

[Saunders FTW]

There will be a season I am sure, however could be 10-12 games

[VegasVixen]

I will be shocked if the season is shortened at all. Too much money involved, it will happen.

[Shack]

I feel it will happen but oh my college football would prosper if it didn't.

[Shack]

There would be at least one college football game a night during the week. Big time matchup too.

[Shack]

Give me a big time college game on a Monday night and I could live with it. I would need me a college fantasy football team though.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Give me a big time college game on a Monday night and I could live with it. I would need me a college fantasy football team though.

I could live with both of these as well.

[macoeric]

^ I heard on either PTI or ATH a while ago that they were already planning on doing that monday night game if it didn't work out with the NFL

[Crazygamble]

no sunday games that good , more time to relax

[astrodomer]

Nfl will have thier season no doubt

[Rich Boy]

I would miss Sundays, I hate college football and Saturday is just the day before NFL Sunday, not a day I enjoy (unless its Hockey Night in Canada).

I hope they play the season as planned

[OneLossParlayGuy]

there will be a season..players will give in
