will there be a 2011 a season? seems the subject is under-explored in ever venue of expression. don't look good to me @ this juncture. not much info to hang your hat on in the media

things to do:
1) college football is very entertaining, some swear by arena football.
2) soccer is the number one sport in the world & the US has become competitive @ all levels
of the game, making for an excellent substitute for the NFL. give it a shot, if you're not already a fan, you just might like it http://www.mlssoccer.com/
3) the world won't end because of a handful of greedy owners & players. Friday night football @ your local high-school will survive & is a legitimate neighborhood alternative.
4) how can the fan-base apply input & pressure on the NFL to do the right thing?

Ladies Lounge. Case Closed.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

they will all cave when the first preseason game is skipped and no one ones making any money. They're all so high and mighty right now cause its the offseason and nobodies losing any money yet (well, the owners and the players anyway).

They'll cave when their wallets get lighter.

I'm going to quote Jim Mandich here. I heard this on his evening radio show on QAM about 15 years ago, but I remember it like yesterday:

Soccer blows. I'd rather watch two guys fish.

5) check out Rugby if you like. Its the father of our game and is available in 3 major leagues : http://www.superxv.com/ or http://www.premiershiprugby.com/home.php or http://www.magnersleague.com/

Also this Fall, in October & November, in New Zealand will be the Rugby Union World Cup..... http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/

point is there are other interests in the world to pursue, other than American Football @ the NFL level
better to be prepared for the possibility of missing a season & think how to best replace

Friend ToddsPhins: garlic, soccer, women & sports (in general) are all good things

Friend KillerPhins:
1) soccer is the most popular sport in the world
2) consider sauteing your testicles in butter & garlic before eating them. if properly prepared, I imagine it might be close to eating snails. you could pretend you are in a fancy french restaurant. remember, this will be a once in a lifetime event for you, whereas the NFL lock-outs & missed seasons are a recurring phenomena we have to live with as fans. better think about it & make the most out of it
3) it is sarcasm oft' sours the milk of human kindness & I'm not posting sarcasm. I'm absolutely serious, everyone needs to develop a back-up plan ( contingencies ) or face the consequences of the imprudent & ill-advised. this season is hanging by a thread & anything can happen

now there's a man with reasonable plan

Kudos!

Hiking, Mountain biking and skiing.

Watching soccer and arena football is like sitting in a dentist chair waiting for your teeth to be drilled!

4) how can the fan-base apply input & pressure on the NFL to do the right thing? this is a rhetorical question, the obvious answer is nothing can be done

Friend NJFINSFAN1:
Hiking, Mountain biking and skiing are excellent pursuits
the conundrum:
getting over a sport addiction is much like getting over a woman.
the best, the fastest & only real cure for a woman is another woman
think about it :yes:
