They'd be absolutely bonkers to let any games be canceled, but both sides seem to be dug in.

The players are basically screwed here. They were ok with the status quo, but the owners want a new deal. But if it comes to a lockout (and I think it will) the owners hold all the power and the money. The players will have to capitulate or they will go broke. The owners have plenty of money and time. The tv networks are also going to get screwed if this run into the fall. The only worry the owners have is the fans turning sour; the NFL is the big dog of American sports, they don't want to throw that away.

Well, I thought they were making progress with the extension in the talks, but I guess not.

I'll be PO'ed for sure, but I blame them all to some extent. This will be decided in court now, no telling how long that will take.

The average player's salary is about what, $800,000? And the average career is three years?

I think I could live the rest of MY life with 2.4 million dollars.
