Are you serious? My best guess (after reading multiple threads) would be that it is scheduled for August 30.

That sucks. All we'll be left with is mediocre Football(Pathetic compared to football of the 80's and early 90's) and Basketball that's de-evolved 10 years as far as skill level is concerned.

I'm okay with that.

Less shows I actually want to watch being cancelled in favour of crap ball.

If the idiots don't feel they have enough money, well good for them. They can take their ferraris and go to hell.

As far as I'm concerned the only impact this will have is that crap ball games won't cancel the shows I want to watch...and that's a good thing.

Think they will stay on strike for ever?

Shaq could squish you with one asscheek, Red, while simultaneously making a slam dunk. :)

Replace baseball with table tennis or something worthwhile.

While eating two dozen Krispy Kremes. He's turning into the "Fridge" of Basketball. I wonder how many Free throws he'd make if his life depended on it. He'd die young.

Good. Baseball sucked after the first strike. Pro football sucks. Pro basketball sucks. The only good competition occurs in college ball, those kids play their asses off, not for retarded million dollar contracts, because they love the game.

Baseball = Fun to play. Better be drunk to watch.

I guess we will just have to stick to non-greedy sports gaming and playing baseball in the park with friends. Ohhh well, I can eat a hot dog and play world series baseball in my living room. Yepppeee!!

I think pro football is a great sport, pro hockey is great as well. Very vicious sport. Pro curling is exciting as h3ll.

Aw, you're just bitter because your miracle A's have won 15 straight, and now they aren't gonna get a chance to lose to the Yankees again. :D

(though I fully admit they'd beat the hell out of the Mariners right now) :|

Hey we were one play away from beating them (Damn Jeter) I've been biter about Football ever since they screwed it up with a salary cap. Come on when teams like the Ravens and last years Pats win the Superbowl with less than stellar squads you have to know that something isn't right in the sport.
