This will be very good for the NHL.
Sorry, the NHL is not, and will never be, a replacement for professional football... at least in the south. Maybe for some northerners, but not for the rest.

In other news, wives across the U.S. dance in the streets.
Ok yeah, that 2nd part does make sense. First I'd heard of it though.yea I was scratching my head on that one too. But this bit makes a bit more sense
Haha! Fuck you Madden games!

Would rather watch the WNBA instead of NHL.
Hasn't Mark Cuban been working on starting up some kind of alternative league with a bunch of other rich guys and backers in some serious cities? This might be a great window for him. Or, heck, arena football even.
Also, just wanted to point out that the Federal judge overseeing the matter (Judge Doty) ruled today that the NFL owners violated their fiduciary duty to the players in 2009 when they renegotiated the TV contracts to insert the "lockout insurance" clause. He has not ruled yet on sanctions, but they could include voiding the clause in question and/or financial penalties payable to the Union.
It's a pretty big blow to the owners' collective leverage.
Stupid question: why don't the owners just hire scabs to play and fire all of the strikers?
That is what I am wondering. I remember when the NFL had a partial lockout once and scabs played like 6 or 8 games.
Well, they sure are shrewd sons of bitches but that's probably how they got money in the first place. It took years for baseball to fully recover from their strike and that was because it was the beginning of the steroid era and baseball was exciting.

the fact that there is an NFL player's 'union' is sickening to me in the first place, and then the fact that it takes care of it's former players for shit - that 'union' money could be much better spent attending to the health-care for former players.
Rookie contracts are a joke - if NFL players can't agree to that fact, what's the point of any of these negotiations? Shame on the owners for letting that go so long - JaMarcus Russell took home 30+ million already - Verhnon Golsten, 22+M - neither could play at all
the 18 game schedule? Only the owners want it - I think it's an awful idea.
think of the cries of the fantasy football world if 2 NFL seasons are cancelled....
