NFL lockout

[hi_im_god]

the owners make $4 billion on tv contracts in 2011 even if no games are played. they structured tv contracts the last few years in anticipation.

they'll be a lockout.

gene upshaw actually did a remarkable job on the owners last time. nfl players currently get a bigger piece of the pie than in any other revenue sharing sport. i'm sure they know they'll be giving some of that back.

jerry jones and the other large market teams want to press the advantage they have now. small market teams may be the ones that eventually force a compromise but there's no reason to do that until they're actually losing money. nothings going to be seriously negotiated before games are missed. probably a lot of games.
