Thank God for Brandon...

or else this blog would probably be dead! With work and a child, I find it hard to update this, especially with no cable so I basically no nothing about sports anymore. Not true, but it feels that way sometimes. Anyways, I want to talk about the possibility of a lockout. Really, I don't see them not having a 2011 season. I think Goodell isn't that dumb, and the players won't want to make $0. I think it comes down to that. Goodell knows that the NFL will lose lots of money with no season, and I think that motivates him to get a deal done. The thing that only makes me 50% positive on that though, is that he knows he won't lose many (if any) fans if there isn't a season. That worries me, because I really don't want a lack of football next fall. What will I do with Sundays? Sofi won't be able to wear her really cute 9 month old Seahawks outfits!

I think the owners are being way too greedy on this CBA, and since they can afford to do it they won't budge. They will still get TV money, and people will still buy their team's merchandise because America loves the NFL.

I don't want an 18 game season, that seems way too long, and I want a shorter preseason. I think we all can agree the preaseason is lame and should be shorter, but 16 games is a lot on the players, and with how many injuries happened in the Super Bowl, it's possible that a Super Bowl winning team could have as many injured players as healthy players. The NFL players career is short enough as it is, now with the added games an 8 year career is as long as a current 9 year career. They lose a season before they turn 30! Ridiculous, especially with them cracking down on concussions...I don't know...just seems so hypocritical.

Sorry for the disorganized view on the CBA...but it's bothering me so I had to write about it...

By the way, did you hear Albert Pujols didn't sign an extension before his deadline, won't work on it during the season, and will be a free agent in 10 months?!? ;-)
