It means, unless the NFL and the NFL Players Association can come to an agreement by March 4, there will be a lockout until they do.
But, what does that mean?
It’s simple: it’s all about greed.
OK, perhaps it’s a little more complicated than that. Luckily, I’ve found someone who has broken it all down and explained it in real people terms.
Holden McGinnis, a contributor for the bleacher report, recapped the looming lockout nicely in a blog post a couple of weeks ago.
You can read his full post here … go ahead, I’ll wait …
In his post, McGinnis says, “If a lockout were to occur, there would be major impact felt within the league and also within the country as a whole.”
I agree. I believe too much is at stake to have a full scale lockout with no 2011 NFL season. While there may be a temporary lockout, as neither side seems ready to reach an agreement by the March 4 deadline, I don’t think this will last until the regular season.
In fact, it was announced yesterday that both sides have agreed to mediation. Basically, they're going to sit down and let someone sensible talk to them about coming to an agreement. This is a good sign.
Rest assured, we’ll be watching NFL football on Sunday’s this fall.
Go Browns!
