Oh my goodness Joe. At 1st glance I thought it was a body part the public wouldn't see unless you were on a clothing optional beach!!!
All travel for business is cancelled for all 32 teams. All Pro days postponed until further notice. Free agents won't be able to visit prospective teams and scouts will be hamstringed not being able to see draft prospects 1st hand, that's just a few things of hundreds that need to be done at this time of the year, likea minor thing like ticket sales. What about the Draft? It ain't happening the way it's been done in the past. It will look like the old days when it was Pete Rossel, a few reps from the teams and a handful of reporters.
The NFL CBA has been ratified and the vote was yes by only 60 votes. The new CBA is basically for 11 years. I was involved with the CBA between the company and the United Steelworkers of America for over 25 years. We fought hard to get the USWA to agree to 3 year CBA's, they wanted 2 year agreements and we wanted 5 year, no way no how. I don't know about the experience of members of this site but I have never heard of a 10 year CBA. There are freshman kids in High School right now that will be pro's and many will no longer be playing in 11 years. Ridiculous to me that any Union would agree to such a long term, just ludicrous. The owners win on that term alone. A lot can happen in 11 years. All I can think is players do not ever want a work stoppage for their careers especially when multi million $$ salaries will be lost and never be recovered, that I get. I went through 2 strikes that lasted 3 months each. No one won, no one.
