I expect that if a lockout occurs and lasts any significant length of time at all, I'll be one of those NFL fans permanently lost.

It'll just be the final nail in the coffin. IMO the quality of the NFL product has, despite the numbers, been on a slow decline. The constant legalism re: personal conduct, instant replays, etc., the constant "its just business" refrain, the silly trash talking and celebrations, the utter uselessness of sports reporting, the utter incompetence of announcing and "sideline interviews" and "booth shots," the silly fines for nonregulation socks, etc etc.

Players and owners can fight over their gazillion dollar pie all they want. But I won't be contributing to it.

Any more than I contribute any more to the gazillion dollar pies of MLB and the NBA.

I've got no shortage of stuff in my life I can do on those Sunday afternoons.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I would like to see a link to the study that lead to this estimate. Was it scientifically rigorous? Does it stand up to statistical standards? I'm sure it was commissioned by the NFLPA, but was it conducted by an independent group of investigators?

Hey Nonstopdrivel, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this. Here's a Business Insider article  detailing the economic study by Jesse David of Edgeworth Economics. You can also hear Jesse David discuss his study by listening to this conference call posted at NFLLockout.com. 

It's important to remember that this lockout is bigger than just the people involved in the negotiations. Bar/restaurant owners, hotel employees, stadium workers and many more around each NFL city will be feeling the effects of a season without football. So I hope you all take a moment to check out that study.

You guys hear about Let Us Play day yet? Current/former players and other NFLPA members will be teaming up with fans tomorrow for several Twitter chats, ustream chats, etc starting at 8am ET. So if you feel a little behind the 8 ball on lockout related issues, want to ask the NFLPA questions or just stay as up to date as possible on the looming lockout, make sure you're following @NFLLockout , @NFLPA  on Twitter (using #letusplay hashtag all day, too) and "like" the NFL Lockout  official facebook page.

Here's the official facebook event  for more info on the entire day.

I didn't read the whole article. I got sidetracked by the second photo and spent 20 minutes looking up lobster roll recipes.

But I don't believe there will be a lockout. Simply because no one wants one. Forget the fans. Players, agents, coaches, owners - no one wants a lockout. No one wants to be unemployed for a year. Can you imagine any business in the world ever saying "Hey. Let's stop making money for a year. It might help in the long run..." Yeah, right. There won't be much of an offseason, but the new CBA will be in place by August.

Not to be so gloomy, but the owners actually would still be earning money from the TV revenue (~ $4.5 Billion from the networks  on top of the ~$2 Billion/yr extension for MNF ). All the while, the players don't receive paychecks, health benefits, access to training facilities and the fans don't have anything to watch.

That's why we all need to sign this petition  to make sure the fan's voice is heard on the matter.

I have no sympathy for the NFL, the NFLPA, the NFL players nor the NFL owners. I have sympathy for the fans that enjoy the sport who will be robbed of it and the honest citizen that needs the sport to help their livelihood.
