Can someone explain why the networks are going to give the NFL hundreds of millions of $ this year if there is a lockout?

I keep hearing that the NFL will get the tv money even if there is a lock out. That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Ok, someone told me that the way the contract is written, its a loan. The networks pay what is owed, if no games are played, they get paid back, w/interest.

Yes.. the NFL has been preparing for this day for a long time.. the networks had little choice in the matter if they wanted to carry the product as there were other Networks sitting across the table waiting for CBS/Fox to blink to carry the majority of the schedule.. NBC/ESPN were in no position to argue the point if they wanted there slice of the pie.

The NFL Network was a very strategic instrument in this all.. applying pressure if any of the 4 decided they didn't want to met the NFL contract demands.. this clause included.

I blame the impending NFL lockout on the Green Bay Packers........ It has been foretold and prophesied.

Northern wind from 44 31' 9" N will cause the siege to be raised.

With the Super Bowl win, the Packers are the NF L's 666...... the Number of the Beast if you will.

Green Bay Packers Super Bowl XLV .......... 6th seed.... Packers won by 6..... won on the 6th of February...

Green Bay - GM Thompson's 6th season
Green Bay - The signature play for the Packers was an interception returned for the touchdown, a "pick 6"
Green Bay - Aaron Rodgers 6th season as a Packer

and the list goes on and on....

You're right, the pending lock is because of the Green Bay Packers, because the other 31 teams seen how we dominated the playoffs with missing 6 starters, 3 of them key contributors. :)

It's called a forfeit, you should know bout that. lol

Hmmm....gives one pause for thought.

That sounds a lot like some of that nonsensical bullshit babble from that idiot ass-clown SlickVision.

Wonder where he's been lately? 🤔

Hey, if the lockout comes through, and the NFL as we know it ends in a blaze of MLB/NHL implosion imitation, there will be one truth certain:

It ended the way it should, with green and gold hands on the Lombardi and the Vikings 0-4.

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.

Martha Careful (21h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
