 >:(.  Inevitable though.   NBA and NFL get your you know what together so you guys can have seasons.

Streaming the press conference online and hate the body language from Stern and his friend (forget the other guys name, know he's next in line to Stern).  Gives me the feeling tha this is going to be a struggle and a long lockout unfortunatley.

What a shame.  The ultimate lose-lose-lose for owners, players and fans in the short-term.

I guess this is what you have to put up with when your favorite entertainment product is the product of a cartel and a union.

The good thing, if there is one, is that the season doesn't start for another four months.  There's time for reasonable minds to get together on this.  (Of course, I don't really think that will happen, but who knows?  The NFL is on the verge of labor peace with no games missed, so there's hope.)

Seriously, the NBA and NFL suck for doing this at the same time.  They better not sign an extension for the same amount of years

But what happens to an offseason-of-informed-free-agency-debates deferred?

It's not a lose situation for teams that are losing money under the current CBA.

Just because they aren't paying salaries to players doesn't mean they aren't still losing money.  They've still got plenty of expenses.  Now they don't have anything to sell.
