What happens if we have no NFL this Year??

Well Spring training was to have started already... nothing.

NFL heads are sitting and spinning on what to do.

Players are training on their own with no play book.. Yeah right they don't have a play book.

I saw this tonight .. Ray Lewis on no Football this year??

Ray Lewis thinks crime will increase with no NFL season
By Shane Bacon

Quote:

This all came out from his ESPN interview, and here was exactly what Ray said.

"Do this research if we don't have a season -- watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game."

"There's too many people that live through us, people live through us," he said. "Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I'm not talking about the people you see all the time."

The man has a point. Football fans will have to find other things to do without their favorite game being played if the NFL does decide to go with this lockout, and Lewis is just pointing out facts about this. If any sport or big event was dumped, it would force people to look for other things to do, and I think that's the point Lewis is making here.

Pretty much the same here. Not that I hate it but I never really took a liking to it. I NEVER watch pro sports. I'd much rather watch a bunch of little kids playing ball and having a good time than any college or pro team.

Someone said that they would put Collage football on Sunday's and monday night not the same....We Want Our Football and Drink our Beer at the Sports Bar Cheering our Team and getting into our Rival's faces...We have to have it!!! Football Fans are the Greatest!!!

(Edit to add: Don't even think about it....I'll take care of it. Team Sergeant)

You mean there's something on TV besides SciFi, DIY, National Geographic, Discovery, and History International? :confused:

Nope! It's on the wife's list so I get some bleedover.

I’ll be watching re-runs of Australian Football.

Damn, you food and history guys are boring....

I'm with Mtn Goat on this one. What is life without football? I might as well start a crime spree this fall. :D

The suits at The Tiffany Network must have known something when they moved The Good Wife to Sunday evenings.

As for the gentlemen who have already posted regarding their lack of interest in professional meat heads, I agree on most counts, for most sports.

With the exception of hockey. Any level, any players- I enjoy to watch or play. It's a family thing.

The Packers will be national champions for 2 straight years! :lifter: ;)

Pro football is the only pro sport I watch - it's a family tradition since I was a wee lad. It'll be tough to watch it again :mad:

Hmmmm....

Owners get the tax writeoff on the loss...(probably have insurance top of that as well)

How many cities are dependent upon stadiums as part of a revenue sharing deal?

Vendors get crushed...seasonal employees at stadiums lose their additional income; sports bars lose money...wait staff gets laid off/lose hours; Hotels lose revenue; Nobody goes to Cincinnati, Cleveland or Buffalo.

Players hear a big-huge clocking TICKING as they get older by the moment.

Cheerleaders??? I'll let people come up with their own "most-likely-course-of-action" on THAT one.

At my house? No change.

Was Ray-Ray referring to the criminals/thugs in the NFL, with potential free time?

If the owners are dumb and greedy enough to screw with a winning formula during a recession , their billion dollar stadiums can sit vacant. As folks have said college football is generally more fun to watch.

Watch the Tour de France and then the Fall Classics.
