The Lockout's

    The NFL Lockout is 109, almost 110 days in and Reporters from every saying they expect the lockout to be finished within the end of the month or early next month. The Player Power Rankings are up with Tom Brady ranked number 1 going into the season, I think ESPN experts were in Limbo when they decided this. Tom shouldn't even be the Player let alone the number one QB. But anyways, I think both sides (The NFLPA & Owners) thought that it wouldn't last this long and just want to get the deal done, not caring if they end up going 50/50 on the 9 billion dollar deal. Finally the fans get what the fans want!

    The NBA is on the verge of a Lockout as July 1st is creeping up, and the two sides (NBAPA & Owners) far far far apart from coming close to a deal. The last couple months of talks have been a joke, because they knew they weren't going to do anything until the season ended and then once it ended they just we're not focused on getting a deal done and I would like to see David Stern take a salary of $1 til they get a deal done. The thing I love about this is Teams like the Blazers are trying to save they're free agent players ( Greg Oden who was offered a 8.8 million dollar tender )so they can have them once they resume the season. And the only ones really suffering are the fans they are sending out an SOS and the NBA is acting like they never say/heard it, but hopefully they will. All I can say is  shame shame shame.
