A Year Without Basketball And Football

We all know it comes a time in any sports where money shapes the future landscape. The problem is when both sides become so greedy that they forget about the people that matter the most the "Fans".

So this spring when the NFL went on a lockout, we all crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. And when top players begin to file lawsuits we knew that the players where really drawing the line in the sand.

The real question going into this years lockout, was how long would the players last before they buckled and caved in. In previous situation the players would become so desperate for money that they would agree to any deal the owners threw at them. To my surprise and many others the players have held up pretty well. Alot of them saved there money alot didn't. But from the looks of things they will come out on the better end of things whether we have a Football season our not.

Now we come to the NBA and everyone knows there will be a lockout. The problem with the NBA is the same greed. The players want to keep the same soft cap that they are operating under. The owners want a hard cap which would basically cut players salary, and take away from Guarantee contracts. With both sides so for apart it looks like the NCAA is about to make alot of money, because college ball will be the only thing we watch this year...
