Fantasy Football Season (Lost for 2011) (1 Viewer)

[jacobo_moses]

So whats the point of trying to get ready for a season that will probably miss games if its true that they are saying NFL talks will go into September. This is not a good sign for Fantasy Football lovers everywhere. Sheesh. I guess we are just wasting our times on these fantasy football sites if part or all of the NFL 2011 season is lost. Sorry guys its all about money essentially.

THis was a tweet from

Chad Johnson of the Bengals on the 25th of Feb.

ochocinco For those who don't know the labor talks with the owners n NFLPA= we are nowhere near close to a deal,this will roll into September

NOt a good sign guys. Sorry too many greedy people involved in closing out a deal.

Except that the word seems to be that every single other agent in that meeting contradicts the agent that sent a text to Schefter. Even De Smith said that reports were inaccurate. Other agents have now come out and said that De Smith didn't even talk about the mediation sessions since it would violate the agreement the league and NFLPA made.

In fact, one agent even said that the entire meeting was "chaotic" because all of the agents are panicking. Why are they panicking? Because a rookie wage scale (which both the league and union seem to be ok with in some form) will change the agent model. Since players would have slotted contracts, what's the point of hiring an agent whose specialty is supposed to be getting huge rookie contracts? Wouldn't surprise me at all if the text to Schefter came from an agent at CAA since they're the ones that get the largest number of high first round picks. Those guys have to be freaking out in general. And if an agreement ISN'T struck and the whole negotiation is sabotaged, then maybe whatever results eventually from it won't even have a draft (which would benefit them even MORE). Pure speculation on my part of course.

Chad Johnson also said that Lebron James was going to play in New York, so I have learned to disregard anything he tweets or says.

We're going to miss the first 2 weeks of NFL games. Afterward an agreement and CBA will be finalized that will include an 18 game schedule. Perfect.

I hope they Don't play, I could use a break from FF after decades of gaming. Like a forever break. This could be just the incentive I need.

Have to go with hunt on this one. The time away from your priorities is something EVERYONE needs (father of a child born almost 2 years ago in September). You don't need to watch your team every weekend but a break every so often is necessary. Further, what better way to create a bond between your children than having them watch your favorite teams on Sundays, and have your favorite team become theirs? Or their favorite team become your teams nemesis? Ok, I can think of a few better ways, but it is something . Start em early, start em right!

Congrats on your twins! I bet that is a loadful of work. I don't know if I'll have twins yet, but one is enough. I have 3 others age 4,7 and 9. It's a load of responsibility. I was just getting used to kicking back and taking it easy. I agree that football is a nice distraction. But if it's a lost season, it'll force me to give up the addiction cold turkey. Good luck with your kids, they are a blessing!
