I think a deal is gonna get done, before the season begins.

The owners tough no nonesense stance is why I think this.

A whole season? The players can NOT withstand that kind of financial stress.

32 wealthy, financially sound owners...
who WILL be able to weather a full season..
and are very self ASSURED that they will recover quickly financialy.

Compare that to individual players who will struggle to make mortgage payments
and meet obligations to their families and extended families and entourages.

Sure ... a guy like Peyton Manning will have no worries...
but for every Tom Brady there are hundreds of players who are not financialy
solvent and are stretched thinner than warm butter on hot toast.

NFL players are general not known for being smart with thier money...


This is why I think the players will yield before the lockout.
I expect the owners to give them some concessions...
but I imagine we will see 2 pre-season games and 18 regular from here on out...
along with the rookie salary cap.

I would like to think it will not happen, but part of me thinks that some people are too money hungry for their own good and it will happen.
