ElwoodCuse Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Even if a player does manage to save some money from a brief NFL career, health concerns are also a big problem. Especially for linemen. Study after study has shown scary low life expectancy rates for former NFL players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 DeMaurice Smith and Aaron Rodgers Meet with Packer Fans to discuss labor situation. On Monday, Packers players voted to become the latest NFL team to give the union approval to decertify in the event of a lockout. I think they picked Green Bay as one of the first site to personally address fans is that Green Bay is the only team which makes their finances public so is could be easier for the NFLPA to state their case if shareholders were among the group of 300 present.

dfwabel Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 A bump because the NFL today announced a refund policy for 2011 seasonClub seats and PSL refunds will be at the decision of the individual teams, but general admission seats are under the refund policy. Most teams sent out playoff ticket invoiced in the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmr Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 A bump because the NFL today announced a refund policy for 2011 seasonClub seats and PSL refunds will be at the decision of the individual teams, but general admission seats are under the refund policy. Most teams sent out playoff ticket invoiced in the last week.And with that the PR war begins. NFL is going with the "See, we don't want a work stoppage, we would loss money, we would have to refund your money, we are pals" This is designed to counteract the NFLPA's "we are working guy with a greedy boss, we are common folk like you." This is all just PR to try and make the fans turn against one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'm more interested to see how many underclassmen stay in college in order to play versus risk being drafting and potentially not playing.

GriffinM6 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Now that this is happening, I think there will deffinetly be more AFL and UFL on TV. And more College football on NBC and FOX(there's only been one game on NBC this year).But now there's an NBA lockout, Brandon Marshall can't try out for the NBA.

NBC carries Notre Dame full time.As far as the UFL, they do not have a contract in terms what we typically see in sports. They UFL buys their time on Vs. and then sells the advertising. In terms of HDNet, Mark Cuban is a minority shareholder, so he airs the games since he has a premium network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poker outperformed the AFL./Dear God, no Fox college football. Ever. I beg of you. Them losing the BCS contract was a wonderful thing to happen for college football.
