NFL Lockout

[EricLeifermann]

If they went with a reasonable rookie wage scale, such as the #1 pick can't make more than $10 million a year and can only have a $5 million guaranteed or something of that nature, because people who have never played a down in the NFL shouldn't make more money than someone who has 3 super bowl rings, the 9 billion should be easy to split up.

Also 18 games is crazy for several reasons including player safety. If they go to 18 games teams should be forced to lower their ticket prices so fans can actually afford to go to games. There is a reason more and more people are choosing to watch the games at home instead of at he stadium and its not just because you get a better view of the actual game, it because people can't afford $200 for a single ticket to sit 50 rows up in the corner with their view partially blocked.
