Its almost a distinction without a difference but it lets me hate the owners more who do basically nothing but inflate the market and then complain about it.Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612636032273430201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-41099136549236794572010-11-24T21:08:07.746-08:002010-11-24T21:08:07.746-08:00This has been a great season so far though, in ter...This has been a great season so far though, in terms of parity.<br /><br />Even Buffalo is putting up close games.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501990663273862663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-55604057941520610912010-11-24T15:51:16.241-08:002010-11-24T15:51:16.241-08:00The only good thing to come from a strike or lock-...The only good thing to come from a strike or lock-out, whatever, will be a chance to finally be rid of Bret Favre. First him, then Danny Snyder. Think we could get Ted Leonsis to buy the Redskins;) At least they have a shot at the play-offs this year. And just think, if there is a 'work stoppage' the Scabskins come back. And a chance for a sequel to that movie with Keanu Reeves... Oh please let there be no strike.

I've also played several, including baseball all my life. All are far more complex than anyone gives them credit for; I just give Football the MOST credit for complexity, increased in that regard by the absurdly competitive nature of it on "all sides of the ball" (even in relation to the other sports at their professional level). Another subject to discuss altogether, of course.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-3875395626203805082010-11-23T09:42:48.415-08:002010-11-23T09:42:48.415-08:00I agree that I don't want the NFL to strike ne...I agree that I don't want the NFL to strike next year. Thought unless something change soon I think it is unavoidable.<br /><br />And while I agree football is a complex game, I have to say it is just as complex as an of those other games you mentioned, well except maybe baseball. As with football, the complexity only really show if you are a fan and watch/play the game regularly. Being a basketball player all my life and not really a football fan until a few years ago, I had the same feeling about football as the less complex game compared to basketball that you expressed the other way around. And if you don't think Hockey or Soccer are complex then you are missing many many levels to both games and the strategy and timing behind both.HuronBHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627538019185831412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-32418711153358828692010-11-22T20:58:30.830-08:002010-11-22T20:58:30.830-08:00I'd suggest NCAA instead, but after Cal gettin...I'd suggest NCAA instead, but after Cal getting their arses handed to them against Stanfurd this weekend I'm not sure if I want to. :(Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780564639303405691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-52610887258828415672010-11-22T20:33:10.461-08:002010-11-22T20:33:10.461-08:00I vote we get congress to invoke precedent: http:/...I vote we get congress to invoke precedent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Air_Traffic_Controllers_Organization_(1968)Ghostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612442936351544336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-15272853033603299392010-11-22T19:32:00.120-08:002010-11-22T19:32:00.120-08:00I don't see an NFL strike happening.

The NBA, that's a different story...<br /><br />By the by, you may know this as a Washington fan, if that's Dan Snyder in the NFL women's apparel commercial getting a Redskins jersey tossed at him? This is the same commercial that ends with Alyssa Milano and is run about 10 times every game.Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245451939976361103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-52878439238072642712010-11-22T18:19:08.824-08:002010-11-22T18:19:08.824-08:00I stopped watching major league baseball following...I stopped watching major league baseball following their last strike.
