Not much about this has really been in the news? Lack of media coverage is a bad thing for the players.
They are being up-staged by the Wisconsin labor situation, our own Government financial situation and later the Japan earthquake. There's also not much sympathy for either side considering the economic situation in this country. Overall, not many people care about which group of millionaires "wins."
Reality will not really sink in till we get much closer to the actual season, but that assumes that no other events happen to again divert peoples attention.
Is the NFLPA messed up??? Absolutely! In hindsight, the players should have taken what the owners offered in hopes of a better deal next time. Now that NFLPA is de-certified, who has standing to represent them as a group? Labor Solidarity will become difficult absent a collective bargaining unit. The economy is against any "new" league formations, so this could be a very long work stopage.
Maybe BUF could talk the Argo's into playing a couple of games at the Ralph? Payback EH?
