In figuring out the amount of money the owners would lose/save you only have to look at the amount of every dollar the players get then take the salary cap amount for this year to determine the average amount of “income” for each team and subtract the player costs to get operating expenses for the year.
Most teams should be able to cut expenses enough to make it through a season without football revenue since the league has the ability to acquire incredible amounts of money from a variety of sources.
This will work out better than the NHL debacle (giggle “Emmitt” giggle).

The UFL and the NFL may very well be swapping some players if this were to happen. That would make things a little interesting.

This is going to happen in 2 years? So why do any of us care about this today – more over why do any of us care what Batch and subsequently Florio has to say about it today? Find something that is really newsworthy in the NFL to write about Florio or just leave well enough alone and not write anything at all.

Charlie Batch is a class-act and one of the few true leaders of men left in the NFL. Why do you think he was given the backup QB job instantly when the Steelers found out he was healthy…It wasnt cause he stinks. He knows the offense, He has won in the Steelers system and has lost…(mostly with the lions). Players respect him and most of all Big Ben looks to him for guidence. Anyone who says anything bad about Batch doesnt know what they are talking about and doesnt know Batch as a man.
Quote “Said one league source in response to this story, “Charlie Batch should have been locked out ten years ago because he stinks.”….
Who said this Matt Millen? Al Davis?

I’m a fairly staunch capitalist but, if the owners decide on a lockout, I’m voting for whoever moves to (temporarily) nationalize the league.

In the sports world 100% chance of something happening means there is still a 10% chance that it won’t happen.

Wow, Charlie Batch is an owner in the league. When did that happen? Otherwise, how can he 100% guarantee a lockout.

There is no doubt in my mind that the owners will ABSOLUTELY vote for a lockout. It means nothing to them monetarily. C’mon , lets face it, these guys are billionaires 3x over. They all do not rely on their “hobbies” to put bread on the table. It’ll hurt the fans more than anything and the fantasy football industry will take a beating. From the publications to websites, right down to the local watering hole on Sundays, Mondays and Thursday’s too, come late season.
As for the players, I remember when basketball had a lock out and there was Kenny Anderson crying about selling one of his 11 cars so he can put formula in one of his 7 kids mouths.
I love football and fantasy NO DOUBT but, the players union and the players themselves need to realize that 60 someting cents on every dollar is a good deal !!!

doesn’t 100% mean he thinks there is going to be a lockout? There wouldn’t be a 100% chance, there would be a guarantee that it is going to happen.
Regardless, there is a 50% chance of it happening like everything in life. It will either happen or it won’t, it is either a yes or a no.
