Pre season (games?) are way too boring. One or two would be more than sufficient.

The regular season is 5 months away. Some of you act like the lockout has already canceled games. When do you want the NFL to put out the schedule? When the lockout ends? So if the lockout ends in Sept then scramble to see if the dates are open at their stadiums?

Who cares about preseason?? Fix this labor mess and announce the darn regular season schedule!!

They are killing the fan interest that produces ticket and merchandise sales, but most importantly the television audience they sell to advertisers. The NFL is expected to enter into TV contracts worth 46 Billion dollars as soon as the next CBA is signed. The NFL just assumes we will once again slip back into old modes of behavior, and they have no fear we will not. Let’s just put some fear in them.

The NFL will be watching their draft very closely for any signs of slippage in its viewing audience. Remember last year, when they so proudly announced that the television ratings had increased by 18%, it was a sign that the NFL reached new levels of popularity. Now imagine how they would react if the rating declined by 50%. And if you intend to go to the draft in person, don’t go, let the auditorium be half filled. Support your fellow fans by not acting like a fan. You can watch the results of the Draft on your late night sports report, and these blogs will be filled chatter about the selections. You will know who they are, you will lose nothing, but maybe gain a season. Send a message that the sleeping giant is starting to awaken, and he can not be taken for granted, or ignored any longer. This is only the first step.

Pass this message on, post it to your Facebook page and other blogs, Tweet “Join Fan Boycott of NFL Draft on TV”. Spread the word,

The schedule will probably come out the week prior to the draft.

Honestly, are any of us truly going to be worse off if these pre-season games don’t get played?

Some folks would call that lunacy. Others optimism.

Work on fixing the status of your league before you worry about the schedule for the unwatchable preseason games!

The Lockout continues! As the lockout grows on so does my beard! I am growing a lockout beard and am not shaving until they start playing! Please follow me on twitter @TheLockoutBeard

Pre-Season games are already the most boring part of the year. Why are they making a “big announcement”?

Tell ya what, NFL. The only schedule I want to see if the entire 2011 Regular Season schedule.

And not until the labor issue is solved. Other wise it ain’t worth the paper that it is printed on.

Is this just another case of bad PFT reporting?
