Lockout.

Another rough day at the
league office.

As expected, the NFLPA has applied for decertification, which will lead to several months of litigation between owners and the player's association.

At some point, this issue will be solved, but not anytime soon. There's too much money at risk. In the meantime, we'll grow tired of hearing about court proceedings while each side tries to convince the judge (and general public) that they're right.

It doesn't matter, really. In the end, the millionaires will still earn their money for playing a game, the billionaires will continue to make money as if they had a license to print it, and the fans will be the only real losers in this whole scenario.

Meanwhile, Lil' Jed, along with his mommy and daddy, can sit upon the pile of cash already collected from their remaining loyal ticketholders and try to figure out how to build a stadium with virtually no funding. And the folks who wrote checks to renew their tickets will have nothing to show for their money.

Screw 'em. It's baseball season.
