A poll from NFL.com I thought looked interesting.
So far on NFL.com these are the standings of the poll:
34%
If Brett Favre will return for a 20th season
24%
The ongoing labor negotiations
17%
If Michael Vick will get traded
14%
Where Julius Peppers winds up (Accidentally left this one out of the poll I created.
12%
Tim Tebow's draft status
Total Votes: 67590
I chose the Labor Negotiations. This is real stuff.. if no deal is reached we all lose. It will be interesting to see what happens.. everytime I hear lockout I think the NHL lockout that lasted for over a year.
Sorry to ask, But what do they mean by "labor negotiations"?http://www.chiefscrowd.com/forums/im...ons/icon11.gifQuote:

It's a complicated subject.
I was wrong, the split is 75% players and 25% owners. Anywhere here is a story about it for ya, Aussie.
Goodell: Slow labor negotiations likely mean no salary cap in 2010
The above would be my order of interest. I have faith they'll reach a deal in the labor negotiations. The MLB strike years back should have provided an important lesson to the NFL as well. It took a long time for the MLB to regain fan support, and I'm not sure it has reached the pre-strike level even yet.Quote:

Sounds very complicatedQuote:
