    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.

    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.

    How much the teams make and how much the players make. This goes into the whole Collective Bargaining Agreement thing. I believe right now it's setup where the players get 60% of the profits, and the teams get 40%. From what I understand the players want to keep it the way it is, and the owners want to reverse it. 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.

    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.

    They should just go 50/50. I'm fairly certain the franchises share part of their profit with the NFL umbrella.

    Sounds very complicated

    I know they will probably reach an agreement (because nobody makes money if they don't), but it's still the most interesting to me.
