The only thing better than the new NFL collective bargaining agreement would be if the letters were changed to MLB. Throughout the five-month NFL lockout, and all of its infernal posturing about how to divvy up a $9 billion pie, no one ever had to debate the general health of the NFL. The NFL drives the American sports public like no other sport in this country. It's not even close. In reality, the NFL squabble was far more noise than it was threatening the game.
America's most popular sport is headed for the courts. The National Football League and its players could not reach agreement Friday on how to share $9 billion in annual revenue, and the collective bargaining agreement between the two sides expired. Now the owners and players will try to litigate their way to a settlement. The battle in court figures to be lengthy and could put the 2011 NFL season in jeopardy.
The inability of the owners and players in the National Football League to agree on how to split up $9 billion in annual revenue has America's most popular sport on the brink of a work stoppage. Business as usual in the NFL is scheduled to come to an end when the clock strikes midnight tonight with the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and its players, represented by the NFL Players Association.
WASHINGTON - America's favorite sport is still in business - for another day. The NFL and the players' union decided Thursday to keep the current collective bargaining agreement in place for an additional 24 hours so that negotiations can continue. The parties have agreed to a one-day extension," federal mediator George Cohen said in a one-sentence statement after the sides met with him for about eight hours. The CBA was set to expire at midnight, which would likely have prompted the first work stoppage since 1987 for a league that rakes in $9 billion a year.
I was thinking: UConn may be losing scholarships quicker than Kemba Walker's first step, but as long as they save one for St. Thomas More rising senior Andre Drummond, the consensus No. 1 player in the Class of 2012, they'll still contend for national titles for at least the next two years. Unless the rules change with the next NBA collective bargaining agreement, Drummond will be a one-and-done -- and we're guessing that will also be the final season for Jim Calhoun, who will then be 70.

Some league officials may be under valuing their players. A league executive recently told CBSSports.com that, "if they don't like the new max contracts, LeBron can play football, where he will make less than the new max. Wade can be a fashion model or whatever. They won't make squat and no one will remember who they are in a few years. That league executive may not realize that without LeBron James, Dwyane [James, Wade], and a hand full of other star players, nobody would be watching the NBA. If they think they have rating problems now, imagine what it would be like without those players. Many sports fans already view basketball as a sport that gets them through the NFL's offseason. So league officials better play ball with the players if they want to keep their product on the court a...

MORGANTOWN - Had Kevin Jones hinted before the season began that it might be his last in college, no one would have been surprised. That the West Virginia junior did it after the Mountaineers' season had ended Saturday, well, that perhaps caught some off guard.
