NFL Lockout Update: Be Optimistic, Be Careful

There are plenty of published reports claiming that there is a renewed sense of optimism surrounding the NFL labor talks. Who knows, they may be right.

The problem is that in labor negotiations we are not a the nitty gritty yet. Yes, there is plenty of money to go around to line every one's pockets but what we don't know is what the owners and players REALLY want from this lockout episode. Are the owners going to stick to their demand to take the first "billion of revenue" of the top and demand 18 games (because the pre-season couldn't be worse)? Are the players going to resist changes in the salary cap and want an agreement that was just like the last one?

In labor negotiations, it great to be optimistic until the final demand bombs drop. If the talks can survive each sides' bottom lines then we will have football. However, if the owners and players still have wild cards to play, then you may want to find other things to do on Sundays in autumn.
