October 16, 2012 Could it be? Is the end to the NHL lockout finally getting closer? The NHL offered the players union a 50/50 split in hockey related revenue, a drop from the 57 percent that the players received in the past, along with a full 82-game season to begin on November 2 (a money saver so teams won't have to refund season ticket holders).
Hockey is back! Hockey is dead!
Today may be the day that we find out which of those statements will turn out correct. The NHL preseason has already been cancelled, and the lockout is about to enter its third week. Stunningly, Friday was the first time the players and the owners have even met to discuss anything since September 15.
I don’t know about you, but to me, April always seems like the start of the upcoming football season. The NFL draft, preparations for training camp, and fans making their predictions.
The threat of a lockout is already putting the 2011 NFL football season in jeopardy. However, if the armored gladiators can't play this fall, a gang of women in lingerie may step in to fill your Sunday afternoon football jones.
That's right, the Lingerie Football League is considering moving their regular season games from Friday to Sunday if the NFL labor situation doesn't get worked out.
Lingerie football is played seven-on-seven, and there is no punting or field goal kicking in the ten team league.  See the LFL in action, after the jump.
