Dreaming of 2011 Season


In case you do not follow the world of professional sports, let me bring you up to date. The NFL owners and the NFL players are in a dispute on how to share the revenue generated by the league. The owners argue that their expenses have gone up over the past five years and then would like a bigger share of the profits. The players argue that their long-term health is on the line and they deserve a larger percentage of the profits. It is a case of the billionaires against millionaires.

This morning we learned that a federal judge has ended the owners lockout of the players, which is a move in the players favor. It looks increasingly likely that there will be a 2011 season. This means I will be able to sleep soundly at night, with dreams of James Harrison sacking Joe Flacco dancing in my head.
