I don't think all the blame can be laid against the owners or the players. I blame the agents. If you haven't seen the crap drew rosenhaus (sp) has been spewing on twitter, its no wonder the players are up in arms. Look at what one of the biggest agents is spewing to his clients.

With the rookie draft pay scale, the agents loose money, the players loose money, but the franchises are protected from the Ryan Leaf's and JaMarcus Russell's out there. There are just some teams that can't draft and linger around the bottom every year. At the current rate of increase, the top pick would bring in over $100M no matter how bad they sucked at the next level.

I say let them strike/lockout. There are thousands of guys coming out of college that for whatever reason are over shadowed that could get a shot at the next level. I would much rather see someone hungry for playing time, vs someone hungry for party time.
