it's just frustrating as a fan. I have never watched a pro football game live. I was actually planning on seeing Miami for the first time in my life when they go to San diego. Knowing my luck, they will play at the beginning of the season, when there's still a lockout...

They'll get it worked out.
The thing that irritates me too is that the players union caters to the high paid players.
If I were a lower paid player, I'd be freakin' pissed. Other than the top 20% or so, the rest make a modest salary in comparison. So the real problem, as far as the profit split, is the top paid players. For Manning, Brady, Peterson, etc........ to be a part of this I wonder how they look themselves in the mirror?
You also have the owners profit sharing thing that throws another twist in. That's between themselves but teams like the Bills and Bengals who tend to not spend money on their teams really piss off the Cowboys, Redskins, Raiders of the league.
