So finally the NFL figures out how to split up their billions. Now if we could just get Washington to do the same we’d all get some of our sanity back. We have this settlement thanks to the Players legal representation who had enough sense to take out an insurance policy that guaranteed each player $200,000 for the 2011 season even if they didn’t play a down. The players sprung this on the owners last Thursday when it looked like talks were stalling. The owners strategy was always to wait a few games into the season, let players miss a couple paychecks and then expect the players to come crawling back for a settlement. But when the NFLPA showed up with this card in the deck that the owners didn’t know anything about, suddenly talks heated up again and, wah lah, we have football. I think it was one of the greatest “bootleg” plays in NFL history. I would have loved being in the room when the owners found out the players had outplayed them at their own game. So what do you think? Are you ready to forgive and forget and have the NFL. Or has this left a scar on you maybe, and it will be just college football this year. Or are you so peeved with the Ohio State’s of the NCAA that you’ll just go catch a few high school games?
