I heard on the radio today NBA was in possible lockout, but players do not have much to fight on. What they were discussing didn't fully make sense on the sports talk radio station.

Yeah, I have heard rumblings about an NBA lockout, but I admit to not knowing much about the issues.  Right now, Wimbledon is the center of my sporting universe, so I won't care about any other sport until the fortnight is over.

I believe the Lions will have a really tough team this year!  They have an outstanding couch in Jim Schwartz.  He used to be Defensive Couch for the Titans, and we used to have some awesome Defensive's under him and the couch before him, Greg Williams. Of the two, I think Schwartz's is Brilliant!

They also got Kyle Vandenbosh from Tenn. Titans.  That guy is GOOD.  His motor never stops!

Now as for my team, the Titans!  I think it will be a couple years to get use to the new couch!  Mike Munchak. When Jeff Fisher left it was a shock, but as much as I will miss the Fish, I really believe it was time for a change!  Time will prove whether it was the right thing to do!

I am glad that they released Vince Young!  He definately has the talent, but whoever takes him, DO NOT BOO HIM when he messes up!  He does not take kindly to that!  The new pick QB, Jake Locker, seems pretty much a team player and leader, but we will see!!!!

lmunchkin, I'm going to be straight with you and warn you that I hate the Titans!  I hate Bud Adams because he destroyed the Oilers and moved them to Tennessee.  I had been attending Oilers' games since they started in the AFC; we had season tickets for years, and Bud Adams is the anti-Christ. :rofl;

I do, however, love Jeff Fisher; he was the Oiler's head coach in their last years in Houston.  I wish him well. 

Never did like Vince Young after he made it clear that he felt entitled to be drafted by the Texans just because he is a Houston native.  He's talented but is also a bit of a head case, and after all of the flack the Texans took for drafting Mario Williams instead of VY, I figure the Texans got the best of that deal when all was said and done.

I used to watch Mike Munchak play; he has been with the franchise for decades!  He's a great guy, a real football guy.  He should do well for the Titans.  Bud Adams doesn't deserve him.  Boooooo! :rofl;

Yea I totally agree about Bud Adams!  But Tenn has been wanting a team for years now and we were thrilled when we got one.  I was not crazy about Oilers moving to here, but Texas wanted them gone, so Tenn saw the opportunity, and grabbed it!  Bud Adam's will not be around for very long.  I don't wish him harm, but I don't trust him either.  I believe or I hope he will sell his team, and hopefully take it out of his family's hands.

VY is gone.  We no longer have that problem!  Don't know if Kerry Collins will stay or not, that is up in the air!  He is not a dynamic QB like a McNabb or Vick, but he knows just about all offensives known to man kind.  He could teach new guys the ropes.

I love the Titans!  There are no longer any Oilers left on this team, so now we can become our own Identity.  Only connection to ole oilers is BUD ADAMS and that is all.  I believe he has gotten too old to be relevant anymore!

Yes, Jeff Fisher was definately unique!  Not many coaches would go through what that man has gone through. He has very strong ties to the Nashville community.  He loves Tennessee and has said that he is settled here.  Very active in all charities of all kinds.  He gets former players envolved, even retired players, in every aspect!  They respect the man and are very vocal about it. He is not only a good coach, but he is a players coach! 

When VY did what he did to the man, it shocked EVERYONE!  One thing I will hand to Bud Adam's who was VY all the way, even he said VY has to go.  Then a month later, The Fish, resigned.  When he first came here in '99, he was this quite, handsome young man that was so excited about Tenn. and its fan base. He was exstactic by the responses of the people not to mention the beautiful stadium.  Hey, he took us to the Super Bowl that year!  Even though we lost, he still got us there. 

Then the next year, I think we lost only 1 game the whole season!  Got Number 1 seed, just to lose the first play off game to the Ravens!  Talk about heart broke.  But I could see the ware n tare in Fisher.  He needs the time off

Is there going to be NFL this year or not?  We dropped our Cable service, so I haven't heard!  We stopped local paper years ago!  Anybody heard the latest and let me know!  Thanks in advance!

My husband likes the Ravens because he's an Edgar A. Poe fan.  I'm a Texans fan (not easy) and my husband is a Bears fan.  I think a deal will get done because there is so much money at stake.

How do you feel about an 18 game season?

What are your thoughts about realignment?

The 18 game season with only 2 pre-season games seems ok.  It would not upset me either way. 
NOW... 3 out of the 5 proposed realignments have my NY Giants moving to the AFC East.  I do not like this one bit.  The Giants are one of the oldest teams.  They have rivalry's  that are many years in the making.  I hope this does not happen.  If for some reason it does, I will still hate Dallas. lol

Re realignment, they say that the team most likely to be moved is the Texans.  There are those who think they should move from the AFC to the NFC to be in the same division as Dallas :puke;; they want to create a Texas rivalry.  I can see the logic in that, I guess, but I've been watching AFC football all my life, and the Oilers were one of the original AFC teams, so I'm not thrilled about that.  I don't know why, but no one has called me for my opinion. :P

As for an 18 game season, I don't think I like that very much.  The players are getting bigger and faster, and I think the injuries are growing.  I don't feel desperately deprived at 16 games, plus the post season carries us all the way into February now.  I'd be happiest with only two pre-season games and 16 regular season games, plus the post season.  But everyone wants more money, and again, my opinion has not been sought.

Also, games last longer than they did years ago.  Remember when most games started at noon and the afternoon games started at 3 (central time)?  Well now the late games start at 3:15 because there are so many companies trying to sell us stuff.  I don't think I need 18 weeks of football from noon til 11PM.

I don't think a more blasphemous statement has ever been spoken.   :rofl;

This is why I go out to watch Packers games here in Chicago even though it would probably be cheaper to get DirecTV and the NFL Sunday Ticket (drool)  It would be very easy (and enjoyable!) to sit through both the noon game and the 3:15 game, plus the Sunday night game, and how can you forget Thursday and Monday!  While I would enjoy every minute of it, nothing would get done around the house.   ;D

LOL@cattlekid...I know, I can't believe I wrote that, either.  Let my try to explain...

When I was growing up, we had season tickets to the Oilers for years and years.  The NFL was in my blood.  I'm convinced I was born and raised in the Astrodome.  Then I grew up and went to live abroad, so I missed quite a few years of NFL coverage.  Since I have been back, I have become very aware of how different the game is, at least in the way that it is broadcast.  It is over lawyered, over corporatized, over commercialized, over produced and I find to my horror that it quickly bores me.  If I never see another beer or fast food commercial, it would be too soon.  I think I'm just getting old. ::)

Ready for even longer games?
If an official rules a score (touchdown, field goal, safety or extra point) during a game, the replay official will automatically review the play. If there is any question as to whether the ruling is correct, they will buzz down to the referee and ask him to come to the monitor to review the play. If the replay official confirms the ruling is correct, they will buzz the referee indicating he is clear to let the scoring team attempt the extra point, or kick off if the scoring play was a field goal, safety or extra-point attempt. A coach will not be allowed to challenge the ruling of a score. The intent is to save the coach from having to challenge the ruling of a score and, thus, increase his chances of not running out of challenges or timeouts.

Really?  Really?  Oh, just bring me a pillow and let me fall asleep from boredom.  Just as I said...overlawyered.  I'm beginning to wonder if the lockout might be a good thing; it will give me my life back if there is no NFL season.

Do you ever notice how when officials huddle to discuss something, they get all touchy feely with each other?  There seems to be an awful lot of cuddlin' going on in the huddlin'.  See, these are the things I notice when the rules get so complicated that the officials have to have a UN summit before issuing any kind of ruling. ::)

IN the NFL, get rid of this political correctness crap and playball. When we played sports as kids, we didn't have all this crap and the game was played and done with within 2 or less hours in baseball, football, and probably basketball (wasn't my forteit and only played one season).
 
So in essence, more f'n commercials splashed over the screen or announcers pluggin away for some sponsor. I'd rather watch Sportscenter and just get all the highlights.

Saw on the ESPN ticker at lunch that the Packers supposedly told the players to report to training facility on Saturday.  Packers will neither confirm nor deny the rumor.  NFL says teams not allowed to contact players yet. 

Can we be close to a resolution?!?!?!  Pretty please?!?!?!   :thx;

Player reps convene in D.C. to work through labor details
NFL.com Wire Reports
Published: July 19, 2011 at 12:28 p.m. Updated: July 19, 2011 at 02:03 p.m.

Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller and lawyers for retired NFL players joined labor talks with representatives of owners and current players Tuesday as signs mounted that the league's lockout might almost be over.

The court-appointed mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, also was at the session, his second consecutive day overseeing negotiations at a New York law firm. The sides were trying to close a deal to resolve the NFL's first work stoppage since 1987.

Members of the NFL Player Association's executive committee arrived at the trade association's headquarters in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, hoping to work through the latest round of settlement talks, NFL.com's Steve Wyche reported.

OK, here we go, NFL fans.  What are you all going to be interested in seeing play out this season (other than your fave team's success).  Will the Cowboys implode?  Will Jay Cutler find a personality?  Are the Lions going to be competitive (I hope so!).  Will Reggie Bush's departure from the Saints diminish their chances for success (I don't think so...I think Bush was overrated).  Will Vince Young play anywhere (where is he, anyway?)?  Any other stories that interest you?
