and it took a very charismatic commissioner to keep them out of a lockout.
Many have thought for awhile that the NFLPA leader has been way too friendly with the league and it seems to prove a point in the last 2 years or so he has been throwing his weight around.
It's still early so it's hard to know how real a lockout is, but I think it's a little naive to dismiss it so quickly.
Also I think they have squeezed all it can out of their current medium (netowrk TV) and they are lagging behind others such as MLB in terms of developing new revenue streams such as streaming via mlb.tv. It won't help if the pie they are fighting over has stopped growing, which I sense it has.
