What I don't understand is that there is a huge opportunity for the union to take alot of money away from the early draft pics and distribute that to the vets, making the majority of the players better off. That and the awful 18 game schedule should give the players lots of room to find something that works for them.

The owners want a bigger piece of the revenue pie - that is what this is about. The players offered to sign a 5 year extension to the current agreement and the owners said no.
I really hope that DeMaurice Smith has been telling the players to save money the day he got the Directors job from the patsy they had before. Some guys will run dry, hopefully enough can save their money to lock out the entire season.
