When does NFL start to cancel games? What is the master plan?

Commissioner Goodell and pretty much everyone in the NFL is tight lipped about when the season/regular season games may be cancelled due to the strike (sorry "Lock Out").

But here are some options I came up with.

1) Play a 16 game season but eliminate the bye weeks-that saves you one week.
2) Eliminate the week off between the Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl. If anyone out there says "But what about the Pro Bowl" you need to take a hard, long look at yourself in the mirror.
3) Move the SB back 1 week. I understand the NFL and the Colts stadium people have this in the contract.
4) Cut the preseason games from 4 to 2. This plays into the owners hands since they are asking for this and a 18 game season. So this action could a be a precursor to the 18 game season in 2013.
5) Cut the season from 16 to 14 games like we used to have back when men were men and ...ok I am dating myself.

There you go. All is not doom and gloom even though neither side is talking until mid May. I guess those FF mags that hit the stores in June are going to be SOL.

Look for Fantasy Football Almanac 2011 in book stores by the end of May!!!!
