I have been optimistic before (Expecting a deal before the NFL Draft in April) but this time it feels different. I predict a deal by Friday July 15th. If so, then the Hall of Fame game on 7 August will proceed as scheduled and the 2011 NFL season can start on time.
Both sides are rumored to be close to hammering out the details on the revenue sharing and the lawyers have been seen working on the behind the scene issues too.
If they do not have a deal by then revenues from the preseason games start to be missed and that hits everyone in the wallet.
Fantasy Football Leagues...start your trash talking.

Sales of Fantasy Football books down 50%
Sales of both paperback and kindle versions of all of my books are down 50% for the year from 2010. FFers are just turning their back on anything football related until the two sides (NFL Owners and Players) come to an agreement and start the 2011 season.
At that point. free agency can begin albeit an accelerated one!
It should be a fast and furious preseason with training camps starting on 22 July and the first preseason game on August 7th.
Of course, this all assumes the NFL comes to its senses and both parties hammer out an agreement in the next 2 weeks.

This summer is not the same...less zing in the drafts!
I participated in the Fantasy Football Pro Forecast magazine draft last night with 11 other experts (including Maurice Jones Drew). More on that draft this weekend. But I have to admit it was not the same "rush" of previous years. In fact, all of my drafts this year have been that way. Just not the same excitement as in years past. The lockout is "draining" the energy from fantasy football fans everywhere and the NFL owners and players need to realize this and "get her done!"
I am still cautiously optimistic that both sides stop the bleeding and come to a deal before the training camps start on 22 July. If not, then preseason games are in danger and that means real money loss for both sides.
