I one of those guys who isn't too concerned yet about the NFL's lockout. When we get to August and these guys aren't getting paid things will start to come together.
Remember the players don't get paid during the off season. Both sides have their key issues which are holding up the process and pro-longing the lockout. Look at what happened to baseball after their last strike. Attendence and ratings fell. The same could happen to the NFL. Right now the NFL is America's sport. If the lockout continues into the season it would curb mu interest in the game. Then I might only watch Bills games and forget the rest.

The Pirates Playing .500 Ball

The Pirates dumped the Dodgers Monday night 4-1 on 1490 WESB. Pittsburgh has won three straight and is a game above .500 for the first time in May since 2004. Yes, there are better players and pitchers than years past. But, credit Manager Clint Hurdle. He's a baseball man, won with the Rockies and has instilled pride and yes we can in these young Buccos. The hitting is better, the pitching is better andthe overall picture is brighter. The one problem area is defense and if the Pirates can cut down on the errors they can be a .500 team this season. The reason is the manager Hurdle and his coaching staff.

Bills Draft Anaylsis

The Bills needed to get better on defense and five of their eight picks were on that side of the ball.
The Bills got better on the line, with the pick of Marcell Dareus of Alabama, linebacker, with the pick of Kelvin Shepprad of LSU and cornerback, with second rounder Aaron Williams of Texas. The Bills added depth at defensive back with later picks too. Buffalo will be better defensivedly in 2011 and you have my word on it.
