(First, let me get this out of the way:  If you are anything like me you don’t even care about the lockout anymore.  The last couple of months I try to ignore it.  I act like it is not even going on.  Why?  Because I know it is just a sham.  There will be football this year because the same greed that is causing the players and owners to fight over money will compel them to play when the time comes so that they do not lose any money.  It is simple math. It is impossible for you to disagree.  I dare you.  )
