Horst Report's Good, Bad, and Ugly: The NFL

  The Good
   Brian Dawkins and Tim Tebow have been organizing team practices away from the facilities amongst other teams in the NFL.  The players cam continue to practice on their own, even with the lockout continuing.
  The Bad
   Appeals court in St. Louis overruled the players appeal to lift the lockout, mandating a stay for the NFL owners.  Thus putting off further negotiations until the early part of June.
  The Ugly
   As awesome as it was to hear the longer than 3 minute booing of NFL commissioner Roger Goddell, I believe this wasn't a good thing for the fans to do.  Don't wake a sleeping giant.  Yes, I do think that there will be football next year, but Goddell now wants the fans to sweat it out.  Don't expect the first two preseason games to be played, bringing a shortened season, making a stronger statement for the NFL owners to put an 18 game regular season into place for 2012, leaving a 2 game preseason.
   As irritating as this lockout is, it will build the anticipation up, and making the NFL king of pro sports once again.  Like I stated earlier, expect them to start the season late, maybe even taking away games from the regular season. 
   Thanks greedy rich owners, glad you know who is the most important part of your income.

 Sincerely, the fans.
 
   Shua out!!
