Will there be an NFL lockout in 2011?

Owners are going to approve a 18 game schedule for 2012...

Now i think that this is going players to push for more incentives for themselves as nfl contracts are a joke for players in that they arent guaranteed like nba and mlb..

Will there be a nfl lockout in 2011, causing some games to be missed?

I think there is too much money lost for the NFL to even risk the games to be missed. I think as the year goes on we are going to see things heat up and a deal get put in place so this does not happen. I couldn't imagine how much money the league would lose on 1 or 2 weeks missed with the money in tv they generate.

I'm hearing both sides are hunkering down.
Hope I'm wrong, but early indicators say yes.

I think there will be a lockout or disruption of some kind. I don't know who's right and who's wrong - just play the game. Both sides make so much money it's obscene, but there are egos involved here so my guess is with a new union head things won't go smoothly. I hope they don't use replacements like last time round.
