What Would You Do....

If the clock strikes midnight on March 4 and unfortunately there is no CBA deal. There is no football. Probably one of the worst things that could happen to the year 2011. Whether or not who's fault it is *cough Rodger Goodell and pals*, what would you do for a year without football? Oh, and dying isn't an option.

Goodell's official statement: "Sorry I'm such a douche"

Star-divide

Personally, I would watch a lot more Rugby. Although Rugby isn't as popular as Football, Baseball, Hokey, or Basketball, it is often on T.V. Rugby is a sport of skill, speed, spacial awareness, contact, and brute strength. These things also are key parts of football as well. I have spent 6 years playing rugby and I am currently playing still. My position is Lock (the people who are the second row in the scrum), however I can play all of the forward positions(the big and sometimes slow guys who participate in the scrum). My favorite teams are Ireland, USA, and the All Blacks. I like football more because it's a lot easier to follow, and every game is important. In rugby, it isn't super exciting till the World Cup or other tournaments. Most of the Rugby seasons are just test matches, kinda like pre-season, they don't count, but at least they take them seriously. I also think that if there is no football Rugby and other small sports will grow within the United States. But I'd rather see a Eagles game every Sunday.

So what would you do BGN?

P.S. I'm not going to start a debate about which is more manly, rugby or football. But, I'd like to see some of those head to head hits happen without pads and helmets like in Rubgy, oh yeah it wouldn't.

What would you do

If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom?
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice?

Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had?
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad?

Freedom isn’t free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don’t all chip in
We’ll never pay that bill
Freedom isn’t free
No, there’s a hefty in’ fee.
And if you don’t throw in your buck ’o five
Who will?

What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom?
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little ?
‘Cause the only reason that you’re here
Is ‘cause folks died for you in the past
So maybe now it’s your turn
To die kicking some ass

Freedom isn’t free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don’t all chip in
We’ll never pay that bill
Freedom isn’t free
Now there’s a hefty in’ fee
And if you don’t throw in your buck ’o five
Who will?

You don’t throw in your buck ’o five. Who will?
Oooh buck ’o five
Freedom costs a buck ’o five

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard.

Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

Nice post...

…rugby’s a great game. I should know, I’m a former lock myself. If anyone’s interested here’s a video of the best rugby player in the world, Ireland’s Brian O’Driscoll.

One thing you forgot to mention though is that the Rugby World Cup is on this year and it starts on September 9th. Perfect timing if there is a lockout and it extends into the season. I know it won’t replace football for many of you but given the chance it could keep you sane for those difficult weeks without the NFL.

yeah good point

I almost forgot in my worried state about the CBA

If there were no season, it would take away the two of the best parts of fall and winter, watching football and participating in fantasy football.
The Phils should be able to fill the gap until November. After the series, life would get tough.

That's another point about the lockout

I still refuse to watch the NHL. If the NFL locks out for a full year, I’d hold out on them as long as I could.

If the clock strikes midnight on March 5 and unfortunately there is no CBA deal

Doesn’t the CBA expire on the beginning of the 4th? (Meaning, Thursday March 3rd 11:59 PM EST → Friday March 4th 12:00 AM EST)

What am I going to do if there's a lockout?

First off I’ll have to race my family to my room… Upon beating them I’d lock my door and move everything I can in front of my door, barricading myself in. Now here’s my plan in chronological order:

(1) Get the Blue Moon, Bud Light, Malibu Rum, and Vodka I gathered for this apocalyptic event.
(2) Drink it all. Just sit back, cry and hammer down beer after beer, shot after shot..
(3) Curl up in the fetal position in my closet and cry myself to sleep.
(4) Wake up, get naked, emerge from closet.
(5) Get all my knives, lay them out in order of importance.
(6) Take whichever knife strikes my fancy and cut one mark from left to right across my wrist.
(7) Repeat step 7 every day until the lockout is complete.

I’m not kidding.
