ALOT of it has to do with how the court decides on the NFL Owners being able to get at the TV Rights $$ for an upcoming season that is in doubt of even being played.

If the Court decides against the Owners having access to that money, the Owners will REALLY be behind the 8 ball. Most have HUGE debts to pay off on a monthly basis and no way to pay them off save for getting an agreement done.

The NFL generates roughly $400 million for a weekend of NFL football. I just do not see either side wanting to jeopardize the Golden Goose.

This is where I'm truly crossing my fingers. As far as I'm concerned this would be unearned revenue on services they have no intention of fulfilling. Take that money away and we will see just how willing the owners will be to making a deal.
