Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Uh. ... What game? As PFT's Mike Florio suggested, the NFL has once again put the cart before the horse. Florio went on to remind readers that when the NFL unveiled the 2011 schedule in April, plenty of people wondered why the league would do it in the throes of a lockout. When the NFL tinkered with the rules in May, folks likewise shook their heads over efforts to make players safer at a time when keeping them from working is providing the ultimate protection against concussions. All of which prompted Florio to sum up: "If all the effort spent by the league doing things that are premised on the lockout ending were devoted to ending the lockout, the lockout would have ended by now." The league would be hard pressed to argue his point.
