We're officially down the rabbit hole. Ninety days into the lockout and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is now trying to convince fans that the lockout is in their best interests. Thanks, but no thanks.

I say if the players and owners want to play hardball, maybe the fans should too. How about our list of demands for a better NFL experience?
I am no scholar on Anne Frank, but I do know one thing. A professional football player who hides out in his own home so the pesky media can't interview him is no Anne Frank.
I have received scores of questions asking in different forms the following: "How can two courts interpret the Norris-LaGuardia Act in two completely different ways?" Welcome to the law.
The district court's injunction against the lockout will be reversed once the circuit court hears the merits on that issue because of a statute that was designed by Congress to protect unions. Apparently, once a union, always a union.
The NFL received a major leverage shift from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday night with a ruling that keeps the NFL-imposed lockout in place through the appeals process, likely until late June or early July, at the earliest.
I am praying, like every other guy that's been drafted, that the lockout/labor situation will get settled. I just want to get out there and play football.
Some days I think that the worst-case scenario -- no National Football League games this year -- might be a blessing. It would be a year in which we could study those leading American issues that football vivifies so well.
The NFL owners are behaving like capitalists, in the sense that they want higher profits. They just don't want the system of competition and capitalism interfering with their pursuit of higher profits.
HuffPost's Jordan Schultz appeared on 610 Kansas City sports radio last week with host Nick Wright to break down the 2011 NFL Draft. Discussing the D...
With the Eighth Circuit (the Court) set to rule on whether to grant the NFL a permanent stay in the next day or two -- whether to keep the lockout intact until at least early June -- let's press pause and reset where we are in Courtroom football.
The NFL has managed the division between the real and expectations market in a manner that is exactly the opposite of the way we have managed it in business.
As I currently represent two NFL players in their Family Court matters, I wanted to write about how the NFL lockout has had a negative impact on NFL p...
As an NFL player going into my 11th year in the league, one of my goals is to make discussion of childhood sexual abuse a common conversation, and Child Abuse Awareness Month is a good time to do it.
Victory for the players, they can go back to work today. A Minnesota federal judge has lifted the NFL lockout. The owners are appealing.
Traditionally, as soon as the name of Mr. Irrelevant is called, the phone lines begin heating up between teams and the agents of those representing priority free agents. However, due to the lockout, this will not be happening in 2011.
With all this uncertainty over whether the NFL owners and players will get their crap together in time for the season, I've found myself about as frus...
In American capitalism, CEOs are compensated directly and explicitly on how they perform against the point spread; that is, against expectations. This is great for their short-term gain, but it doesn't much help shareholders long-term.
Ultimately, all the legal wrangling and courtroom football of this lockout may defer to the core reality of a good number of players needing to start receiving their checks.
I am not the first US citizen to build a school abroad, but I am vested emotionally in the school and futures of those children. Whenever I see those children, I see myself in them.
