This is basically like the Forum Member Updates, but only sports-related with top stories, news, etc.

Danica Patrick makes her stock car debut today. How do you think she'll do?

Oh my god, I heard about that.
It was his first Olympics, too...

I heard about what happened to kill him, and I immediately decided I couldn't watch the video, that it was too gruesome.

In answering the previous posts regarding the NFL and possible lockout. Owners of the teams are voting or wanting to reduce player salaries in order to afford other costs that are involved in running a team. These reductions are apparently in the vicinity of 18%- which is estimated and not an actual amount. The players association will not sign on this reduction. From what I have heard there are some possibilities, namely one that there will be no salary cap next season or another that there will be a strike or lockout. Nothing is definite as such.

Why does the PA have to sign on for it? The owners just stop giving out such large contracts and the players have to sign cheaper ones if they want to play football, play and simple.
