What would we do without the NFL?
about 2 hours ago

NFL owners voted this morning to reduce the length of the current collective-bargaining agreement with the players by two years, meaning it will now expire after 2010. That could potentially lead to a lockout that might threaten the 2011 season.

That got me thinking -- What in the world am I going to write about this morning? Wait, I didn't type that out loud, did I? What I meant to say was, What would the nation look like without the NFL? Here are a few fearless predictions:

10. Millions of men shocked to discover they have a wife and kids

9. Martial law declared to round up loose Bengals

8. Out-of-work head coaches find they even prefer hearing boos to new daily cry of, "Hey genius, why don't you trim the damn hedges?"

7. Figuring they're already "?roided-up, players switch to baseball

6. ABC introduces new spinoff Dancing With Gridiron Stars

5. "Fantasy games" return to Triple-X roots

4. Bookies forced to return to day jobs as NBA refs

3. After spiral into madness, Bill Belichick arrested as peeping tom

2. We could finally stop obsessing about Brett Favre

1. Wait, there'd still be college football, right?
