You might as well ask why a dog licks its own a**hole or why Canadians love Curling and Poutine. And in that spirit, we here at Guyism have decided to enter the fray. Sometimes, an athlete can be great and overrated at the same time. Its just the way it is. Its all a matter of context. Whos overrated? Whos underrated? As sports fans, we spend a lot of time asking each other and ourselves these questions. Why? Who knows? Thats not important. In that case, its easy to point out how overrated they are. Sometimes, though, its a little bit trickier. In the end, though, they all have one thing in common – they all have a place on our list as the most overrated sports legends of all time. What makes a player overrated though? Sometimes, an athlete becomes inexplicably famous even though he or she is a big ol butt on the field. This list is about both types, both those utterly undeserving of their fame and those who simply arent quite as great as people make them out to be.

District Judge David Doty ruled the NFL violated the collective bargaining agreement by renegotiating $4.078 billion in television rights fees for owners to tap if no games are played in 2011 because of a lockout.</p><p>The war chest of television money — which would have had to be repaid, with interest, once an agreement was reached — was one reason the union was convinced owners were digging in their heels for a lockout.</p><p>There are still plenty of hot-button issues on the table besides the revenue split.</p><p>•Length of season.

But he grew frustrated with having to pay full price for two exhibition games and chose not to renew this season. “Whatever the rules are, there will be the same rules for 32 teams.”</p><p>From a business standpoint, a lockout would put a crimp on the ability to sell tickets and sponsorships and execute marketing plans. “The players are committed to making sure that does not happen.”</p><p>In the meantime, players will have to work out on their own and hope they have socked away enough money in case the lockout extends into the 2011 season, when they ordinarily would start drawing paychecks.</p><p>“I’m pretty sure no one wants a lockout, owners or players,” said Baltimore Ravens player Michael Oher, who was in Kansas City on Wednesday. That would cut salaries by about 18 percent, even though the clubs are raking in millions of dollars in profits.</p><p>The players received a boost late Tuesday when U.S. The two extra games could generate an additional $500 million in new revenue, according to some estimates, meaning bigger paychecks for the players. “The fans don’t want to lose football.

The Chiefs were 20th, at $965 million; Jacksonville was last, at $725 million.</p><p>“The business of football is probably the best business economic model in the country,” Smith said, “because that $9 billion (in revenue) was generated during the worst recession of our lives.</p><p>“You’re now asking the players to give back $1 billion a year for the next seven years, and our simple question is before anyone would want to write a $7 billion check, what financial information would you think is relevant?”</p><p>Only the Green Bay Packers’ books are available to the union — they’re the league’s lone publicly owned team — but Pash says the players have “complete access to every penny of our revenue, including independent audit rights. The league’s approximately 500 free agents could not sign with any teams, and those who have bonus payments due under existing contracts or salary advances against the 2011 season would not receive them. And such a shutdown would have far-reaching implications in the community.</p><p>Each Chiefs game generates an economic impact of about $15 million in the Kansas City community, according to the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission. As a way to ramp up revenues for both the clubs and the players, Commissioner Roger Goodell and the owners want to increase the regular-season schedule from 16 to 18 games and decrease the number of exhibition games from four to two. But they can’t agree on where to apply the savings.</p><p>•Opening the books. The National Football League is coming off its best television ratings ever. Who’s going to buy a product that does not exist?</p><p>A Chiefs spokeswoman said the team would not comment on the effect a lockout would have, though the club would institute pay cuts for coaches and staff members during a work stoppage. And that says nothing of the effect a Chiefs game has on the psyche of the region.</p><p>“The fans make the NFL machine what it is,” said Rich Bacchus, a fan from Liberty. The fans. The team announced last December it would offer refunds for any preseason or regular-season games canceled by a job action.</p><p>New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told The Boston Globe several weeks ago that if a settlement isn’t reached until Labor Day, or a week before the regular season was scheduled to begin, the ripple effect would be staggering.</p><p>“We collectively would lose a billion dollars, even if we played every game but we had this vacuum from the end of the season until the beginning of September,” Kraft said. If the two parties don’t agree to extend the deadline, the players will be locked out of their teams’ facilities. 8.</p><p>“The problem is Goodell and Smith are labor leaders who toe the line until they get every last penny they can,” Roberts said last month.</p><p>The NFL’s Pash said Wednesday it’s possible they could extend the deadline.</p><p>“If you’re making progress, you can stop the clock,” he said. More people — 111 million — watched last month’s Super Bowl than any program in television history.</p><p>But at 11 tonight Central time, the world’s most successful professional sports league is expected to come to a grinding halt.</p><p>As debate over public employee unions rages in state capitals, the NFL faces its own labor issues: The league’s collective bargaining agreement with the players association expires this evening. There’s no disagreement margins are shrinking … that costs are going up faster than revenues.”</p><p>•••</p><p>Both the league and its players agree on another factor in this drama. Roberts, dean of the Indiana University Law School-Indianapolis and an expert in sports law, expects the lack of a new agreement to cut into the preseason and potentially extend into the regular season. The owners and players agree that they’d like to implement a rookie salary scale similar to the NBA’s, rather than hand out signing bonuses of up to $50 million to first-round picks who have yet to play an NFL game. </p><p>It’s hard to sympathize with owners playing in taxpayer-built stadiums in communities like Kansas City and just as hard to relate to players making million-dollar salaries.</p><p>Bacchus, the fan from Liberty, was a Chiefs season ticket holder for 10 years. “However, we have no union to represent us even though we fund and pay for the entire operation. I have no sympathy for either the players or the owners.”</p><p>The major issue on the table is, of course, money, and how to divide $9 billion in revenue among clubs and players.</p><p> •••</p><p>In the event of a lockout, players would not be allowed to participate in offseason training at practice facilities nor attend offseason practices and mini-camps. </p><p>“It’s one of those things I don’t spend time worrying about or thinking about,” Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said when asked how a lockout would limit his ability to improve his team.
