I'm switching to football because there's not going to be an NHL season this year.

The collective bargaining agreement between the owners, the NHL, and the NHL Player's Association expires tomorrow. The two sides (the owners and the league bargain together) are far apart and refuse to make concessions on the main issue, which is a salary cap. Owners want one, players don't, and they're both willing to kill the sport to get what they want.

So, yeah, I'll be watching Football more this year.
