Are Labor Troubles Brewing for the NFL?

It appears that the NASCAR-like appeal of the NFL (in that each time has the same amount of money to spend and there's a hard salary cap) might end, and soon. The owners are reported to be seriously considering opting out of the collective bargaining agreement with the players. There wouldn't be any immediate effect, but things could get mighty interesting after the 2009 season.

For the teams with the big bucks, opting out has serious appeal. For those without, well, doormat status could be perenially upon you.
