Push of Fantasy FB on NFL?

SO I was thinking that the deadline approaching has been portrayed as players soon to roll over and take what the owners will offer. Sports radio seems to pine that the owners have all the leverage as the "average" NFL player has bills to pay and needs income in the strong six figures not seven.

I was wondering if anyone here knows/could find the effect of fantasy football on the NFL bottom line (if at all?).

The owner position may be "screw you, there's a gazillion scrubs who'd take the opp to play simply to play" (and have the opp to extend to a regular NFL season in the future (for 'regular' pay).

What pull does Fantasy have on such a position? Who is going to draft from a scrub lineup in August, etc.

I know that in my own case, pursuing fantasy is why I actually follow the entire NFL rather than Raiders/Panthers; especially after November. Do I represent a minority or a majority viewpoint in the dominance of NFL in the sports marketing arena?

Thanks!

See? Sports Illustrated Gets It!

Why does UNC get favorable treatment by the NCAA? It's true. Every State and Duke fan knows it. I never felt UNC would really get in trouble for this, even as the accusations get more serious. Stewart Mandel agrees. Remember State fans, in 1989, the NCAA demolished the NC State basketball because 1 player sold 4 shoes and some rich alumni gave players cross-campus rides on rainy days. That's all they proved and the consequences in Raleigh were more severe than what Chapel Hill shall earn.

Oh, by the way, the N&O briefly published the reason that there were 3 plates for one car. They were registered to a Durham used car dealer who is currently serving a Federal prison sentence for money laundering. Not sure why the N&O pulled that off the web but I think it's because they're going to turn this into a two-month expose and it will be revealed as a gotchya.

Hmmm

11 football players in NCAA investigation scored a combined 395 parking tickets with fines exceeding $10,000. Wonder who paid 'em?
