Are you ready for some labor negotiations?

Yes, the National Football League held a very nice Super Bowl a couple weeks ago.

Green Bay Packers beat my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers sadly.

It was the most watched TV program in US history.

So everyone in the NFL must be really happy, right?

Well, not quite.

The owners have opted out of their collective bargaining agreement with the players two years early

and they're threatening to lock out the players for the upcoming season.

At issue, money, of course.

The league produced about $9 billion in revenues last season.

The owners think the players get too big a share.

So for now, they're taking their ball and going home.

And the players, well, the players just have to wait.

Honestly, like the key sentence, it's just, if billionaire is fighting to get millionaires.

And when it comes down to it, there needs to be some kind of agreement.

I don't know what side is being stubborn, but I think both sides need to come to some type of agreement and give a little.

That's Brandon Jackson who played the last four seasons with the Packers.

Last year, he made a little over $500,000.

Sounds like a lot of money, right?

But the average NFL career is short and most contracts aren't guaranteed.

So you've got to make your money while you're able.

Plus, Jackson's got two kids with a third on the way next month.
