Nothing...The likelihood of the lockout is much greater than most people realize...

There will be a 2011 draft, but w/o a CBA in place there will be no signing of draft picks, there will be no post-draft minicamps, no rookie jersey's to purchase.

This new proven head coach/GM that we bring in wont be able to mold and shape his team likely until 2012.

We might have a series of weekends where we get to watch replacement players!!!! oh yeah!!!

In the event of a lockout, we might see players stage their own games or switch to the UFL until a new CBA is reached.

No one on the cover of Madden 2012.

There will be no restrictions on marketing deals or commercials players choose to do. Anything goes. This might actually have some upside

League policies on substance abuse and PED's are out the window. We get to look forward to some of our favorite athletes getting busted on drug charges and/or being jacked up on roids

I thought there already was a lockout...you mean these aren't replacement players????

Hopes dashed away by the cold clutches of reality. You know, the usual.

The same thing people looked forward to this year. Unrealistic expectations from players who aren't as good as some people think. Poor coaching, unless they can most of the guys they have now. Don't worry, there will be people who will say this team can win at least ten games with the players they have. They say that every year.
