Step 5: Watch as the TV networks scramble, become scared and put clauses into their new deals IF a strike or lockout occurs.
The result: The owners suddenly are more open to negotiations that give a little back to the players.

I agree with all, except wasn't DSmith supposed to be the shark when they hired him? Seems I remember something to that effect.
I don't fault the players for wanting a little back, I just don't like all the whining now when THEYRE the ones who caved last time. IOW, if you didn't like the idea of Goodell hearing disciplinary stuff, why did you agree to it?
