The lockouts of the NFL and NBA were major sports news this past summer, luckily the NFL managed to salvage their season just in time leaving the onus on the NBA to find a way to do the same. The detrimental effects that missing games has on the fans can be significant. Major League Baseball had a lockout about 15 years ago that effectively destroyed the massive fan base the MLB had previously enjoyed. The NBA does not want to suffer in a similar manner.
The heart of the matter for the now resolved NFL

In his 25 year tenure he scored more points than any other player in the history of the game, attempted and made more field goals, and played in 7 pro bowls.

With Matt Ryan’s success early in his career with the Atlanta Falcons, the questions is being asked “Is Matt Ryan the next Joe Montana”?
At this point in Ryan’s career the comparison to Joe Montana is a valid one. Ryan has better regular season passing numbers in his first three years in the NFL, he’s led the Falcons to the playoffs two of his first three years, and he’s shown the poise and leadership of a Montana, Manning, or Brady.Didn’t catch that? This explains it. In 2010 Ryan led the Falcons to a 13-3 record and the
