The NBA lockout didn’t garner the same kind of media coverage as the NFL lockout, even though it lasted longer and it stole a portion of the 2011-12 season. I think many fans were just turned off by the millionaires vs. billionaires squabble after seeing it played out for so many months before football finally kicked off. To bring a unique perspective on the NBA lockout I talked with Lamond Murray who was a player during the last NBA lockout in 1998.

Last week I had the fortunate opportunity to ask former Ohio State Buckeye great and Chicago Bears legend Doug Plank a few questions about the recent tumultuous activity at his Alma mater. I also asked him some questions about the NFL. Plank graduated from Ohio State in 1975 and played for the legendary Woody Hayes. He spent 2010 as a volunteer assistant coach for the Buckeyes under then coach Jim Tressel and spent his entire 8 year NFL career with the Chicago Bears. Currently he is a member of the NSCA scouting team.
