Archived Audio From The 4/6/2011 NFL Lockout Discussion

Sticking to the lockout discussion, if you missed yesterday’s roundtable teleconference at Focus.com, you can still hear what Jessica B. Horewitz and I had to say about various facets of the NFL Lockout.  First, a little bit of background on Jessica B. Horewitz, Ph.D., who joined me in the event.

Jessica B. Horewitz, Ph.D., wrote her doctoral dissertation on the revenue structure of the National Football League, specifically the relationship between player costs and team profitability. Since that time, Dr. Horewitz has spent 15 years in the field of economic consulting. She has participated and testified in matters in litigation, settlement, and business consulting, using analytical and statistical tools to assist clients in a variety of economic and econometric arenas.
