NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)\u2014Tennessee Titans<\/a> owner Bud Adams is predicting the
\nNFL will play the 2011 season, even if it takes a few months to work out a new
\nlabor deal.<\/p>\n

In fact, he guarantees it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a few months here, but we\u2019ll be playing this year,\u201d
\nAdams said Monday night. \u201cI guarantee we\u2019ll be playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams spoke to reporters Monday night before being honored with a lifetime
\nhumanitarian award by the T.J. Martell Foundation with NFL commissioner Roger
\nGoodell on hand to help present him the award. The 88-year-old owner used a
\nwalker on the red carpet but moved around well.<\/p>\n

Asked what he would say to fans who want football and are sick of all the
\ntalking, Adams said he wants football, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those things that they haven\u2019t been very (much) wanting to
\nwork out a deal with us, but we\u2019ll be playing football this year,\u201d Adams said.
\nI\u2019ll tell you that for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams founded the Titans as the then-Houston Oilers as part of the AFL. He
\ntook part in the merger and relocated his team to Tennessee in 1997.<\/p>\n

Goodell said he would put his money down for season tickets because the NFL
\nis doing everything to make sure the league plays football in 2011. He said the
\nleague wants to get back to negotiations, which is the fastest way to make that
\nhappen.<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t talked to DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFL Players
\nAssociation, and he said that the NFL is prepared to negotiate when asked if
\nthere might be talks before a hearing April 6 in Minnesota in the lawsuit filed
\nby Tom Brady<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> Peyton Manning<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> Drew Brees<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and six other NFL players.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s probably easier to count the nights that I\u2019ve had a good night\u2019s
\nsleep,\u201d Goodell said when asked how many sleepless nights he\u2019s had in recent
\nweeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is you know how important this game is to our fans and to the
\nplayers and coaches and the clubs, and you want to make sure that you do this
\nright. You want to make sure we address the issues that are necessary and to get
\nthe right agreement. You want both sides to feel they have an agreement that
\nthey can live with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
