With rumors of a 2011 NFL lockout looming (it isn't a lockout IMHO until there are no games come football season), players aren't taking any chances. NFL stars are filing for unemployment, learning a new skill, playing other sports, and wilding out.

That's right. After Gilbert Godfrey was dismissed as the voice of the Aflac duck for making fun of the Japan tsumani/earthquake, the duck has been silenced. Until now.
Travel Channel's Globe Trekking host Dhani Jones wants to resusitate the commerical and breathe new life into the awkward sounding duck - with his own. The svelte, (okay - beautifully handsome) Jones explains.
