Ongoing CBA discussions

Let's hope that we hear today of the temporary extension of the old rules. Otherwise we enter a Cold War phase tomorrow night.

None of us want to see a repeat of 1987, especially SB's. This entire process has to be extremely difficult for everyone involved, especially the fringe players just hopeful for an invite to an NFL training camp as an UFA. In the event of an extended lockout and the decision is made that the early games would be played with replacement players [of which we haven't heard much talk] some of these players could be the one's choosing to cross the line. How will they be accepted team-wise when a new CBA is eventually reached?

With both fans and players being able to interact via Twitter, Facebook and other social outlets available, the longer it takes for an agreement to be reached, the more interesting the whole process is going to become.
