Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
The court will not allow a lockout, so football will kick back in, but the legal battles will continue for a couple years probably. The interesting thing will be to see what rules the teams are required to put in place, be it the last CBA extended, or the last proposal the NFL made.

I'm not sure exactly what the players want besides the owners to open their books, but from what the NFL's statement was at the end of the day today sounded pretty fair as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure the owners want to make their side sound pretty good so I wonder what their leaving out which is keeping the players union from wanting to agree with the offer? |

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
This sickens me. Everyone is a greedy money grubbing @sshat in this business. Try making a real working man's wage.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
After reading the Nfls statement, I can't imagine anyone taking the players side in this.... Maybe the players will revolt against Demaurice smith and designate someone who's not a d-bag to negotiate a deal for them.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
The players make enough money to pay for their own insurance through the NFLPA and they make enough money to put 5 or 10% of their earnings towards a retirement fund. I find it a moot point for 4 mill to be set aside just for them when they are negotiating their own contracts anyway.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
There's a leadership problem, in my judgment. You don't see deals done before absolute Armageddon is on the horizon when that's the way that the sides approach collective bargaining. What we've seen here is an issue where the leadership and the strongest elements within the constituency of the players and the constituency of the owners is insisting on toeing a very hard line, and they've sort of painted themselves into a corner. Neither side wants to blink first.
