So you wait until a arbitrator decides to dismiss the Skins/Boys argument to finally get into the fray? I would be outraged if I were a NFL player and had this clown working in my behalf.

I agree with you here.
SBXVII...put up a quote from someone"The catch is that collective bargaining is generally exempt from antitrust scrutiny. However, for an agreement to be exempt, it must be "the result of bona fide arms' length bargaining."
...problem here is DeMaurice Smith does'nt know how to collectively bargain and I think the owners will prove that ....there is something wrong with this suit,the NFLPA is relying on second hand ifo from a bloger,Smith admitted as much.
