Updated Title: 8th Circuit Court Grants Stay, Lockout Reinstated

[CRedskinsRule]

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Nelson found the NFL in contempt right after the 1st pick of the draft.

So, does this mean that Banks can return kicks?

(2010 rules in place, not the proposed new kickoff rule resulting in too many touchbacks?)

Does this apply to on-field rules or just CBA rules?

Schefter just tweeted that:

"Players sent letter to owners demainding NFL to start year -- or it will ask for contempt of Court"

2011 NFL Lockout: Player's Association Says Year Should Begin Now - Stampede Blue

Armed guards and stacks of boxes preventing guys from working out? ...lolol What a dope.

Security has picked up at #Titans facility. There's now an armed guard at lot entry. Inside, boxes have been stacked high leading to wt room

These guys don't believe the law applies to them.

Ridiculous. I thought Bud Adams would just stand in the parking lot and shoot the bird to his players as they arrive. Having armed guards are insane.

I can see that old bastard riding around in a golf cart doing exactly that. Having some poor kid drive while he takes shots of Jack Daniels and heckles the players as they arrive.

Says the guy backing the group that is illegally decertifying in order to force the owners into a Hobbesian choice.

Don't get me wrong, I think all are to blame in many ways. But for the players to be suddenly seeking protection of the law on one hand while blatantly circumventing it on the other evokes no sympathy from me.

I call BS my friend.

I understand they want to stand their ground and all, but seriously? that's ridiculous

The owners are starting look foolish. How can they hold the 2011 draft and say the year has not started? Creatively stupid? The draft should be postponed. Can't trade veteran players in this draft and college players that do not get drafted are told to wait. If the Draft was not such a money making media circus the owners would not be so quick to force it through. The owners need to be careful.

After this fiasco, I just can't see how anyone could even sympathize with the owners. I think they are screwing up their own teams by not allowing free agency to happen. Well at least the winners of this will be the players in the draft who are going to have an inflated value because free agency didn't happen.

Guess Bud Adams didn't get that memo.

I would recommend following Schefter and Rich Campbell.

Rich Campbell
NFL will distribute to clubs, likely tomorrow, a "comprehensive set of procedures" governing transactions such as signings & trades.

Hopefully 2nd round picks and later picks may be able to be traded. If this is the case, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see Kolb, Orton, and McNabb traded by tomorrow morning.

[Swarley]

Schefters newest tweet:

"Memo to NFL clubs going out now on how to operate"

I should be studying for finals, instead I'm studying Tweets and mock drafts... I guess it's still studying though!

[Ruhskins]

From Vonnie Holliday:

"Vonnie Holliday
Redskin Park will be open tomorrow for players. Workouts will begin with strength staff tomorrow morning after a meeting with management!"

This should've happened on Tuesday, but good to see it happening at all.

NFL teams plan to open facilities Friday morning | ProFootballTalk

“Judge Nelson said it was up to us to determine how to proceed, and we think in light of the fact that the first round of the draft is tonight, clubs are fully focused on that,” Aiello said. “The best way to proceed is for the veterans to start working out at facilities tomorrow, and then we’ll set up the process of starting the league year, which would include player trades and player signings. . . . No player transactions until we start the league year.”
