Cba update must read

[TyHillPanthers]

The players will cave or play golf this season.

Is that better?

Sure!

What if we won the super bowl with scabs, and then the CBA gets worked out, we have to cut all of our heroes. Would we hang a banner? Would they get rings? Would records count? Would you cheer and would you buy super bowl champion merchandise?

I am so befuddled.

yes to all... and it would be the toughest ticket ever sold in Charlotte by mid season

[Snake]

cool. bring on the scabs and the two first overall picks

can't have replacement players in a lockout.

See above.

Why is everyone saying "The players are gonna cave". "The players are gonna cave".. What the fug do you know? It seems thats more of a hope for us than what we actually know..

Because for one its there sole income. Number two they only get a few years in the league to make money. Number three they have no healthcare without football.

Ok..they make millions..so they cant support themselves for a whole year off? your second statement doesnt really apply..consider they get a year off, no injuries unless while working out, just a year older..in which if you are working out you should be in pretty good game shape come the following year. #3..again they make millions they can afford some blue cross blue shield healthcare for a single year.

Were acting like they make the same type of cash we do..

I think the players are willing to go the distance on this one..

OK. Did not know this. I feel stupid now. Under what circumstances will replacements come in then. Thanks.

True. But as stated numerous other times, there is a way for the owners to put their best offer on the table and create an impass. If that happens, the players would be the ones to strike....thus opening the door to replacement players.

No one is sure how this will work out. But, your definiitive answer about zero replacement players is incorrect.

[carolinarolls]

Ahh, thanks also.

It looks like I may have been the victim of an over-simplified statement of fact.

Bring on the scabs!

You can forge that. I need something more proofy.

I want you to post a video of him holding two forms of ID with his agent present holding two forms of ID, with his grandmother there to confirm the identity. I want you to be in the background holding up a sign saying "this is for the Huddle" with the date of "March 2, 2011" on it while wearing a Julius Peppers jersey (Minter may be worn if you prefer) and ask him the question relating to the CBA in a British accent so I know it's real and have him answer then write it down and sign it.

I also want his agent to be wearing a suit.

He could do that on any date though. Need a newspaper or something too

The problem the players have is that enough of them are stupid (don't hold your breath), and don't save enough (and I doubt all that many of them know what ENOUGH is) then they'll have no choice but to cave. With there be a lockout/strike... looks like it. That being said, how long is lasts is the real important question.

[paulSM]

BUT... let's say there is a lockout... and we get two first rounders... What happens if we take Newton this year and luck comes out? do you take luck too?

As previoulsy discussed (I guess you chose to not pay attention again), the owners are covered next season in regards to the TV contracts. The networks have to pay next season whether there is football or not. This was one of the things that the players tried to sue the owners over....and lost mind you.

I do not pay attention to your posts any longer. Sorry. If you had read and paid attention, several times I mentioned the fact that the TV companies would sue the pants off the owners for the $4 billion in TV contracts and lost revenues, if the NFL does not put a product on the field.

Now you can be dense enough to believe that the TV companies are simply going to allow the NFL owner to keep $4 billion without putting the NFL product on the field if you like, but just because the NFL owners are guaranteed the money, doesn't mean they don't have to produce. Please tell me you understand this.

I'm pretty sure this will be my last response to your posts. Don't be offended. You're welcome to continue trolling my posts if you like and you can continue to spout off and quote me too. Knock yourself out.

Don't feel stupid. He's dead wrong. Go see the thread on replacement players, where I quoted my law book again.

[Doyle]

Not going to put a whole lot of stock in this.

[carolinarolls]

tv will file suit, owners will show due diligence to put "a product" on the field under the extreme duress of the striking players under the lies of their president.

The owners will win.

Contract or not. TV takes a gamble on rights of a product in hopes to make a profit. There are only so many topics they can whine about and being profitable is not one of them. It is not the responsibility of the NFL to make TV profitable.

If it is proven, and it should easily be, that the NFL has done all it can to remain profitable in effort to fulfill its contractual negotiations now and long term then TV is gonna be left holding the bag for every advertiser they have not secured through the 2011-12 season.

scabs is the key. get the players to strike, *** it. Who cares? open up the recruiting and training and see what you can field. If you are a player under contract for 2011-12, you are ineligible. What do you think of your union now?

A whole new market of advertisers opens up for TV to sell and IMO a surge of interest, excitement, and pride rocks the league and its fans.
