Who needs the 2011 NFL Draft? Ruling coming on NFLPA's preliminary injunction to lift lockout

I'm hearing Nelson will issue the ruling on Monday. The players are the heavy favorites to win this round.

That doesn't mean the lockout ends right away and free agency starts. Nelson will either issue a stay on her ruling pending appeal to the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis or the loser will get a stay pending appeal directly from the Eighth Circuit. The winner of the appeal gains the leverage.

The Monday before the draft. How's that for drama? :(

IMO, she'll rule in favor of the players, grant the injunction and the owners will immediately appeal.

This is probably what will happen. The Owners will also ask the trial to be moved out of Minnesota once again.

How do they figure the initial winner has the upper hand? I fully expect the lower court judge who represented employees against 'the man' to rule in their favor. The conservative appellate courts will rule for the owners as the law and the situation is on their sides.

Est time line of an appeal will be 60 days at least. Depends on the circuit courts docket already, arguments, etc. You can also bet the NFL will ask for each and every delay possible because time and money are on their side.

Some here scoffed at me when I said I fully expect the season to be forfeit. the owners are dead set on changing how business is done.

The ONLY way I see this getting done sooner is if the majority of the NFLPA* membership says enough and fires their executive committee. The New committee wants to negotiate again with the judge they just did and accept an owner based deal. If so then this ends the lawsuits immediately and Brady, Manning, Brees etal can go suck it. Anyone wanting football anytime soon better hope the 'lesser' players take matters into their own hands and out of the hands of the highest paid.

How many times can they re-appeal the decision?

The losing side can appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court. It won't ever make it that far though. Look I would say 1600 of the 1800 players aren't the big paid players. They will step in and end it with a deal that will piss off the multi millionaire players, rookies and Agents. This won't go on too much longer.

One thing fans need to understand, there won't be free agency any time soon. The second she rules for the players the owners file an appeal and her decision is stayed, meaning the lockout and rules currently in place stay in place

      High look overview...

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
