Judge Nelson rules in favor of the players (lockout lifted...at the moment)

[Highlandfire]

They have to go to 8th Circuit appellate court in St. Louis, and there's no guarantee they'll issue a stay.

If they do or don't, until a ruling is made there can be no free agency. You can't let guys go running off to other teams in case the courts rule FOR a stay and FOR the owners.

You will not be able to reverse player moves.

...so right now, the Panthers need to call everyone in and give them a playbook before the NFL gets a stay of the lifted lockout ruling.

[jtnc]

It means she is a fuging idiot. She will be over ruled by the upper courts. The NFL needs to run over and file appeal immediately asking for a stay of her decision.

LOL you mad?

[Dpantherman]

Okay so lets me get this straight.....The lockout is OVER, UNLESS the owners win an appeal. How long will that take?

I like Mort said, could be a week or less.

[Dpantherman]

Pretty sure the GMs would LOVE to have the owners hurry up and decide something so they can make their lives a bit easier with more trade options for the draft.

Was about to say this. Critical that this is done.

LOL, I bet a Panthers staff member is running to a Fedex office right now with boxes of playbooks to ship overnight...

[Highlandfire]

LOL you mad?

Yes. I don't give a rats ass about this season. I want the league to be successful for years to come and if they rule for the players etc then we will lose football as we know it. It will be worse than MLB.

Also this bitch ruled on her personal beliefs not law. the players walked away intentionally and decertified because they wanted to go to court and crush the current system and she ignored this.

Fans like you have no clue. 'I just want football this year' well you will get it and very shortly when it becomes MLB and the panthers will have NO chance at competing for a superbowl, I hope you are happy.

But hey, as long as you get THIS Season that is all that matters right?

[Millions]

You're still on the wrong side....wake up and recognize the owners took us all on this poo boat ride.....

I told you months ago that this was what was going to happen....no federal court is going to allow the owners to damage a $9 billion dollar industry.....not going to happen.

More importantly, does this mean we can trade players?
