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

[Mr. Scot]

...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.

It'd be a good idea :lol:

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.

No I am not on the wrong side. how are the owners damaging the system? They aren't. If the players get their way it will destroy football as we know it and I for one will stick with HS and college as soon as they get their way.

The system wasn't working, the players are EMPLOYEES, not partners and they need to wake up to that fact. The NFLPA screwed unions nationwide with their decertification instead of staying a union and collectively bargaining. But they don't care. We have a bunch of spoiled punk asses running around trying to 'get theirs' and fug everyone else, including the game in and of its self!

NFLN's Legal analyst was just on saying the NFL is working on filing immediately as they should. The ruling could take a month so no one is going anywhere.

We don't have to sign him right away.. could always sign him after the CBA is reached. at least i hope. i should probably read that article now..

[Highlandfire]

They can't allow player movement, no way in hell. What if they allow movement and then the appeals court rules for the owners and the lockout should have been in place? None of the players should have or would have been moved so now what? You can't undo contracts or move players back.

The judge is a fuging moron

And his agent will say ' my client was drafted before the new CBA, give me 55 million' and he would be right

You sir are the moron.....

google anti-trust laws and do some research.....the NFL owners are learning the lesson the hard way.....the old CBA will fall back into effect until the anti-trust lawsuit takes place next year sometime....so in essence...the players and the judge have allowed football for 2011....

all you need to do is say thank you.

Man bro chill out. Does it matter how this all comes down at the end. No it doesn't. I could careless which side is at fault at this point. I just want to have NFL this season. I think bothside have been way outline on the CBA talks. Bottomline I glad something was done to stop out this lockout for Temp for right now.

[Fiz]

Exactly what I said would happen like two months ago.

Basically the owners have no bargaining power now; they will either be forced to deal or accept wild west nfl..if they get the appeal you can probably kiss negotiations going very well goodbye..the players won't budge when the government is backing them. sure we may get football..it just may not be the way we are used to getting it.
