Sal Paol: Negotiations to Continue Through Tonight, Breakthrough Progress Made

[stirs]

Jerry Richardson calling a presser soon so he can address De Smith

"CAAAANNNN YOOOOUUU DIIIIGGGG IIIIITTTT"

and then he uses his best Zodism and says "that is all"

[Bj-Monster23]

There is going o be some mad players if they dont get a deal... Especially if the players wont get there paychecks. Can you say riot.

[TruCatzFan]

I already called riots back a few months... I think it will be fans though! Mad at the NFL

[mav1234]

wasn't significant progress reported before and then it turned out all to just be nonsense?

I'll believe it when the players and owners have a new CBA and not a moment sooner...

[CosmoGirl]

What in the hell could Goodell be possibly doing that takes him away from a SERIOUS situation?

Getting out to let real negotiating can be done...

[Montsta]

Meh, call me when a deal is done. Meanwhile, payment #2 is about to be deducted from my account for season tickets. I love spending money on uncertainty. It's like giving a stripper $1,000 in lap dances because she said you were the hawtest dude in the strip club. She is LOLing with her friends all the way to the Waffle House at 4am.

My wife used to be a stripper, so I find this especially funny. So true.

this is all such maddening b.s.

Actually in rereading the stay language and what the judges ruled, by extending the stay they actually tipped their hands that the owners are likely to win the appeal.

To obtain a stay of the order lifting the lockout, the NFL was required to make a “strong showing” that it is likely to succeed on the merits, that it will suffer irreparable harm without a stay, and that fairness and the public interest favor the league’s position.

In finding that the league was able to satisfy the legal requirements for the issuance of the stay, the Eighth Circuit has in many respects knocked down Judge Nelson’s conclusion that the lockout should be lifted. Most powerful in this regard is the quote pasted above. If the Eighth Circuit believes the NFL has made a strong showing of success as to the application of the Norris-LaGuardia Act to the present facts, then the Eighth Circuit necessarily believes that the players won’t succeed on that key issue as the lawsuit proceeds. And if the Eighth Circuit believes that the players have no chance of proving that the Norris-LaGuardia Act permits a court-order lifting the lockout later, the Eighth Circuit will not issue a court order lifting the lockout now.

The owners have the upper hand, so the players will likely have to negotiate with some sincerity.

Can the rookie cap be applied to the current year? You KNOW JR is fighting hard for that if it's possible.

Yes it can. But I think it is only 1 part of a much bigger issue for the owners.

[CarolinaVeins]

What would highlandfire do?

[DaveThePanther2008]

Adam Shefter is about as knowledgeable about legal leverage as he is about animal husbandry. The ruling was about the stay, not the injunction itself which will come 3Jun. So no rushing in for the 3-7 round rookies to get their play books.

Mort is about as clueless as Inspector Clouseau. In fact the owners were court ordered to present a new proposal.

So no change, no movement, no real negotiations. Meh.

Meanwhile our Panthers are getting farther and farther behind each day we can't coach up existing players and rookies.

And one day more I DON'T buy my season tix.. Stick that in your pipe JR..

Instead of only interpreting what you want you should either read a little more or PAY ATTENTION.

The ruling to not lift the stay means the panel is probably going to side with the Owners. Which means the players are FUGED.

I hope you don't go to the games and Bitch about everything that goes wrong.

Negative People... This forum is full of them.
