I see the players have been spending way too much of their off time on XBOX or PS3's.

The appeals court has shown them how they are going to rule. They need to stop this silly poo and sit down and sign an offer. The NFLPA can NOT prove perm harm, they just cant.

The players are extending their careers by not being made to workout through OTA's. They are getting extra recovery time, not putting themselves at risk of injury in NFL activities.

As for as free agency, all that would be eligible will still get to join a new team when a CBA is reached. If I were the owners I would say the only party causing them harm is D Smith and their executive committee by not getting a CBA done.

If you want to play, you want players to change teams, cities blah blah blah, call up the NFL, sit the fug down and sign a deal and move on. The last deal the owners gave them before the lockout was a good one. the NFLPA needs to wake up and see they are going to lose and the longer THEY drag this out, the longer it will be before they get paid.

Maybe on their Xbox, not their PS3, PSN just came back up! ;-)

But I agree with the rest

If the NFL owners knew Highlandfire existed, he'd get another dog biscuit for this thread.

Hahahahahaha

He'd be happy to get a scratch behind the ears, or even a look in his direction.

Yet another inflammatory thread started about the minutia little happenings in the court battle.

Of course, the thread being started by Highlandfire means that there MUST be the obligatory extreme bias and over lack of substance or anything really new to discuss.

Can we merge all these Highlandfire threads into one?

[Ricky Spanish]

why are they comparing the NFL to a crappy band? are they saying they bitch too much because they may be on to something with this analogy...

[Captain Obvious]

Players bad...Owners good...I got it.

Just play some damn football already!!!!!

[jherald]

I'm certainly trying to remain positive that we'll have football this year. I'm anxious to see what our boys can do with all of these changes.

Aww poor baby, did the Midol wear off already?

if you ever disagree with anything Highlandfire says and feel the strong urge to respond, just... look at his avatar instead. Then, close the thread so you don't bump it and move on!

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Hooray owners . . . or booo owners. I'm not going to lie I wasn't really paying attention, but the important thing is that we feel strongly about the actions of people we've never met in negotiations that we don't understand.

A cartel is a formal (explicit) agreement among competing firms. It is a formal organization of producers and manufacturers that agree to fix prices, marketing, and production.[1] Cartels usually occur in an oligopolistic industry, where there is a small number of sellers and usually involve homogeneous products. Cartel members may agree on such matters as price fixing, total industry output, market shares, allocation of customers, allocation of territories, bid rigging, establishment of common sales agencies, and the division of profits or combination of these. The aim of such collusion (also called the cartel agreement) is to increase individual members' profits by reducing competition.

uhhhh
