NFL coaches file brief to support players

[antame]

An Amicus Brief exactly like that has been filed. For some reason I'm not surprised it hasn't turned up on this forum.

Sadly, while googling for it, I stumbled upon this thread on saints report, and holy hell you people are dumber than statistically the dumbest state with an nfl team. People there can read, and spell, and use grammar. They can cite why they think things instead of just pulling poo out of their ass. This allows people to effectively argue with them.

You hicks are worse than Saints fans. And Highlandfire isn't even here yet.

Buppa dup dupduh dup dupduh dup. PLAERYS BOOO OWNERS YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!

Hey I support the owners because I might just be one some day and also I have cuckold fantasies.

Bottomline both the coaches and players are now getting sick of the owners BS. The players just want the same CBA they had for years now and the owners refuse to do it. Owners seem to be the ones causing most of the problems right now. But bottomline bothsides have gone to far and they need to stop acting like a bunch of whining bitch ass kids and go back to the table. All this fighting ain't getting neither group a big edge over each other to be honest.

Absolutely that the players want the same CBA they have had for several years. That CBA was agregiously in favor of the players and the owners signed it ONLY to keep football going.

The players wanting 50%+ of all future revenue (before operating expenses) is ridiculous.

The players never intended to negotiate a new deal. They were never acting in good faith and are likely to get bitch slapped by the courts.

The owners have made two offers (the last of which is a GREAT starting point). What do the players do? Do they send a counter proposal? No, they sling insults and don't even respond.

Owners are trying to to get this resolved...the players just want to litigate.

That really is a main point here. The players were not negotiating in good faith. As I read it, they were sitting at the table with the owners team supposedly considering the owner's last proposal while unknown to the owners, they had earlier filed the antitrust legislation and the paperwork to decertify. The negotiations were a sham process so that the players could avoid repercussions about "not negotiating in good faith". But that is exactly what they have done and continue to do pending the circuit court appeal. Even then I wonder if they lose, if they will appeal that decision as well. For a party that will be irreparably damaged if there is no football, they don't seem in any hurry to get a deal done.
