CRUCIAL NFL Labor talks resume today... Link inside

[TruCatzFan]

Highly doubtful: but it could be a good sign. Maybe they agreed to everything today and just have to get the paperwork signed by the proper people... You know those guys are closed on the weekends right?

LMAO! The previous paragraph was a crock of poo

[Mother Grabber]

Another week down, and all we have is 'progress'. Lawyers suck balls.

every second this lockout last the nfl pushes the fans farther and farther away.

Got an updated link in today's progress... Here's an excerpt.

Owners and players are getting closer to reaching an agreement on the all-important revenue split, sources told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio. That's the good news, but there is bad news -- there's still a lot of work to be done on the new parameters of free agency, particularly whether teams will be allowed the right of first refusal on up to three of their free agents.

Such a scenario could affect some big names -- Joseph Addai, Antonio Cromartie, Santonio Holmes, DeAngelo Williams -- with big money at stake. According to one participant who was on a player conference call Thursday night with Smith, Smith told the players: "We are close, but we've got work to do and I'm not signing this until you guys are taken care of."

And here's the link:

Sounds pretty encouraging to be honest. More than likely the lawyers are having to perfect the verbiage that wasn't perfect prior to both sides showing up on Thursday and Friday. This should be the final copy of the new CBA minus maybe a few tweaks...

The FA thing with DeAngelo is very concerning to me.

Hopefully this will be our last boring weekend of the year... As far as not having any football news is concerned anyways. I'm thinking they get a deal done by Friday of next week.

Let's all hope so anyways

I'm more concerned about Johnson. Then extending Kalil, possibly Beason and signing everybody else. There's no reason we should lose many free agents if any, unless they really want to leave.

[SorthNarolina]

they need to have fan representatives who will just sit there and behave like they do at games.

BOOOOOOO YOU SUCK *(throws 8 dollar beer)*

Hey look, a whole lot of blah blah blah de blah.

If the two sides don't meet again on their own before July 19, we have no hope.
