[Carolina Mike II]

Just make sure you don't get any of that nasty birthmark on your hand. That ish grosses me out.

50%+1

[neverlosethefeeling]

Once the reps vote on it, it goes to all 1900 players, correct?

[CatMan72]

Classic posturing, he wants to make sure the owners understand that the players are in no way desperate to sign off on a deal (even though they are).

Same mentality you should buy a car with, no matter how bad you want it - walk into the dealership and tell them you don't really need or want to buy the car today.

Hm...

Some player reps have departed ... Bengals OT Andrew Whitworth and Broncos S Brian Dawkins among them.

mortreport Chris Mortensen

My interpretation is guys who have left - about 10 - are OK with deal & whatever exec committee recommends.

[Dpantherman]

They do this every other day...

[Ruff]

I just heard on NFL Network, Steve Wyche said that it seems like the owners are ready to vote on a deal, agree on it, and move on. If there's a hang-up, which some believe there is, it's on the player's side.

This is pissing me the fug out.

[Swarly]

lmao at people who continue to buy all the bullshit espn feeds every day about the lockout ending

[SorthNarolina]

blech get it done this better be done by tonight I'm supposed to be out on the boat

[Ruff]

NFL Network is saying that a lot of today could just be the player's actually learning the CBA, and then debating it. Isn't this what De Smith's job is? Tell the guys to accept the deal. Tell them it's the best terms possible. And tell them to sign off, damnit.
