The Official Lockout is over thread/ Done Deal!

One of the things that players ended up saying they didn't agree to that was in the NFL's CBA they voted on, was the Global settlement.

The players want the Anti Trust to be settled outside of this CBA proposal and let court run it's course so those players can get a benefit from it.....

:puke:

That's exactly right. DeMaurice is a Lawyer who wants to win. He's not going to support a CBA that settles everything, because it would mean he abandoned the fight.

The NFLPA have really fuged the game good.

Underhanded, manipulative and downright dishonest move by NFL Owners to publicaly announce their unanimous vote in favor of an "agreement" they hadn't bothered to show the other side with whom they'd supposedly been negotiating in good faith. This should have been bilateral.

The two sides were (possibly) near agreement; there is no need for gamesmanship at this point.

1) FYI- according to the owners they had a hand shake agreement.

2) The players were supposed to be voting Wednesday or Thursday before the owners... but some needed more time ect.

3) It was no surprise, we had heard for days the owners were planning on voting on what they had thursday

4) The owners were all together and showing a sense of urgency to get things done as not to start missing pre season games, and have time for all other off season activities that needs to be done.

5) If the players ratify the agreement, it just shows the the owners only agreed to what has all ready been agreed to by the two parties... the players are just dragging it out some.

6) If you just listen to the players, you will notice they have very poor communications among each other right now. Very poor.

I didn't feel like making a new thread for this. So I'll just put it here.

I just talked to my stepbrother who plays basketball with one of the Raven's backup safeties. He told him that he was supposed to fly out to Baltimore today. But his agent called him this morning and told him not to bother. He was also told that if the deal is not done by tomorrow that it will take another two weeks before anything gets done.

Anyways, that's all he got from him.

Fug. I'm just ready for all this poo to be done!

Funny how the owners ratify a deal and give the players until Tuesday to accept it.

But then make a stink that they didn't stamp it immediately. Even though the players had not seen it and they gave them until Tuesday.

So the players actually take the time to read it, like you would in any negotiation, find it acceptable and are going to ratify it.

Thursday every moron was up in arms that the players were trying to ruin the deal when all they were doing was what anyone would do when presented a final version of a 10 year contract.

Listening to sports radio today the tide has turned back against the owners and their "games."

No surprise here.
