Obviously, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith is disappointed with today’s Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that issued a permanent stay of the lockout injunction. But that didn’t stop him from getting off a pretty nice zinger. "As far as we can tell, this is the first sports league in history that's sued to not play its game,†Smith told NFL.com. “Congratulations.†NFL lawyer Jeff Pash was a little more understated. "You don't resolve things through litigation," he told NFL.com. "We've been clear on that. And what we need to be doing is focusing all our attention on the process that's going on here in this building, with the assistance of the chief judge and in serious discussions with the players. We have an opportunity to resolve this matter and get the game back on the field, and that really should be our exclusive focus -- not litigation, not stays or injunctions, things like that. That's not going to solve anything. I'm glad that it came out the way that it did. But it's just one step in a process and we need to focus on negotiation. That's the only way we're going to resolve this." Source: CBS Sports
Sick of it all. Stop all the unproductive banter and talk and put the energies towards negotiating a new deal. It's not a hard concept to grasp.
If they got rid of him I think this would've been over already if not it would have been further along.
