An internal battle is percolating at some of the highest NFL circles in which some owners are resisting the labor deal they've been trying to negotiate with the players, according to multiple sources. A handful of NFL owners -- at least two of which are from AFC teams -- believe the parameters of the deal being discussed don't adequately address the original issues the league wanted corrected from the 2006 collective bargaining agreement, according to sources. It is one of the primary reasons team officials are being prepped to stay an extra night in Chicago at Tuesday's owners meetings. It's not to potentially vote on a new collective bargaining agreement, as many suspected; it actually is to try to fend off some of the resistance that is mounting from a handful of NFL owners, according to sources. Some of this resistance has caused the NFL to adjust its schedule next week, moving up the time of Tuesday's meeting and prepping teams to potentially have to stay into Wednesday. Source: ESPN
They should keep everyone involved locked in that room and not let them out until a deal is hammered out. Bring in Wayne Brady if you have to.
Seriously? Get the hell over it. Let's stop fighting about money, and let's start playing football. Ignorance is what is keeping this lockout from ending.
i'd guess the bengals and bills....they were the ones against the cba. or maybe the jags, they are hurting financially
It's hard as heck to know who is creating random bullcrap stories and who is telling the truth because any source can say whatever they want and no one can either confirm nor deny it fast enough before the damage is done in the media. Crap, it could be DeMaurice whose heckin' around behind closed doors. All these lawyers are playing games with the ones on the opposite side, too. If these buttholes take the season away from the fans, it will be a devastating hit to the popularity of the game. And a lot of this money they are all arguing over will simply not be there for a good period of time. Screw it, my Mariners are 0.5 games out of first place and University of Washington should have a fun squad to watch this year. I'll be good.
Don't think it's jj or kraft.... It the owners who more from the pie that don't put into it sent from my HTC EVO using tapatalk
Sounds like a group Bill Bidwill would be a proud member of. His probably too old and senile to actually form a full sentence of expression on the matter but I'm sure the owners have some voodoo magic they can yank out their butt to communicate with him. After all, Al Davis looks like he died in 1985 and he's somehow still able to communicate.
