Their best argument…
Judge Nelson ordered mediation.
Mediation is for a dispute.
In this case, a labor dispute.
Judge ruled that labor law did not apply this was not a labor dispute.

No different than the psls. Just a cynical money grab by the big market a-holes (that’s you jimma) trying their best to kill the goose. 9.5 bil just not enough. Can’t get it from the small market teams cuz they’re my partners so I’ll get it from the players end. Mafia bitches all.

Do they realize that the nfl can now offer players say $5k per game with no floor and no minimum. You can watch any of the current players that are middle of the road not offered more than $50k per year to play and they will be screaming. How foolish. I see more siding with owners everyday and it will only get worse.

I guess they were all called back to their stadium and training facility janitorial jobs in anticipation to the doors opening again soon. Now they have to be retrained all over again.

I’m very confident the circuit of appeals (albeit conservative) realize the thousands of jobs that are at stake. This ruling is a good sign, things will begin to progress. Life as I know it will be back on track within 48 hours. OHHHH YEAHHH KOOOOOOL AIDDDDD

Such stupidity has gotten old over the decades.

This was an easy decision. Every lawyer on the planet (and I’m one of them) knew this would be the ruling.

“I could really care less.”

So, you do care? And you currently care enough that it can be dropped down a peg or two.

Appellate courts tend to be sticklers for making sure the proper process is followed, and have a habit of refusing to hear a motion if they feel that a necessary step has been skipped.

Though the words “the lockout is lifted” makes me happy, I still side with the owners; and I am still sick of the overpaid players and their egos.

Until I read the words, “there is a deal, games start on this date”, I could really care less. It’s much-ado about nothing none of us can control.

Wake me up when there’s a deal.

No way a union should be able to decertify, then start back up again, once they get what they want..is manipulation of the labor laws, though legal.

Get ready for the $300 per week waiver pick ups.

Obviously they will get her decision stayed by an appellate court. I still contend we’ll have replacement players, just like 87.

Time for Denver to make a play for Peyton Manning because there are no rules now – each and every player for himself.

So there will be about 20 players making millions of dollars and about 1900 players making $40k.

File this under becareful what you wish for.

The players, the owners and least of all the lawyers could care less about the fans. The players would rather trust their fate to the courts instead of negotiate and the 32 owners want as much money as they can squeeze out of us as they can. They keep raising ticket prices, food and drink, etc just to see how far they can push it. The mediators previously assigned were totally ineffective and accomplished nothing. This is the first real act of courage by anyone so far.

That said, I’ve been wondering if the reason the owners have been pushing for this lockout is because they were well aware of a situation like the one currently happening in Los Angeles with Jamie and Frank McCourt (with Major League Baseball having taken over the day-to-day operations of the Dodgers) could happen in the NFL if there turns out to be an owner who is in a situation where s/he had to do everything his/her spouse/significant other wants or that spouse/significant other turns around and creates major problems for that team. That to me is what could be more than anything behind this rather than the greed many people think the owners have.
