Comments on: NFL, NFLPA* say talks will continue http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/15/nfl-nflpa-say-talks-will-continue/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 23 May 2013 04:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ranger40 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/15/nfl-nflpa-say-talks-will-continue/#comment-1097753 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 02:41:25 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=135799#comment-1097753 I hope these millionaires/billionaires realize that just missing training camp can cripple a small town’s economy that relies on them. I know in Flagstaff Az, Cardinals training camp gives them thousands of fans a day for a month. That is money they cannot get back if the lockout doesn’t end before training camp would start. Hotels, restaurants and bars would take the hit, while the players and owners can get all their money as long as they get back in time for pre season games. It is time to hammer out the details, concede on both sides and get the deal done. The people that support you need you to do it.

Today: “Good news, talks to continue!” Tomorrow: “Bad news, talks may break down.” And on, and on. I won’t believe squat until this thing is signed and the players and coaches are on the field together. They are running out of time to keep this fan for the 2011 season. Until these talks started showing a smidgen of promise, I was getting on with my life with a simple bi-weekly check of this site.

So, I’ll continue with that same approach. If July 4th arrives without an agreement or a consensus that one is coming within a few days, I’m done. I don’t have the time to waste on this league and these players if they cannot get it done with enough time to field a decent product. I think that time is the beginning of July.

Of course, I’m a Fins fan so the whole point is moot, really.

Seems they’re all starting to sense that fan frustration is beginning to morph into fans being just plain old fashioned pissed off.

We need it done in time to have free agency, preseason games and a full regular season. Give me that and there are no hard feelings. Screw me and I am torked at both Players and Owners, I also will not be to happy with De Smith or his partner in crime Mr. Goodell!!!!

He’s doing anything he can to be more like Mark Cuban.

I won’t be optimistic until they sign the dotted line. I made the mistake of getting optimistic yesterday and of course, the lawyers did everything they could to dismantle the talks.

Looks like the players are controlling their own destinies now, instead of being lead into a quagmire by Kessler. Good for them. This deal may get done after all.

Next breaking story: Both sides trying to reach an agreement in time to save the season.
