Can anyone tell me how D Smith is in a position to negotiate a CBA. The NFLPA does not exist, right?

1. It exists as a trade association.

2. The judges in MN and MO instructed the sides to keep negotiating, and the owners agreed not to use that as a means to claim that they really haven’t decertified.

Sorry, but it’s illegal to hires scabs during a lockout.

Watching “The Replacements”was one of the worst things that happened to a lot of football fans. It wasn’t a documentary.

give me a break revischrist- I should just let you wallow in your ignorance -Google “don’t trust whitey, see a doctor and get rid of it” and see what you come up with.

Somebody as culturally ignorant as you really has no business commenting on a public forum.

I told you guys not to drink the koolaid until it was a done deal. I don’t believe anything that is reported!! I’ll believe it all when an official deal is done, everything else is just false hope and stories by sites like this to keep us tuned in.

Why expect DeMoron to stop lying to the players?
Won’t he receive additonal compensation the longer this goes on? He has a troublesome big mouth surrounded by five pound lips. A funny shaped head, too. No wonder he always wore those pimp hats.

the players*, as represented by the nflpa*, dont want a free market system.

at first they wanted to dictate terms. the nflpa* still wants to do that.

the players at this point want their jobs back any way they can get them. cant eat bling.

What is this NFL you are refering to?

Honestly, I have found other interests to occupy my time. Who knew radio control truck racing was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!

I’m not a fan of D Smith but some of you guys like oldbyrd calling him a “commie” are hysterical. Is it really that hard to understand that it’s the players who want a free market system,while the owners,those hardcore capitalists, want their own version of socialism.
Some of you right wing nutjobs really need to grow a brain.
And please by all means keep clicking the thumbs up on racist posts like the one by peytonwantsaflag. It shows exactly where most of you are coming from.

I love how DeMaurice Smith sharing an honest evaluation with the players somehow makes him the bad guy.

The St. Louis court needs to finally make a decision and end the lockout.

Every time I hear “Don’t believe the hype” I get the image in my head of Flava Flav screeching that line out, neck-clock waving in the air (like he just doesn’t care!)

Public Enemy = Demaurice Smith?

coincidence?

DeMoron I don’t believe you. However, once the CBA is signed, your blood should seal the deal. Yes, this tool should be crucified. Enough of this piece of crap trying to ruin my football.

I hate De Smith…. I wish the players would just fire this guy and hire someone with a level head. He seems like the kind of guy that is hard to work with…
Please don’t let this be true….

NFL, NFLPA* you just screwed up. Not only have I been catching the NHL buzz during the Playoffs, now I’m looking forward to the draft. By the way I love my new Blawkhawks Jersey I got for Fathers day from the NHL site… Yep that’s right I told the kids no NFL merch. I don’t want to support either side. So now the owners missed out on 52%, and the players 48% of the profit if I would have bought a Peppers Jersey…

Exactly. Nobody wants to poison the talks by leaking that it’s almost done. This could mean something, but it probably doesn’t. Non story. Next topic.

People need to relax. Nobody on either side of a negotiation likes to say that things are “close” until they’re actually done. Too much chance of having it fall apart.

I think a group of players should re-form a union and negotiate directly with the owners. Those who want to be represented by Smith can sit out for the rest of their lives.

This thing needs a woman’s touch. Give me a couple of hours with these guys. I’ll try speaking softly. But if that doesn’t work, I’ll be sure to carry a big frying pan.

That would work for me.
