The one and ONLY good thing about the lockout was no Brett Favre talk. Now that it’s about over, look out!

I’m waiting for De Smith to release a statement saying, “There’s still a lot of work to do”.

What I find incredible is how people got on the players got screwed bandwagon rather than understand these contracts all always give and take. The players obviously negotiated a few stumbling blocks the past two days and its a done deal now. The vote will happen and it will pass tomorrow.

“Skoobyfl,

Did you really just quote a Debbie Gibson song?”

Oh, that’s what that was. Glad Skoobyfl was a fan and remembered. ;- )

Just
End

Season

Whata bunch of clowns disguised as a NFL team!!

Is that a Dolphins fan living in the past I see? I think its hilarious that you’re badmouthing a team that’s been 1 game away from that prediction two years running when the Dolphins haven’t even gotten past Wild Card round in 11 years (and only made the playoffs twice in that time span).

Yay! I can’t wait to watch these over-paid players playing flag-football while talking half of their employers profits.

—————-

Its glaringly obvious you have not learned anything about the NFL during this lockout. This is not a negotiation between employers and employees, its an agreement between partners. The players are just as entitled to profits as the owners, because without them there would BE no profits.

But thanks for showing your blatant misunderstanding anyway.

Oh I don’t know about the biggest gaffe in sports journalism history. I seem to remember a report a few years ago that would probably still take the cake. Something about Terry Bradshaw and dead…

Hey Rosenthal, I know your meaning of gaffe’s in this report is about a snafu, but it is the new slang. Just read it backwards lmao..

Great question and I was thinking the same thing myself. I want to see the supposed language that was “slipped in”. It’s funny to me how the players are saying the owners slipped things in but in the same breat complain because they hadn’t had the chance to read it. Huh?????

Is it irony or coincidence that the greed that caused the impasse seems to be what fueled it’s resolution?

Whatever. Hockey starts in October. And since my Bruins are the Stanley Cup Champs, I could go a year without the NFL.

They worked out the last sticking point of the CBA….it was to increase the amount of times a player can submit his retirement papers and then come back and play. All good to go!!!

who gives a s hhh it.
send them all back to the hood and bring in scabbs.

the only thing players did’nt get is someone to wipe their arses after they crap.
what a joke.
don’t want off season workouts, don’t want 2 a days,
don’t want in season practice.
they do want to play 1 game, fake injury and get paid the rest of season to sit on their asses and cash checks.
just cancel the whole league and get it over with.
what a bunch of pansies.

I actualy think this may be true. Too many people that have been reporting the same story and none of them Flowero.

It sounds like they worked out the final issues.

I wish they were voting today, my nerves would thank them very much.

I cannot wait for camps to open.

I’ll look below at past posts but curious….. Do the owners need to re-vote?

Was their any unfair language that had to be removed from what they votes on Thursday?

I still wonder why most media members spent the weekend stating that the players wanted to read the agreement before signing it like any normal person would. When actually that was only what they SHOULD have said. We all heard them say “We are unhappy here” and “the owners slipped things in.” We saw the twitter comments and ESPN interviews.
