What ever happened to signing an agreement and living up to it? Seems like the players side is always complaining about the new contract. They were supposedly aware of the clauses before they voted! If not shame on D. Smith their little midget with a big mouth! Be a man and honor your obligations!

You must be from the Alabama section of Pennsylvania. The NFL wants to change the agreement. Learn to read. Better yet learn to question what you read.

The NFL is screwed no matter what when it comes to the way these articles are written. So, instead of the union agreeing to something that arguably helps many of it’s members, they want to play chicken with the NFL & possibly lose that opportunity.

I do agree that the league should drop that item if it totally eliminates the ability to get to an agreement, but Florio, you know that’s not how negotiations work. Both sides take as extreme stances on their sides as they can, as to not look weak, then “if they are smart” they will do some compromising after puffing out their chests.

Just curious. Have you ever had a guessing game about how much Goodell made in 2011?

I usually side with the owner’s.

Here’s a thought — why not just offer the union to make those changes with no strings attached?
==================================

Because the NFL isn’t interested in a partnership with the players, or in their well-being beyond the ability to deliver trucks of cash to Park Avenue.
