Title: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: ssmith general on March 12, 2011, 04:20:17 AM "WASHINGTON -- Unable to decide how to divvy up $9 billion a year, NFL owners and players put the country's most popular sport in limbo Friday by breaking off labor negotiations hours before their contract expired. The union decertified; the league imposed a lockout.
Ten players, including MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, sued the owners in federal court in Minneapolis. Then, at midnight, the owners locked out the players -- signaling the NFL's first work stoppage since 1987. "We are locked out," union president and former player Kevin Mawae said in a text message to The Associated Press. "We were informed today that players are no longer welcome at team facilities."

Go in for Manning. I'll anchor the line. :lol: Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: ssmith general on March 12, 2011, 04:49:29 AM :'( :'( :'( :'( >:( Remember that movie the repaclements?

I took the snap and ran a sweep and tossed it to our black dude and he ran with it.

"No", he says, "Hemorrhoids; I spent a lot of time on the bench."

Hopefully some day in the future you guys can watch me and the probably the worst team of all time play football. We had 8th graders starting, it was the second year of the program. Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: ssmith general on March 12, 2011, 05:15:02 AM Back on topic, how long do you think it will last?
Will there be football next year? Do they still draft?

That'd be great for jollies. Unfortunately motion pictures weren't invented yet when I played (wink). But we had those leather helmets. Speaking of winks, I miss the small emoticons that fit between lines better. Can't we have both options?

Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: MDB Tide Roll on March 12, 2011, 11:27:36 AM Back on topic, how long do you think it will last? Will there be football next year? Do they still draft? I think it will last until mid-summer. Right before training camp should begin will be when the urgency kicks in. One of the articles I saw yesterday said the only NFL activity that is still on is the draft.

Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: ricky023 on March 12, 2011, 05:07:35 PM I wonder what the draftees are going to think. They will have to find a place to workout all summer. RTR!
Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: MDB Tide Roll on March 13, 2011, 03:21:11 PM I'll look for it again, but I think I remember Julio saying if there was a lock-out he'd be back in school.

Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 13, 2011, 03:35:50 PM I think it is horrible that he had to give up his eligibility. Maybe he at least got some money from an endorsement deal.

Maybe he at least got some money from an endorsement deal. He got a lot of money from the endorsement deal and he'll still be drafted. I read the quote to mean he's going to continue in school to finish his degree and rehab the injury with the people he's comfortable working with. Title: Re: NFL Players File Antitrust Suit Against League as Owners Lock Out Players Post by: ricky023 on March 14, 2011, 02:06:12 AM Yea buddy. You go JJ being smart and good makes for a good player. RTR!
