All he is doing is further pissing off the owners and ruining any chance of a CBA being done. I have to think that is his intent all along. The guy won't negotiate in good faith, just wants to push his personal agenda's and demands.

If I am the NFL I send a letter saying that's it, you are going to be locked out as soon as the CBA officially ends in March and they are going with replacement players. Maybe then the players will wake up and can this idiot

The owners are the ones threatening the shutdown, which means no replacement players which means no football.

the owners are saying lets sit down and hammer this out. Smith has been the one being a prick about it the entire time. He doesn't want to negotiate he wants to DEMAND and if his demands aren't met then he wont' even talk to the owners.

There is a way I read that the NFL can fire off a final offer and if the players don't accept then they can either play under it or strike which opens up the owners to being able to use replacement players. Either way the Billionares will always win over millionares. the players really need to get rid of smith and get someone with a friggin clue back to the negotiating table

DeMaurice Smith and the NFLPA are in no position to demand anything. The owners suspended the CBA under a clause in the CBA the NFLPA agreed to. The owners are making the demands and if they aren't met, they lock the gates- pretty simple. Who the $@#& is Smith to be making any demands? He has no bargaining chips, he's screwing with the players' money and he hasno room to do anything but reach.

EXACTLY!!! Before getting appointed to the NFLPA Pres this guy has no real ties to the NFL at all. This is nothing but him and his ego trying to prove something and the facts are he has NOTHING.

The players really better fire his ass and get someone else in there or they are goning to get locked out and not get anything.

The players need to understand, no matter what they are still employees and they can't outlast the Owners.

Yeah! Whaddya mean trying to take away those highly competitive, hard-fought, pre-season games?

I'll be writing letters to the league office if they get rid of those pre-season games. And I'll be even more pissed off if they try to reduce the ticket prices for those pre-season games...

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
