Wow, owners and Goddell called back to the negotiator after 8pm last night. Both sides meet again today.

Most of the owners left. It's most likely a meeting to determine whether the deadline will be extended. There is a bit of a cat and mouse game before the deadline. The union must decertify before the current CBA expires or the owners must extend the deadline date to prevent the union from decertifying. Once the union decertifies, then the lawsuits begin. The lockout is really less of an issue than the decertification and the lawsuits. A lockout can be ended, but once decertification takes place the lawsuits will be filed and this thing lingers for a very long time.

I really don't see this meeting today as anything more than holding decertification off until the last minute and making the union rush to decertify later today or extending the deadline for a bit.

Hey, another meeting without the major principals- the owners!

Mara and Murphy do not create a quorum and cannot decide anything without the rest of the owners. The only reason the league is involved is to try to prevent the NFLPA from decertifying, which will only lengthen the dispute between the owners and the NFLPA.

Until we begin to hear about owners and players union reps in the same room- nothing of substance is happening.

      T-Mac or Nalo

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
