One thing that I read several times today is that the NFL is bringing financials to the table. Not being able to see them was a big arguing point the NFLPA had.

Even though I don't think they should require it as part of these negotiations, if the NFL is capitulating, maybe some progress is being made.

You mean the owners are bringing financials? The NFL financials have little to do with the CBA and the NFLPA has access to the NFL financials anytime they want.

The owners maybe capitulating, the NFL has nothing to give in to or demand- they're the bystander in this fight.

Maybe the extension is to give the players time to find another union chief and kick DeMaurice Smith's ass to the curb.

It's my understanding that the League Corporation, and the Owners are on the same side in this.

But yeah, I meant NFL owners.

The NFLN Legal analyst says he can't see a deal done till decertification happens and or a lockout and both parties lose money. Who knows.

As for as that prick D smith, he got the job saying he wasn't going to buddy with the NFL or any owners he was going to fight them essentially. Mort brings up the point upshaw could at any time call just about any owner and just talk. With upshaw there was mostly labor peace.

I think the best thing is for the union to punt kick smith and get a guy that isn't going in there just to be an ass and try to bully.

The government involvement - or the threat of it increasing - is probably helping nudge the league in the right direction.

There are few things the NFL fears, but of the monsters hiding under their bed, government involvement is probably the scariest.

It's the threat of going to court and antitrust litigation that's causing any movement. The union has only that card to play and they rightfully played it. They have absolutely no other leverage with owners than to threaten to use the courts. The NFL made it clear they weren't going to negotiate in any meaningful sense.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By CRA · Posted

      in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.

      He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot.

      This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
