Decertification

I think one of the "rules" of collective bargaining is that both parties bargian in good faith. Since the NFLPA decertified at 4Pm while the bargaining was still going on, infact while the owners were giving a new proposal, could signal to the courts that the NFLPA was not negotiating in good faith.

I heard both sides were about to agree, but then Cam Newton came in and was like, "I'M A MOTHA fugIN ICON BITCH. fug THIS DEAL."

Then he pulled down his pants and poo all over the paperwork, and called Jerry Richardson a dumbass, whiteboy honkey.

Don't quit your day job. Your comedy is weak.

Because they are claiming financial hardship and attempting to take $1 billion dollars out of the players pockets. They will now be required by the courts to provide ALL the financial information necessary to determine whether they were being greedy or really suffering from financial hardship. If they were not suffering from financail hardship, then they will be wide open for lawsuits. You can't claim financial hardship and then show a profit. It will show that the owners simply wanted more money.

We all lose, but in the end the courts will file in the players favor.

This is true. Jerry Richardson explicitly stated that the NFL is in a 200M negative cash flow situation.

This is, at least in my opinion, a flat out lie.

If someone is going to enter negotiations with a flat out lie its going to be a sticking point for me. If you have the balls to make such a preposterous allegation then back it up.

Otherwise suck it.

I guess he lost his endorsement. No play, no endorsement.

Exactly why mediation was a sham. Litigation was the end game for the players from word go. The 'talks' were simply a PR move by the NFLPA.

    • First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
    • Haha I was still off was thinking of mac jones he has done extremely well this year with basically no weopons as all the 49ers are hurt except for mcaffrey but he is playing slow this year for some reason.
