Citing a players union source, Adam Schefter says the players see "zero chance" of any negotiations before April 6th, even if the league came to them with a new offer.

T'would seem they really are betting everything on winning in the courts.

So what happens if they lose?

I will always believe this has been DSmiths agenda from the start.

Players need a player friendly rep.

Owners brought this poo storm on themselves too.

They put the golden goose on the chopping block and DSmith has NO trouble taking it's head clean off.

What happens if they lose, is the NFL Owners get to cram a compensation package down the throats of the players paying as much or as little as they want, and telling them to take a fuging hike if they don't like it. Like any employer can do.

But...but...but... the players didn't walk away from negotiating table right?? They acted in good faith right?? All they wanted was some financial docs right??

LOL. I love the guys who continue to defend these guys when they show time and time again that they are not participating in good faith.

He's a lawyer. Lawyers tend to believe you solve things by going to court.

When I heard the NFL had offered a 'meet you halfway' deal on revenue sharing, I really thought the deal would get done.

When the players walked away without so much as a counter offer, my heart sunk :(

Get the impression that Smith is thinking "See, we got them this far, it's only time before they inch closer to what we want!"?

That's my thing with this...the union seemed to never even counter or compromise on anything. I agree with Pash...I didn't think the union was as committed to getting a deal done as everyone else.

GOOD!

I hope the players stick it to the Owners who were itching for a lockout anyway!

I've had enough of Jerry Richardson stealing from us season ticket buyers.

Tell Jerry to suit up, cause I ain't buyin any tickets for scrubs and arena league players like he put on the field last year.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
