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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
