Everything I am reading says the lockout ends tomorrow and the players win pending appeals.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?id=6293274

Q: Will Judge Nelson issue the injunction and end the lockout?

A: Yes. There are two reasons to expect her to issue the injunction even though it is the most drastic remedy that is offered in American jurisprudence. Injunctions are granted only in compelling circumstances, and they are extremely rare in antitrust cases. But, even in a court system that is reluctant to issue injunctions, the players have a powerful and persuasive argument. There is little doubt that the NFL is using its monopoly power to extract concessions from the players. There is little doubt that the decertification is real and will be upheld. And there is little doubt that the loss of an entire season is a serious and irreparable harm to the NFL's 1,700 players.

:cool:

Judge may have an immediate ruling, it's not like she's not already receiving pretrial discovery and supportive docs.

Assuming the players win is a bit premature, but hopefully she does issue the injunction and we can get on with the offseason. FA period should start 24-48 hours later according to multiple sources.

Hopefully, we'll know something by the end of the week or early next week. FA will do a lot to shape the draft.

But even if the lockout is lifted we cant officially sign anyone to a contract until a CBA is completed....right?

So, players contracts are no longer void after the ruling?

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      I honestly just don’t think Canales was ready to handle all that goes into being a HC plus play calling (something he was still new to and not great at yet). Idzik will be brand new to it but that’s one of the main things he can focus on plus having a seasoned vet like Bevell should go a long way if they listen to him.  I think a big issue with Bryce will be the locker room seems to have really bought into him. However he plays he seems to have a good head on his shoulder and does well in a leadership role. If they do decide to replace him it will be an interesting thing for them to navigate. I’d assume most players know it’s just business and want to win above everything else.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Idk man…  this feels very targeted and measured.  I think one of them pissed someone off connected to some powerful media types and the person they pissed off had been sitting on this trove of evidence for awhile.  Now they start to leak it in intervals where everytime it seems it has lost steam - BAM!  Right back on the front page.  My instinct would say it was Russini, but she’s already been fired.  So, I think it’s someone who has an issue with Vrabel.  Whoever took those pics knew it was Vrabel, and even if they knew it wasn’t Russini, they knew it wasn’t Vrabel’s fault wife, and yet, they sat in them for 5 years?  And to go a step further, that last observation is a bit naive, because there are even people coming out now that are saying they knew Russini was sleeping with multiple coaches before all of this broke, so they knew.  I think this is about Vrabel. hmmm…  I wonder if this is Glazer bucking bc they set up that competing pool party?
