Who needs the 2011 NFL Draft? Ruling coming on NFLPA's preliminary injunction to lift lockout

I'm hearing Nelson will issue the ruling on Monday. The players are the heavy favorites to win this round.

That doesn't mean the lockout ends right away and free agency starts. Nelson will either issue a stay on her ruling pending appeal to the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis or the loser will get a stay pending appeal directly from the Eighth Circuit. The winner of the appeal gains the leverage.

The Monday before the draft. How's that for drama? :(

IMO, she'll rule in favor of the players, grant the injunction and the owners will immediately appeal.

This is probably what will happen. The Owners will also ask the trial to be moved out of Minnesota once again.

How do they figure the initial winner has the upper hand? I fully expect the lower court judge who represented employees against 'the man' to rule in their favor. The conservative appellate courts will rule for the owners as the law and the situation is on their sides.

Est time line of an appeal will be 60 days at least. Depends on the circuit courts docket already, arguments, etc. You can also bet the NFL will ask for each and every delay possible because time and money are on their side.

Some here scoffed at me when I said I fully expect the season to be forfeit. the owners are dead set on changing how business is done.

The ONLY way I see this getting done sooner is if the majority of the NFLPA* membership says enough and fires their executive committee. The New committee wants to negotiate again with the judge they just did and accept an owner based deal. If so then this ends the lawsuits immediately and Brady, Manning, Brees etal can go suck it. Anyone wanting football anytime soon better hope the 'lesser' players take matters into their own hands and out of the hands of the highest paid.

How many times can they re-appeal the decision?

The losing side can appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court. It won't ever make it that far though. Look I would say 1600 of the 1800 players aren't the big paid players. They will step in and end it with a deal that will piss off the multi millionaire players, rookies and Agents. This won't go on too much longer.

One thing fans need to understand, there won't be free agency any time soon. The second she rules for the players the owners file an appeal and her decision is stayed, meaning the lockout and rules currently in place stay in place

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      You know, there's something about this whole JAG thing that really just drives home the idea that to some folks, these players aren't real people, just names and stats.  Of course, it goes beyond sports. We're a sad, jaded species, us humans.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.
