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

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
