If they keep getting unfavorable rulings they could just shutdown as the NFL. They could then start a new league and nothing could be done.

I see. I guess nobody will want NFL stars to join this new league? The average fan is looking forward to scrubs from UFL? Sorted then.

well they'd be defying a court order and would owe treble damages in the billions to the players after it went to trial.

They would also have to pay x amount of dollars to fans who have bought PSL, season tickets, etc., or have a serious law suit brought down on them.

not if they closed up business. This plan has actually been discussed and I wouldn't put it past some owners to close up shop vs giving in to the players esp if the courts rule against the owners.

If the courts rule you gotta do this and that, then close the business. the rulings are on the premise the NFL will continue to run as it has as a monopoly with the current 32 teams in place doing business as they have.

They can always split to the AFL/NFL again.

LOL - you don't shut down a $9 billion business. Haven't all of you heard of labor disputes? Happens all the time in all businesses and it is a game of poker to see which side will bluff. The NFL needs the players and the players need the NFL. This will get worked out but the owners will not let the players set the terms - that is a dangerous direction to go. Do you really want this to be like baseball where a couple teams make 75% of the revenue and have the majority of the good players?

Yea because the average fan would just be thrilled watching Joe Blow throw td passes.

The owners created this mess so it serves them right.

Problem is more liberal judges are going to side with the Union. And give us a baseball version of the NFL; the players lawsuit wants just that, no draft, no cap.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.

      We have attempted several over the past two seasons. Maybe two successful?
