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.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
