The Stay Is Back On

OK...

ESPN is reporting that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has granted a temporary stay of the injunction and reinstated the lockout, meaning players will now be told to hit the road, and doors to team facilities are being locked this afternoon.

Apparently only ESPN is reporting this.

If true, damn what a clusterf*ck this is becoming...

As tenuous as the labor situation is I'm sure they gave him the playbook before they trotted him out for the presser.

If they didn't then they damn well should have.

Probably, but does anyone know if this means that materials distributed to players will have to be given back? I'm positive that not every player has received a playbook, and I doubt that the temporary stay will allow teams to distribue playbooks to those who didn't get one today.

I know that some playbooks were given out because I read an article on NFL.com mentioning that Matt Moore wasn't given one because he is a free agent.

Owners: "We're rich and want to be richer, dammit!"

Players: "We're rich and want to be richer and have more guarantees after we retire, dammit!"

Fans: "Shut up. You get paid by us. We say play. So play."

Which one of those 3 seems most fair to everybody? If you said anything but "Fans" you're an idiot. Cut it 60/40 in favor of the owners and move on. Simple as that. Owners pay the players, so they deserve the leg up here. But regardless, everybody involved needs to get their heads out of their collective asses and get this poo done already.

    • There was a brief time where many in the fanbase considered if we should seek his services after the dumpster fire that was the Matt Rhule experience had us completely downbad. Such is the result of living with the Tepper's as owners.
    • I know Herniay, gettlegut, shittererererrer, shinkshipsefort never took a awful OL or DL and solved the problems more than one year flukes. The depth is about as good as ever too, Cam Jackson and JHH have been inactive main stays. Panthers have been protecting them for a big portion of the season, cause Im sure some team would claim them. Sam Roberts was like the 10th DLmen and failcons signed him to their roster before week 1 and he's been there since. When teams are signing your 6th string player to a 53 roster, thats a great sign. Its against my rules to judge rookie class in their 1st season, but they've injected this team with talent and energy. 21% change with youth that by the early looks many have enough talent to help the team. Thor was getting starter snaps before his awful injury and he's not included. This group was under Dan and Tils watch, they had to add a 2nd rounder to counter that BY trade. Trade-wise they have been on the clear winning side on all 5-6 of them, the AT one looks arrestable right now. No one bats 1.000 on FA moves, they have bought something to roster. Turk had injuries and not playing at his salary-level, but he's stepping up with leadership and busting his arse in the weight room. Boom is leading too. Rico broke some all-time records and was lava hot leading the NFC in rushing without many snaps. Moehring has upped the talent level and able to play close to LOS while guarding TEs.  They found Brycen Tremayne young perfect #4-5 WR that plays hard on STs. He a great blocker and I think he's can improve to a #3 type role given his young age and work ethic. He was the one that screwed up the WR numbers, no one had him making the team against 9 NFL WRs. The guy just busted his arse and made them roster him. Great under radar find, shame he's not gotten props. Early in the season he caught some big time balls too.  I think for sure they have improved this team and done so with youth. If they get another 12 or so players like this 2025 class in 2026......That may build for the the first time, a team that can go to the playoff year after year.
