[CarolinaNut]

[Darth Biscuit]

What?

[pantherfan81]

Yeah it's bs!

[CarolinaNut]

i'm trying to find a tweet or article that confirms it...i don't know what's going on

Figured that would happen after it left Union friendly or should I say trade group friendly MIN.

I thought this was a Steve Smith thread.

I hope Newton already got that playbook:( I was ready for rookie camp and team meetings

[Darth Biscuit]

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.

ahaha imagine if this would have happened yesterday

The NFL would have had to rent the Popemobile for Goodell

[Mother Grabber]

How much do you think he'll sell it for?

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.
