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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
