Recommended Posts

A deal to end the National Football League's lockout is almost complete, according to an NFL source.

According to an the source, owners and players were close to an agreement today to end the lockout, which entered its 86th day today.

I'm kinda skeptic but apparently talks have been going well. If this is true I guess they've been going better than I thought.

This is good news. I heard there was a motion to dismiss the Brady et. all vs. NFL case earlier in the week, and that came on the coattails of details that a settlement was being reached.

I believe the strong arm lawyer tactics backfired like hell on the players, and now they realized they genuinely need to deal, and be willing to accept compromise.

hope this is true...but main story on side of nfl.com says robert kraft says talks are good but have long ways to go.... gah just end it!

Yeah same goes for the PFT article about it, I find it funny that Kraft said that yet The Tribune is a Massachusetts based paper...would be funny if that source was with the Patriots

Edit: Here's the link for the PFT

Well honestly, if the owners and players are stupid enough to leave all the revenue on the table for this year, then they are beyond stupid.

NFL, too, big time with gambling...and we know who runs that business despite what nice front is put on it....and believe me, I gamble anyway, even knowing who runs it.

    • Everybody made too much of that. The CBA and the 17 game schedule is what kills the cohesion we see in teams across the league in the opening games.  You decide, look at your depth and make informed decisions there or you get a an extra quarter or whatever two quarters with your ones.  Teams that are set don’t have those openings as much down the roster to evaluate but that ain’t everybody. It is quandary. I think they need that 4th preseason game back. But as I said, I don’t lay that as the excuse for Bryce to come out looking like he does to start seasons. He has an entire camp. 
    • Hey I said the 1pm west coast team, I said the up down up down and we were due for the up week.  You can’t know what is going to happen. There was a guy that detailed why the league would engineer a Panthers win to bring LA Rams back to the pack in conference standings.  Who really knows, and how much real belief do you have when citing these things? I generally have as much as my superstition allows. It rarely rises to an emotional experience. Usually it is more analytical. In terms of interest. When crazy poo happens and we win a game like today I for sure enjoy it.  I mean you have to think about it, how many times do you connect 2 4th and short situations for TDs? Who does that? That is like the most embarrassing thing for the Rams’ defense lol. That never happens and should never happen.  Expecting it to happen might not be a good plan. But it was pretty great    
    • The defense has mostly stuck to the "break slowly" and get a turnover or two still zero pass rush
