If you go back and read this thread, you see a bunch of idiots trying to impress the other idiots into thinking they are smart by pointing out idiotic opinions. Should someone submit a typo, that is inexcusable to the idiot who doesn't know he has not fooled his peers, so they find it their responsibility to point it out sarcastically.

Dumbaces, stick to the topic or shut it. I get tired of reading through the moronic trash talk over a misplaced semicolon or a spelling mistake. We get it. you passed middle school. Impressive.

This post should serve as a metaphorical bug zapper to the moth brains looking for something to attack in hopes others think they are actually butterflies.

Reports are that the talk is slow...

Sal Paolantonio of ESPN reports that progress is slow, and that the first week of the preseason could now be in jeopardy.

Per Paolantonio, lawyers haggled Tuesday regarding the terms of a rookie wage scale and a revised drug program. Citing two unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the talks, disagreement still exists on the key issues of dividing revenues and defining “all revenue.”

The news should come as no huge surprise, given that only the lawyers are present. Without Commissioner Roger Goodell, NFLPA* executive director DeMaurice Smith, mediator Arthur Boylan, the owners, or the key players, the lawyers are unlikely to make much progress.

fwiw, from the linked article...

interesting from jim trotter..

Damn. Not sure if this is good news or bad news. Anything coming out of Redskins Park is usually incorrect. They haven't gotten much right in the last decade.

yeah, the guy didn't seem to think he believed it either but still thought he should pass it on.

Thank you for illustrating my point. Dumbace is nothing less spectacular than fugger. Use your imagination--or borrow one.

How am I illustrating your point when u were referring to people that make time to correct people that make typos? I am not one of those people that were obviously just making a joke. Whats really wrong? U can tell Uncle Veins...

mid day report from breer with nothing new in it...

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d820a33a1/article/lawyers-address-details-language-issues-in-labor-talks

only thing of interest were things said about the mediator, boylan and his role...

The "guts" of the major issues in this case, most notably the revenue split, will be handled by owners and players, as well as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith, who are scheduled to arrive Thursday. U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, described by one source as a "rock" for the parties in this process, also will re-join talks then.

.

.

.

Lawyers involved in negotiations believe rulings in the cases have been finalized but that neither Doty nor the 8th Circuit judges, who previously implored the league and players to work out their differences themselves, want to issue them. The failure of talks, this line of thinking goes, could lead Boylan to inform those courts that negotiations have broken down and there's no need to wait to reveal their rulings.

If that's indeed Boylan's hammer, he has used it effectively, reining in the sides late last week and prompting the aforementioned progress on the revenue split, the central issue in this entire dispute. In that time, many of the "fringe" demands -- deemed unacceptable by one side or the other -- fell off the table as well, clearing the way for more productive talks.

breer had this tweet a little while ago (for salty)

AlbertBreer Handful of NFL officials just showed up here at the meetings. Interesting.

i can't imagine how boring a day has to be for breer or any of these guys. you spend your time trying to find where these meetings are going to be and then camp outside and point out any people going in or out of the meeting place.

here's more of his excitement for this afternoon following up his tweet from a little while ago...

AlbertBreer The NFL officials arriving here were staff lawyers from the management council. Going to work with league lawyer Dennis Curran.

Albert Breer about 6m ago via Echofon

AlbertBreer So the meeting kicked off at 10. Curran and Birch arrived at 2:30. Management Council lawyers showed at 5:15. They're still going upstairs.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
