Second extension moves closer to reality
Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2011, 10:03 AM EST
They previously agreed only to disagree. They now have agreed to attempt to agree at a later date, twice.

A day after hammering out a one-day extension to Threat Level: Midnight, the NFL and the players’ union are on the verge of formally extending the deadline by one week or more.

As the two sides meet not together but privately with mediator George Cohen, Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal reports that a second extension is “all but a done deal.”

Coupled with Mike Silver’s report that an extension will lead to a new CBA, perhaps this means that a settlement of all issues is “all but a done deal,” too.

That said, things can fall apart even if progress continues to be made. All it takes is one side taking a hard line on one issue, and the whole thing can implode.

That said, the storm clouds are beginning to dissipate, faster than anyone thought they would.

Perhaps our threat of blaring Dean Martin records helped break the logjam

This explains alot of what I've read you post. You're just a kid.

My math was fuzzy, my dad was 13 the last time the Eagles won, he was 2-3 the only other times.

None of this makes Philly suck any less.

Wait, so this dude is old enough to remember the Steelers from the 70's or some shit, but his dad wasn't alive in 1960? I don't believe that.

And, also, dude who lives in Oregon but bleeeeds Pittsburgh :roll: - we support a real city. Ya know, one that supports a team in every major sport. But yinz :roll: hold onto those Stillers,crimped 90's bangs, pull-over Starter jackets, and Cutlass Ciera's. :thumbup:

I don't feel the need to defend Pittsburgh it's so much better than San Francisco east(City of Brotherly Love) but I can see where you feel the need to 'support' your city, it needs all the help it can get. Now only if you were an athlete you could be a real loser like the rest of Phillies athletes.

At least I can have respect for Jugs because he knows how to make an intelligent comment. How old are you anyway Pam, 23?

I'm glad you guys have your Phillies, even though they play a pussy sport, wouldn't want to have to think of you as complete losers.

funny how once the owners found out they won't get their tv money next year, things started to progress rather quickly. .....now get it done so we can be done hearing about this nonsense :x



Robert Kraft says labor deal is “possible” this week
Posted by Mike Florio on March 7, 2011, 7:31 PM EST
Getty ImagesPatriots owner Robert Kraft, in comments given to reporters who followed him to Israel, spoke optimistically about the chances that a new labor deal will be done this week.

Kraft said he “personally believe it’s possible” to work out a new agreement, according to CSNNE.com.

Kraft is in Israel on a trade mission with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. “If necessary, I might have to leave early,” Kraft said, adding that a new labor deal is “a high priority.”

“We’re doing everything we can to get a deal consummated,” Kraft said.

“[The] good news is, it’s always good to be talking when you have differences of opinion,” Kradt added. “It’s the only way you have a chance [to reach an agreement]. So we’re talking, and I know from ownership’s side that we feel there’s a deal to be made and we’d very much like to do it.”

We’ll know more in four days whether the deal is made.

What a fucking joke this has become. How do these owners expect the players to concede that type of money without opening their books?

haven't had a chance to follow closely today but it looks like the league's offer did not include an 18 game schedule which is good.

i think both sides probably expected this to happen. the judge who this will most likely go to has consistently sided with the players in the past. he's the one who would not let the owners cash in on the tv contract if games are not played. hopefully this gets done before they end up missing games.

sucks it looks like the birds won't be able to deal the kolber before the draft though.

this hurts the nfl at a time where it's the most popular sport here in america. look at how many teams now have season ticket holder not renewing cause of this and all the free agents that can do jack shit. people are gonna say fuck it and put their money to better use. i still think we will have football this season. i can see it starting in october or worse comes to worse november.

Not a huge fan of the NFL, just a bunch of arrogant fucks who put a pretty shitty product on the field and i would love to see them get knocked down a peg or two. The only reason it is so popular is because of gambling and it annoys me.
