Lights Out Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Aren't you a Cowboys fan? Why would you care if Kevin Kolb stays "loyal" to the Eagles, who will promptly show "disloyalty" to him by trading him ASAP?I think that it's sort of a d-bag move on his part.To want to go to a team that will give him an opportunity to start?No to basically ditch the team that he's currently with.Except when the league comes back, he'll just be traded to Arizona anyway. Why not take the time to practice and build relationships with your new team? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Well, the NFLPA says that it's looking at a deal, but that's all they'll say today. Part of the deal is because of the funeral Robert Kraft's deceased wife. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think that last part is the clearest sign the deal will not get done. If they were going to accept it they would regardless of Myrna Kraft, but they will wait and its back to square one. The players seem to think they are being force fed and all the reports of them voting on it has them aboput to walk away completly. I heard from SI.com that the players want at least two weeks. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If the NFL doesn't happen the NHL can't this up, but we all know the NBA won't happen. So I think Gary will take that as a very nice consolation prize. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Let's not get carried away here. The NFLPA is looking at the proposals. Let's not act as if the door has been shut on the 2011 season. Every player I have heard wants to play, every team wants to play. As it stands, 1 match has been cancelled. Let's all just take a breath. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Eddie George is currently out of benefits since he is retired for five seasons. He played his a$$ off for nine years and got jack. Should that be OK via the NFL?I get that benefits can be a huge issue, and that Eddie got banged up during his playing days -- but what's stopping him (or any ex-player) from starting a new career that offers benefits? Is he "too good" to go out and find a job in the real world?Problem: McDonalds and Wal Mart have crappy health plans (and wage scales) and factoring the cumulative head trauma of your typical NFL player in, that's pretty much the only real world job he could find.

BlueSky Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 If you were an NFL player and had just witnessed months of negotiations dragging on, and the other side was, well, NFL owners, and those owners had an immediate vote and passed the proposed deal basically without any dissent (31-0 - the Raiders abstained, but whatever), wouldn't that kinda run a red flag up the pole and set it to snapping in the breeze?If I were them, I'd take my time and have people who know such documents comb every page of it. If the owners are that happy, something probably smells for the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I hear part of the problem may be that the Exec Council of the NFLPA did not communicate well with the rest of the Team Reps and the Team Reps are angry about the deal. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Take it for what it's worth, but NFL.com is reporting that the plantiffs in the Brady vs. NFL case have dropped their case.Along with that, Vincent Jackson will settle his case. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameroncrazie07 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Anyone else find it hilarious that ESPN is still ignoring that the lockout has basically ended and a CBA has been agreed to? If you look at ESPN's headlines and developing stories it continues to say that there will be a vote today. When every other sports network has already stated that the owners and players have already agreed to a deal. Classic ESPN ignorance, refusing to report the correct stories because their "insiders" failed to be the first one's to get it.

chestnutz Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Pretty sure they just don't want to be wrong. Why make the top story on your website something that isn't 100%? When the deal is officially done (who knows if the players could reject it again) it'll be a top story.
