Title: NFL owners vote to end lock out - players not yet voted Post by: ssmith general on July 21, 2011, 07:18:38 PM Pending player approval. I dont really understand but I hope it works.
Quote Players still had to sign off on the deal -- and they must re-establish their union, the NFL said. Players didn't vote on a full pact Wednesday because there were issues that had not been resolved. They planned to have a conference call later Thursday. "Hopefully, we can all work quickly, expeditiously, to get this agreement done," Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "It is time to get back to football. That's what everybody here wants to do." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/07/are_you_ready_for_some_footbal.html Title changed again.

He's seen them all come in. He also said Jerry Jones is a jerk the way he talks to people.

Title: Re: NFL owners vote to end lock out - but players reject deal Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 21, 2011, 09:31:45 PM All the talk was upbeat and positive. I guess we have either no Pro football or we will end with a 10 or 12 game schedule when they finally settle.

Before you start, I know, I know. The owners want it all too. :P :P Title: Re: NFL owners vote to end lock out - but players reject deal Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 21, 2011, 09:47:40 PM I'm reading other sites saying the players have not yet voted. ???

I think the odds are pretty good that a miracle will happen in the next few days, because neither the owners or players are stupid enough to think the fans will stand for this crap, if it cuts into, or cancels the season. Title: Re: NFL owners vote to end lock out - but players reject deal Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 21, 2011, 10:01:59 PM Most of the players need their paycheck. Everyone doesn't make Peyton Manning money and endorsements. A deal will be made.

Just look at what happened to MLB. Their fan base still isn't what it was pre-strike, 17 years ago.

Thats the word. True. ESPN worded it this morning as "Players' representatives indicated that the players likely would agree. 98% of the proposal meets the requirements, and the players need to discuss the other 2%."
