Maybe the players have always thought that their voice did not matter with Upshaw an dcompany...I think it could mean MANY things. It was a day off for players...so bad scheduling for Smith...That they have singled out teh Pats is typical of shows like this..but a GREAT heads up!!

Maybe they're more interested in getting better than learning the ins and outs of their contract.

ProFootballTalk.com - More Proof That Plenty Of Players Don’t Care About The CBA

The NFL Enquirer, no doubt unintentionally, now given the Patriots some cover.

Who are the union reps on the team? It is their responsibility to get the players to such meetings.

Unions are to business what pimples and rashes are to perfectly fine baby butts.

I believe that the average player is better off with a union than without.

Agreed. Players have more to worry about than what's best for the business owners.

It does not make it the best system - just (arguably) the best one we've come up with so far...
