Give up.... stop exhausting all avenues... sit down bite the bullet and come to a deal before you look worse than u already do... The stay has offically been denied... Now lets get back to playing football, well lets just begin the new year...
Same could be said for the players. It takes two to tango.
Yea i'm kind of on the side of the owners on this one. I mean home many players actually deserve 10+ million a season?
I'm all for medical cover for ex players.
rookie wage scale
16 game season
Keep the draft
Keep franchise tag and RFA etc.
the players are not the ones , stonewalling negotioations... they wanted to negotiate but the owners felt they had the upper had , and well there getting there but kicked in court ... the owners decided to stop mediating till may 16th.. really??? the players i believe took the best course of action...

The players decertified and stopped negotiating the first time. Just admit it, both sides suck.

You mean other than the fact that the owners created the situation and the players are winning.
Both sides created this situation. The players agreed to a clause in the CBA that allowed the owners to back out and both sides spent the last year throwing barbs at each other in the media rather than trying to negotiate until the very end of the year.
Given that the players were more than willing to continue the status quo it is safe to say the owners created this situation.

So eventhough many of the players admit that in the last CBA was heavily in favor of the players and they got a great deal, the reason why they wanted the status quo to continue makes them honorable. If your boss was paying you minimum wage and decided that he wanted to keep the "status quo" when you asked for a raise, you would commend him for his reasonableness?
The players wanted the status quo because the status quo favored them. If the status quo favored the owners, it would be the owners who would wanted to keep the status quo and the players would be striking right now.
Sorry, but the players wanted to keep a system that was lopsided in their favor doesn't make them reasonable or the victims in this.
