That doesn't sound promising.

Seems completely arrogant to me. I can see the owners being a pill to bargain and deal with, but this guys seems way worse. He is so smug about everything. Watching his interviews, he seems to have a chip on his shoulder and appears to think the owners are all at fault.

Sure, but that is no mindset when going to a NEGOTIATING table.

Seems to be pretty close to the mindset the owners have IMO.

I haven't seen that same attitude from him

I have noticed some owners doing dumb stuff like taking shots at players tho (Drew Brees and Peyton Manning for example)

IMO this means games will be lost for the coming season

The legal route will not be fast and will not really resolve all the issues anyway

Big question is whether a full season will be lost IMO

Judge Doty might rule on the lockout sooner though. No new CBA but we could get the season too

I am done with all these assholes.

Maybe you're right - but it contradicts what some radio douches were alleging

They seemed to think that court had a full docket of cases lined up to be heard before they could get to the NFL... maybe months before they really get started

Most people care about the games not the names on the back of the jerseys.

This isn't good but they've got a long way to training camps to get this shite done.
