MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—The NFL says it believes an appeal over the lockout canbe “readily be resolved” during the offseason.
The NFL filed a brief with the 8th U.S. District Court of Appeals in St.Louis on Monday, arguing that the lockout should remain on hold permanentlywhile the two sides hash things out in court. A three-judge panel of the appealscourt put an order lifting the lockout on hold temporarily last week and theowners reinstated the lockout a few hours later.

In an 18-page brief, the NFL again argued that U.S. District Judge SusanRichard Nelson shouldn’t have jurisdiction over a matter that grew from a labordispute.
The owners started the whole negotiation process off with take backs that no group could put up with these days. Really, give us another 1 billion off the top and we will go from there. The NFL revenue is growing like crazy. Both sides should have left the current split in place and then adjust the on-going gains for the future to a 50-50 split. Greed among business owners is out of hand. We now have business leaders that leave their employees without healthcare or retirement plans while they make billions in profits. (Ask Budweiser employees) Now we let a republican group of judges decide on the stay. Republicans have become so pro business owners that I don't like how this will end. I was a republican for 35 years, my comment is not politically driven.
Hey maybe when you guys are done arguing over who is keeping $9 BILLION dollars we could get back to football?? IDK.... How about this solution----- SPLIT IT! BAM problem solved. I dont think there is anything worse than having to listen to a bunch of rich people trying to figure out how to become more wealthy when the average NFL fan struggles to take his/her family to ONE game a yr.
NFL--- Your better than this! Don't be the MLB! Get this done!
I could care less if there isn't a season !!.....just plain simple greed on BOTH sides !!...save your money,....spend it on something more important than a NFL jersey,.....spend it on the wife and kids !!...they will appreciate it more !!
The NFl owners are greedy pigs. There is no such thing as keeping their word when it comes to money. They use every loophole to back out of contracts with the players and the fans. Look at the price of tickets now compare to years ago. A watered down product and not good teams but the prices go up. WHY? because they know the fans love the game, so they don't have to sell a good product. This is mostly about 1 billion dollars that is supposed to be shared. the owners want it all. I hope the player get together and can figure a way to play games, even if it means college or high school fields. I'd rather watch them play than the scabs the owners will try to pass off as pros. remember the 80s.
Why is the NFL even bargaining with the defunct Union. They have Decertified. Owners should do what they wish to do and begin football as usual. When did anyone have to bargain with a non union group?
Goodell is a chump. a front man for the owners... I am realty suprised that he hasn't hired Donald Trump to give his press conferences! I mean, Trump; you can dismiss as an idiot who has driven many, many buiseness into bankrupcy. It sure looks like that's what Mr. Goodell wants for the NFL! It sure seems like its an 'anything but pay the players scenario'.
great usama bin laden is dead ... now can the players and owners get this thing done cuz there's enough money in the table to make everyone happy ... let's play football ... god bless america ... bet the stock market jumps way up tomorrow
enough is enough,ive been reading these post for hours,theres over 14000 of them and it appears to me that everyone is tired of the greed on both sides,to me its actually about the owners and players against the fans,we got eeto quit being IDIOTS by supporting this major rip off because thats what it is.If I ever see some idiot wearing a 50 dollar cam newton jersey I promise I will throw an egg at them
if you want to help move this along,boycott the nfl,do not buy anything with any nfl logo.hit them in the pocket book and they will understand the fans will not put up with the spoiled antics of both sides.a rookie salary capis a good idea,but there needs to be a salary cap for all players.ticket prices need to be reduced by at least 50%.basically the fans need to stike also
let's see if this majority republican court continues this illegal lockout so that the owner's can continue it's plan to bust up the players union. notice i said a republican court. if this was a majority democratic court this lockout would have never been re-instated. but here we are again allowing union politics to creep into this nations favorite past-time. it's sad. i know, and everyone reading this post knows all that the players want to do is play football. and the reason that the owner's are making the revenue that they do. is because of the high value product that's sold, the players on the field. sure a man is entitled to run his business however he see's fit. but when the public good is involved, and the business is generating 9 billion in revenue each season, that business man needs to stop being greedy and allow his employees to go back to work so that they can earn a living. can you imagine if the employees of ford, or gm motor company showed up for work and the doors were locked, and a sign on the door read. sorry people, i know we as a company earned 9 billion in revenue last year and 5 billion in profits. but we are not allowing you to work so that you can earn a living anymore.(unfortunately this does happen in corporate america). this is basically what these greeeeeeeedy owner's are doing. and hopefully this ideolgy driven court won't side with them.
I for one don't place the blame solely on the shoulders of the NFL. I balme the former NFLPA as well. The NFLPA seemed to push towards the courtroom as a solution. Let's see...isn't DeMaurice Smith a lawyer? This is no longer about the fans or about perserving the game. This is about power. This is about winning.
Just a thought I agree with both sides. Players you want to put in place a rookie cap and a pension for older and retired players. Ok older retired players you are making or made millions of dollars, Where did it go. Quit buying 30 cars and 4 houses and start living like a norma person with a normal job. You never know when you might get hurt or dry up. Don't blame the league for you being broke after football.
Owners come on you are the reason why the players are like this. You gave them so much money and they might of been worth it or not but you could stop it whenever you wanted. Stop giving a 22 year old kid 8 mil to sign and a 7 year contract worth 65 mil. Use your brians and save your money to fix or rebuild your own stadium so you don't have to charge $100 to $1500 a ticket for a regular season game.
In the end both sides are making too much money. They are playing a game that any exfootball player who didn't make into the show would love to play again for league min. A person who saves lives or has the life of 30 to 350 people in their hands make $20,000 to $150,000 a year. So to the greedy NFL players and owners grow up and be adults and make up your minds. Are you going to come up with a agreement or are you going to cancel football and loose even more money.
Funny thing could you see any of the players or owners getting a real job makking $30,000 to $60,000 a year. That I would watch on TV.
We could call it Lifestyles Of The Once Rich and Famous. With your host Deuce McAllister. Who earned about $70 Mil whil ein the NFL. He filed bankruptcy in 2010. Sam eyear he retired.
take the year off, call this a family year, a sunday without football sure could heal at lot of marrages under stress from the state of economy, lets show them, boycott the over priced cost to see football,. Maria, I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 Kinect bundle and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my co-worker for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, BidsTry.com
It's laughable to hear about how the $9 billion should be divided. How about using it to pay for the stadiums that are now financed with public $$? Wait until the players are promised even bigger money than today, then attendance and revenue falls, but the expectations of their paychecks never will. Can't you see the players reaching into their own pockets and offering to make up the difference, if the team or league lost money? Then there would be no talk of wanting to see the owners books. The players would be running for the hills like they run the 40.
The NFLPA should be organizing a new league to employ their membership. This is a capitalistic country. If the owners don't want to open their doors for business, a lot of other folks do. There is a demand for the product and it should be able to be met in our free market economy.
after watching all these rookies get picked and start crying and thanking god and there familys...priceless......these same player in about 5 yrs...will thank they are better then the nfl and god himself.....classless
Last year at this time the only thing going on was players like Darvelle Revis wanting new contracts and Albert Haynesworth refusing to play because the coach "ditsrestected" him.The owners can get new players the players have nothing without the NFL and they know it.
Just remember, it's early yet. No games have been lost. Training camp doesn't even start for another 10-11 weeks. Get mad if this is going on in August or September
Here's an idea: Every player on the team (including special teams and scout teams) make 100k per year as a base salary. The rest should come from performance based bonuses. Make a touchdown, thats worth 20k, team wins the game, thats 10k, etc., etc. There should be no contract negotiations with agents. Either you are on the team or not. If you put me in for a play and I get a touchdown, I should get the same money Peyton manning would have gotten for his touchdown.
Everyone should EARN their money. By the way, if you are a late round rookie and you step in for the injured feature runningback, you should agree with me here. Those guys get screwed...
