It’s one 1-1 at this point. Appelate courts almost always rule for the business/organization in these cases no matter the field of work. The players won the 1st round. No further along than they were 3 months ago! I think the players will cave before the owner. They need the paycheck more than teams or owners do and they will start feeling it sooner rather than later.

some are already feeling it-23%? that is a lot of money!!!over 100k in interest alone. per year. can you imagine borrowing 500k?

Whatever happens, it sets up a situation that will be filled with distrust, mean spiritedness and hostile. Whoever loses this round will only wait a few years and try it all again. DeMaurice Smith is one of a series of appalling choices to lead the NFLPA. Sadly as a group, the players only see their agents who are too anxious to show them the money. One of the many bottom lines that doesn’t seem to get mentioned is that no one is underpaid. Until rather recently the NFPA has abandoned retired players who are critically ill. Nothing was sadder than the sight of Johnny Unitas, his hands so warped by arthritis, signing autographs to make enough money to pay for his medicines. Non playing players don’t produce income and are therefore, useless to the NFLPA. None of these people are worthy of any thing but scorn. And, lest we forget, however this ends, we, the fans, will end up paying all the legal fees and whatever other dollars they think they can get from us. Remember Gordon Gecko? “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good”. What he meant was that greed was good as a motivator but that has been sublimated by meaning that greed is good for you. They said that about Thalidomide.
