Emergency owners meeting called for early Thursday - The Orange Mane

HEAV · 02-28-2006, 09:15 PM

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports an emergency owners meeting has been called for Thursday, March 2, at 8:30 a.m. in New York. If there are any signs of progress in the CBA talks, there is a chance the start of the free agent period will be delayed. If the talks break down again, several high-profile veteran profiles could get cut Friday, March 3, as teams comply with the salary cap.

Good. Get it done, someway somehow.

Florida_Bronco · 02-28-2006, 09:17 PM

I'll be holding my breath and praying for the best.

I am serious....don't **** this up NFL and NFLPA. Don't ruin the best run league in all of sports.

Learn from Hockey and Baseball....suck it up and get it done...don't kill the goose that is laying golden eggs...

I almost don't want to see this get done, just to see what would happen

Don't worry. As long as there's a loser Raider in charge of one side, it will crumble...just like their "storied franchise."

Taco John · 02-28-2006, 10:05 PM

The players are asking for way too much.

24champ · 02-28-2006, 10:08 PM

I dont see it getting it done with upshaw being a toolbox.

Kaylore · 02-28-2006, 11:08 PM

Tagliabue has said that the PA is "overreaching" and intends to prove it to everyone present. Sounds like this isn't about "the nine" at all.

I agree. This is TNT. Law & Order at it's finest. Drama is much more entertaining.

yes well revenue sharing and the cba are technically two different things.

Excellent find Heav!!!

Wouldn't it be kinda funny if the shrewdest guy in all this - the one who made out better than anybody - was John Engleberger?

"PFW Whispers" already questioned why his deal was so generous, and that was when they though a there was a decent shot for a new CBA. Now he'll look like Einstein or something after Bloody Thursday.

Upshaw has to drag it out as long as possible so as to appear less like the owners' b****. Most of the players felt like he sold them out the last time they averted a major labor crisis. I doubt if anything will change this time around.

So do you really think this is all just posturing by Upshaw? I've heard that from more than one analyst. I happen to think that Upshaw is fearing he'll lose his job if he doesn't do this and that his desperation and dogged display is "real", albeit horribly timed and selfishly motivated.

I think he'll lose his job if a lot of high profile players are cut and have to play for pennies because he couldn't get a deal done.
