Pages : 1 [2] JWsleep 03-02-2006, 03:08 PM I'm Keanu Reavs and I'm ready to go. Just come to my boat and we'll set up the deal. Have we added Gene Hackman to the staff yet, as second assistant head coach/Lex Luthor? dmek25 03-02-2006, 03:38 PM i could be the waterboy as long as im close to the cheerleaders dmek25 03-02-2006, 03:52 PM maybe schneed or that guy can answer this.its seems that the players only concern right now is getting to 2007 uncapped.in my opinion,the years after 2007 are the ones where the players are screwed,with the owners almost guaraunteeing alock out in 2008.this will drive salaries down and maybe put a chink in the goose that lays the golden egg(being the nfl powerhouse that it is) That Guy 03-02-2006, 04:41 PM maybe schneed or that guy can answer this.its seems that the players only concern right now is getting to 2007 uncapped.in my opinion,the years after 2007 are the ones where the players are screwed,with the owners almost guaraunteeing alock out in 2008.this will drive salaries down and maybe put a chink in the goose that lays the golden egg(being the nfl powerhouse that it is) players will sue the nfl under anti-trust legislatation for hundreds of millions and have a good shot of winning. No idea about the specifics (besides one way contracts and drafts being illegal unless a union exists to agree to them) and no prediction of the outcome. It will be messy and danny may only have one shot at a SB before it goes to scabs or a lost season or labor peace or any of 15 different scenarios. freddyg12 03-02-2006, 04:50 PM Assuming no CBA (or equivillant) gets signed, and we're on our way to a capless 2007, what does this mean for 2008? I've heard that there would be a lockout -- why? I assumed 2007 - Infinity would be a capless season, until they signed another deal to start the salary cap back up, if that ever happens. There wouldn't be a lockout if the nflpa goes forward w/its current plans to decertify the union if a new cba isn't agreed to. Since there would be no union, there's no one to lock out. Essentially what happens in 2008 if a new cba isn't agreed to is in essence labor regulations start from scratch. Any rules the owners set could be subject to anitrust suits by the players (collectively, but not as the nflpa), e.g. players could sue if the owners implement a draft and they'd likely win. What industry actually drafts workers? The US military doesn't even draft anymore. dmek25 03-02-2006, 05:21 PM as far as this year,what actually is the penalty if the skins remain over the cap?ive never heard this discussed before Sheriff Gonna Getcha 03-02-2006, 05:27 PM as far as this year,what actually is the penalty if the skins remain over the cap?ive never heard this discussed before It's being discussed in another thread. What, you didn't read all 80,000 comments posted today? J/K The penalty could consist of fines and/or loss of draft picks. That Guy 03-02-2006, 05:40 PM as far as this year,what actually is the penalty if the skins remain over the cap?ive never heard this discussed before no one knows. fines (indiviual and team) and lost draft picks... no one is really sure what else upshaw can do. I assume he can DQ the skins every game for blatant disregard of the cap, but beyond that... ?????? ?????? ?????? dmek25 03-02-2006, 05:46 PM i think if its fines and lost draft picks,then screw it,leave our team as is and pay the penalty That Guy 03-02-2006, 05:50 PM i think if its fines and lost draft picks,then screw it,leave our team as is and pay the penalty dans rich and there's no draft next year, so..... what's the problem?
