Ongoing CBA discussions

^ what a joke man

The players make enough money to pay for their own insurance through the NFLPA and they make enough money to put 5 or 10% of their earnings towards a retirement fund. I find it a moot point for 4 mill to be set aside just for them when they are negotiating their own contracts anyway.

There's a leadership problem, in my judgment. You don't see deals done before absolute Armageddon is on the horizon when that's the way that the sides approach collective bargaining. What we've seen here is an issue where the leadership and the strongest elements within the constituency of the players and the constituency of the owners is insisting on toeing a very hard line, and they've sort of painted themselves into a corner. Neither side wants to blink first.

We will see in 3 years my man

It kills me how much fans support the owners. I think both sides are at blame and should have done this sooner rather than later. While the players may have forced this situation in the last hours, the owners wanted to force a lockout for the longest time.
