Updated Title: 8th Circuit Court Grants Stay, Lockout Reinstated

2011 NFL Lockout: Player's Association Says Year Should Begin Now - Stampede Blue (http://www.stampedeblue.com/2011/4/28/2139259/2011-nfl-lockout-players-association-says-year-should-begin-now)

Armed guards and stacks of boxes preventing guys from working out? ...lolol What a dope.




These guys don't believe the law applies to them.


Ridiculous. I thought Bud Adams would just stand in the parking lot and shoot the bird to his players as they arrive. Having armed guards are insane.

Maybe we'll get that 3rd/4th round pick for McNabb after all?

Big news to me, if I understand it right, is that we can give players (including our draft picks) our playbooks right away. So our new QB can get started learning the playbook this weekend

Agree, I dont get the leagues last piece of that statement that says we getting something to together so we can agree with the league year starts...hasnt that been stated by the judge and the decision? From a legal standpoint, isnt free agency open and all facilities open? Why is this start date different from when players can go workout from when they become free agents if we past both those periods anyway?

How effing incompetent is the league and Goodell...how come he and the league wasnt ready for this ruling and had something prepared to go out immediately? Sloppy if you ask me

Not only that (FA/trades), but simply allowing the players to work out, which is still something that isn't being done. That is a direct violation with what the judge ruled. It's like some of the owners are saying "we don't care how you ruled, we are billionaires and are above your judgment". The NFLPA should as the court to find the NFL in contempt.

oh, and Happy League New Year to all!!

I can see that old bastard riding around in a golf cart doing exactly that. Having some poor kid drive while he takes shots of Jack Daniels and heckles the players as they arrive.

I think that may be their plan, to come accross as sloppy and un-prepared that way they have a better chance of avoiding any consequences. They're hoping if they look like they're doing something and being responsible they wont get too many complaints. The truth is though that they've been extremely irresponsible in not being prepared for mondays ruiling, let alone not being prepared after yesterday. If someone (like Judge Nelson) calls their bluff though, they'll be in trouble.

Ha, yeah no sh*t WTF is think. Pimp slap Goodell for me tonite SS.

So there will be no trades of players under contract today, although it’s at least theoretically possible that the league year could start tomorrow and players under contract could be traded tomorrow and the next day, during Rounds 2-7 of the draft.

Of course, all of this is moot if the appeals court ruling goes the way the NFL is hoping.

“If they issue that stay, these arrangements would change, obviously,” Aiello said.



Funny they address players under contract. They don't mention players who have been cut or are FA's. They mention players under contract and trades will not take place until Fri. at the earliest.

It's part of anti Eagles propoganda. The league know the Eags can sucker another team out of draft picks and with Kolb they can steal a first round pic.

- AJ Feely
- Donovan McNabb
- Kevin Kolb?

Buyer beware!
