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

Yes. I meant owners.

IMHO Nelson should have stayed the lawsuit until the NLRB made a decision as to the players decision to decertify. IF the decertification was illegal, THEN the owners have no "anti-trust music" to face. Instead, in a case of judicial activism, Nelson injects herself into parralel proceedings writes the score, hires the musicians and rents the hall so that she can eventually force the owners to listen to her "Anti-trust Symphony In Green".

As I said, result oriented judiciating as opposed to law based judginess.

It's just not very scientifical.

I'm kinda with you on this. I think the owners had a good claim in regards to the players admitting they were decertifying in order to have some leverage against the owners. Which is illegal. I think it was also proven because the players chose to decertify several hours prior to the time limit. Clearly the players were not interested in trying to work anything out until the last minute. The reason the players won in the 80's was because they decertified after the time limit showing they were in good faith trying to work out an agreement.

Speaking of Free Agency. NFL Network is running a top 10 of the worst free agent signings in history....wonder if any of our signings will make it. Pretty tough. They're up to 6 with David Boston. $47 million contract, $12 signing bonus released after one year. Drug use, PED's, sleeping in meetings, didn't get along with the media.

10. Emmit Smith - Cards
9. Scott Mitchell - Lions
8. Ahman Green - Houston
7. Jeff Garcia - Browns
6. David Boston - Chargers
5. Neil O'Donnel - Jets
4. Andre Rison - Browns

1. Anyone to the Redskins

So they're about to go number 1 and they're alluding to how they're going to make it all of the Redskin free agent signings.

Update: LMAO, Number 1 is "Anyone to the Redskins."

Dana Stubblefield, Jeff George, Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Albert Haynesworth, Adam Archuletta, ARE.

"This deserves it's own top 10 list.

"They're not all bad, London Fletcher."

Let's keep this thread about the current labor situation

What channel 4 stated was the owners were denied and now all the teams are scrambling to make their FA pick ups and probably talking trades right now.

I would presume all the teams were prepared to start doing something in case the Judge ruled against the owners. Heck I'm sure the coaching staff were probably standing by because they were probably in their war room developing plans for both FA if the ruling went for the players and draft.

With any luck McNabb is being traded to the Vikes for a 3rd or 4th rounder, AH is being traded for a 5th or 6th rounder, or atleast something.

I think there may have been some under the table dealings going on by GMs, but I highly doubt the owners and the league were preparing for a decision in favor of the players. Ever since the ruling on Monday, the league has done nothing but stall this decision.

In the end, any team that wanted to sign a free agent, trade for a current player, or trade a player for picks before the draft gets screwed by this.
