Say it ain't so Smoot. Players will catch a shit storm if they hold up this deal any longer I believe. They have to want to get back badly.

I agree. Enough is enough. The players need to sign the damn thing and put this crap to bed.

If all that's lost out of this is the HOF game, it's a win for all.

HOF game is cancelled
I know several people who will be VERY happy (like my wife) to hear this.

I'll wait until the players ratify to celebrate

De Smith thinks this is a fair deal, not sure the players are totally convinced. Not yet, at least

Good thing that Al Davis put his foot down and abstained. That'll show 'em. :)

This is EXACTLY what I am hearing. Smith is now the driving force for a settlement/ratification because there are at least two factions of players who are not yet on board.

Cue Yogi Berra:

It ain't over 'til it's over.

Owners voted 31-0 in favor of the new CBA with the Oakland Raiders abstaining.

In this case does a faction equal 1 player because the only two names I've heard opposed are VJax and Mankins.
