The players were asking for more than they reasonably needed. There's plenty of blame to go around. But at the end of the day the players wasted everyone's time and provided false hope by not negotiating in good faith it seems.

Danm you got your panties in a knot. LOL!
John Mara (owners) and the players are directly involved in the negotiations and both have a big financial interest in the outcome. I would not believe either side 100% of the way at this point. It has turned into a smear campaign by both sides since they did not meet this initial deadline. The upset media and the rabid fans like you are so upset that a deal was not struck on March 11th that you are looking to blame someone.
Turn off the NFL Network and go outside. There is still six months to get this deal done and it will get done.
As FreddyG stated correctly this had to happen. Now it is in the hands of an impartial Judge that will make impartial and correct decisions on discovery issues and most likely open the books to the relevant NFL income and get this deal worked out.
Stop believing everything you hear on TV.

I wonder if things like this will accelerate getting this thing fixed.

Jets put pay cuts, furloughs in place.
As expected, the Jets introduced 25 percent pay cuts on Saturday for every employee under their football operations umbrella.That includes head coach Rex Ryan and GM Mike Tannenbaum. Meanwhile, every worker on the business side of things will be required to take unpaid furloughs until a new CBA is agreed to. However, if an agreement is reached before the start of the preseason, all employees will be reimbursed for their lost pay. Mar 12, 4:53 PM
