[Archived] NFL 2011 --lockout season

[ABBEY]

lockout fund ready to be used.

I thought they would sort it out according to the article another set of talks on 6th april,,,,, SORT IT WE NEED IT!!

[HemelRover]

Well, there goes my Sunday evenings, and Monday, Tuesday and the occasional Friday early mornings!

[Rovermatt]

A bunch of billionaires arguing with a bunch of millionaires about who takes home what percentage of $9b. Unbelievable.

[ABBEY]

And my bronco tat is still 0-0

[ABBEY]

is the draft for lockout this week or next ? on sky? or just a stream again?

[modes98]

Drafts on 28th April. The first day was on ESPN uk last year and I hope it is again this but I havne't heard or looked to see if it is.

Quite happy with the Giants nabbing 2 compo picks after I thought we had no chance with picking up Bulluck, Rolle, Grant, etc.

Looks like there will be no talks prior to the legal case. I really hope they can sort something, even if it is another season under the previous CBA just so they can talk it out over the season.

[Eddie]

They'll sort something out. It's just a question of coming to an agreement on who makes how much and that will be easy enough to do once the pressure of missing a season really kicks in. It's very likely that the players will cave, particularly when many of those involved in the negotiations are towards the tail-end of their careers and are running out of time to earn money and win superbowls.

The bigger problem will be the NBA. Not as easy to negotiate with a bunch of owners who are actually losing money by owning their teams.

NFL Draft on ESPN

[ABBEY]

both sides told to talk yesterday by the judge apparently.

[sleepyjack]

Bears vs Bucs at Wembley next season.

[Rovermatt]

Bucs again! Snooze.

[ABBEY]

doesnt look like theres gonna be any games anywhere next season...will make the draft a cagey strategic affair especially if there is no 2012 draft.

buc n bears ah well thats £500 saved.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%5John McClain of the Houston Chronicle hears the Redskins are "trying like crazy" to trade up for one of this year's elite quarterbacks.

Unless the Skins offer most, if not all, of their 2012 draft class (picks from which will be severely devalued because no one even knows if there will be a 2012 draft), we have a hard time believing Mike Shanahan can execute a trade up. They don't have a third- or fourth-round pick this year. McClain believes that the Redskins are targeting Missouri's Blaine Gabbert.%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

big rumours are we are gonna let the skins bend over and us ram it up again lol. broncos to butt rape the skins again.

[BangkokRover]

Bucs again! Snooze.

Yeah I was just thinking the same. Oh well I guess I will fly back to the UK anyway for the game.

Sources: Judge rules for players, stops lockout

sports.espn.go.com

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson has granted NFL players their motion for a preliminary injunction, therefore lifting the lockout that was imposed by owners on March 11, league and union sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

with the #2 pick broncos select the latest raider hater...Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller....go run at us i dare ya.HAPPY AS!!!

[Rovermatt]

The Giants passed on Mark Ingram in spite of the failures of the running game last season.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Happy with our draft. Clifton isn't getting any younger and now with Sherrod coming in and Bulaga already there we should be sorted for a decade in those positions.

[sleepyjack]

INGRAMMANIA. See you in the Super Bowl, guys.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Happy with the packers picking up Cobb and Green. Cobb looks a real versatile player, with Driver near the end of his career and Jones approaching FA it's a good move by the Pack. Also we could finally have a decent special teams guy! Green coming in means it looks like Brandon Jackson is on his way, if Green can block I would be happy to see Jackson go.

Really happy about the entire draft. Even the 7th round pick was first team all Big 12 for 3 years, just didn't do well in the combine. Hopefully this means we're taking after the Steelers and drafting based on performance, not stopwatches - has been pretty successful for them.

loud and clear charlie loud and clear

Yeah I was a bit miffed at that one to. I thought Jacobs would be cut and they would invest in Ingram but it wasn't to be. Experts have said we have had a brilliant draft and I am happy that we finally have taken the plunge on a LB or 2!
