League and union agree to 24 hour extension:

I'm sure that will give them enough time to iron out everything that they haven't been able to take care of over the last 2 months.

having only 2 owners of the 32 teams at that meeting says only one thing--not even close.

thats what I call dedication.

yeah i dont get a 24 hour extension at this point......a 24 hour extension to a drop dead date for missing regular season games i could see....but this early in the process?....worthless

the union is forced to put in their decertification if a new labor agreement is not met

the 24 hr extension just allows them to not have to, and move to another extension--probably 2 weeks to see if they can pull it off

ice grillin you · March 04, 2011, 07:25:13 AM

they can decertify in five minutes if they want to...or they can decertify in two weeks...extensions have no bearing on their decertification whatsoever

if they extend for another two weeks then ill kind of believe that they could possibly be serious about getting a new deal...but a 24 extension means nothing

i kinda think they will get it done this month or early next...im not saying its the main reason to get it done but they cannot want a draft to take place during a work stoppage it would just crush the draft balloon and all the excitement inside of it

I just hope - mostly for the Eagles sake - that they get the CBA done before the draft. I'd rather the Eagles go after a guy like Nmandi at CB than to draft a young guy. They sign a starter at CB then they can use their picks at other spots. Not to mention, unless they're blown away with an offer for Kolb, they're better off just holding onto him next season because what's the use of getting draft picks (for next season) after the draft is over.

apparently a week long extension is a done deal and that should lead to a new cba

hooray! go rich funholes!

so a lockout is most likely a mere 12 hours away, and your new york giants have sent an email to all their sth offering additional psl's between $7,500 and $25,000. its amazing how fast a sth waiting list dwindles down when the biggest crock in the history of sports business comes into play.

Word. This is the ONLY reason I give a damn about this labor deal getting done right now. Gotta be free to ~~rip somebody off for~~, trade Kolb before the draft. To hell with 2012 picks...
