If you're free, healthy, wealthy, or simply employed, you may be thankful to be in America or to be an American. Unless, of course, you run the NFL, own an NFL team, or run the NFL Players Association.
There will be an NFL season in 2011. That's what many of the owners and lots of players are saying. Even though labor talks collapsed, the union dissolved itself, and star players asked for a preliminary injunction to prevent a lockout hours before the league even implemented one.
Goodell and Pash promised in January they would take salary cuts if there was a work stoppage. Goodell earns about $10 million a year, including bonuses, and Pash nearly $5 million.
That doesn't mean Friday's collapse of mediated talks is unimportant. The impasse could be tremendously disruptive, leaving hundreds of free agents in limbo, draft picks unsigned, team personnel on furloughs or worse, and coaches taking pay cuts.
Our message to the fans is this: We know that you are not interested in any disruption to your enjoyment of the NFL. We know that you want football. You will have football. This will be resolved.
After Thursday's back-and-forth between the NFL and players' union -- and apparently little progress on key economic issues -- Tri-State NFL fans have had enough.
The warning for months from union officials to NFL players has been simple: Save your paychecks because the future is uncertain. Another warning should come with it, and be passed along to Tiki Barber: Remember that nothing lasts forever.
Does Tiki Barber still have what it takes to absorb the NFL's weekly grind? "He keeps coming every day, we're going to get it done," Barber's trainer, Joe Carini, told the NY Post.
From 1997-2006, Tiki Barber was the face of the Giants. His powerful legs and cutback ability made him the catalyst of the offense. A broad smile made him one of the poster boys of New York metropolitan area sports. Then it all changed.
The Supreme Court won't review a decision throwing out a lawsuit stemming from the Patriots' 2007 "Spygate" scandal. The high court on Monday refused to revive a Jets fan's class-action lawsuit against their football archrivals and coach, Bill Belichick.
With five more days and nights - at least - to reach an agreement, the NFL and the players' union might find money off the top is not the bottom line.
The sides were using this weekend to assess their positions, before resuming talks in front of a federal mediator Monday — and then they will have until the end of Friday to reach a new CBA, thanks to two extensions of the old deal.
The NFL is so popular that five million tuned in for at least a few moments last week to watch young men in spandex lift weights at the league's annual scouting combine. But what if there's nothing to watch next season? What will you do?
On the heels of his visit with the Jets, safety Bob Sanders has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chargers, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday night.
A reprieve, even for one day, provided a touch of optimism in the NFL's labor dispute with the players' union. Nobody, though, should get comfortable.
A member of the players' negotiating team says the union and the NFL have agreed to a 24-hour extension in labor talks.
With the clock ticking down to the midnight expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement, Roger Goodell and the NFL's negotiating team arrived at a federal mediator's headquarters about 45 minutes ahead of the NFLPA.
The heart of the NFL labor negotiations has owners and players attempting to decide how to split $9 billion in annual NFL revenue. Wow. That's quite a nice problem to have, don't you think?
Hard-liners on both sides -- the NFL and players' union -- have taken negotiations to the brink, and there's no indication that sanity will prevail before the current collective bargaining agreement expires and things really begin to get nasty.
The NFL and the players' union no longer have months or weeks or days to reach a new CBA. If they don't get it done before Thursday turns to Friday on the East Coast, pro football's first work stoppage since 1987 is almost a certainty.
