Kelly the Dog Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 This may be naive, but it made up its own CBA contract years ago, too. Why can't they just agree to rip up this contract and sign a new one that excludes the clause "there will be an uncapped year in 2007"? I don't think either side wants that (although perhaps the players do even though it will screw a ton of them over). And then have a full year to hammer out a new one? They self-imposed this deadline.
30dive Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 You are not naive, you like the rest of us actually want it to be fair for all, not just this side or that side. Something extremely rich men cannot see.
YOOOOOO Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I saw Upshaw on TV saying if a deal isnt done by the deadline the NFLPA will never agree to a salary cap ever again........ So its looking like the NFL will be uncapped forever.... No Cap.... Gaurenteed contracts.... get ready for Major League Baseball...i mean Football
apuszczalowski Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 More like the NHL will spend years thanking the NFL for getting the attention away from them when they decide to strike cause they can't solve some dumb financial problems to play a game.

CircleTheWagons Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Professional curling!!!! 614849[/snapback] Hmmm. There is professional curling in Canada, and it has also had bitter labor issues (believe it or not). A new professional league was started and teams that bolted were not allowed to play in the National Championships. It was a big stink for several years but thankfully it has been resolved. There was also problems with the television contracts, with our government owned broadcaster purchasing the rights away from our "ESPN" and doing a piss poor job. It's also been resolved. Sorry for the abolutely useless info, it must be trivia day in my brain today .

Good thing hockey has (mostly) fixed itself.
