      Wasn't Sal Pal, it was George Smith apparently. Knew I was laughing too hard to remember details.

        You make it sound like the owners flew off to some island for a month and worked out what the new CBA will be, which is obviously not the case.

        If the players are mad about the process - which is all I've seen them complain about - they need to swallow some pride and get this thing done. Otherwise they're just trying to deflect backlash on their inability to get this wrapped op on their own terms.

            I don't like the fact that the vote was 31-0.

            It also seems like the owners were trying to put the PA in a corner as bad guys by giving dates for training camp to start.

            Maybe I'm being pessimistic but I'm not optimistic...

                No, but it was their proposal tho it did have some of the stuff they agreed upon. When it's voted 31-0 that leads me to believe it's not exactly the deal the NFLPA is gonna be looking for.

                The Players already came this far and as much as I want football they might as well get what they waited this long for.

                  Well the Raiders CEO had this to say on why they didn't vote:

                  I ge thte feelling more owners aren't really all that happy with it. Even John Clayton speculated that the vote was at best 29-3 before the number was known.

                    Re: Official CBA Thread

                    The owners ratifying tonight is really going to make the players look like the bad guys to the public. All the fans think this thing is all over now because the owners agreed to the new CBA, but from what I'm hearing, the players want a global settlement and since there are still issues remaining, they sound like they're not going to accept the new CBA or atleast vote on it tonight. I was really hoping the players would vote on this tonight and agree to it so we all can get past this and enjoy the football season. I'm seriously tired of hearing about the lockout and when Goodell stepped up to the podium and announced all the details for the upcoming season, it really put some life back into me.

                    I don't really know why the players are making it a big deal, I dont understand why they can't ratify and then the NFLPA and the NFL can settle the remaining issues before the season starts. And now we all have to hear about the owners ratifying probably for the next couple days until the players ratify.

                      IMO the owners where just being greedy when they opted out in the first place. Now that they are looking at losing the preseason money, they are panicking.

                        Goodell and Smith spent hours on the phone today, hard to believe there were any surprises in this owner ratified proposal.

                          My guess would be they don't trust the owners. Who signs a deal that isn't done yet? Sure the fan in me wants to see this all go away, but they would be crazy to agree to a deal that's still in the making.

                            Goodell isn't exactly involved in the deal making really if i'm correct, it was more of a talk to see how they could get this all started if both sides agreed and about certifying,etc.

                              I love the genuine frustration from everyone involved with NFL Network's coverage right now. Especially Rich Eisen. They're fans and this sucks for them just like it does for us.

                                Pretty sure he's been involved in nearly ever negotiating session along with Smith outside of the lawyer working sessions.

                                What this need is Goodell and Smith taking control of the situation and doing whatever it takes to fix it ASAP, otherwise we're in for more missed preseason game and a complete abandonment of trust.
