WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the collective bargaining agreement roughly 10 1/2 hours from expiring, the NFL and the NFL Players Association are discussing extending the negotiating deadline a week or two beyond today's deadline, according to a source.
The league proposed the extension this morning, before the owners and players held their 10th negotiating session before federal mediator George Cohen. The union's approval of the request would stall what would be one of the more historic days in league history.
Consider:
The Players Association plans to decertify its union by 4 p.m. Thursday absent a new agreement. At that point the owners would be expected to shut their doors and cease operations at 12:01 a.m. Friday -- in essence, locking out the players.
Such a move would open the league up to antitrust lawsuits, which sources say players are prepared to file.

Two hours from the extension deadline. If they don't agree to extend again and the union decertifies the 2011 will be in real jeopardy. Litigation doesn't move quickly, and there's no indication the circuit court is going to expedite this case.

Then again, something could still happen in terms of another extension. Ideally, they'll settle it at the bargaining table.

the players union officially overplayed its hand if they decertify. but, this should be expected when you appointed a litigation attorney with dreams of running for public office as your lead negotiator.

Adrian Peterson and Rashard Mendenhall...please shut up.

"It's modern-day slavery, you know?" Adrian Peterson

"Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel each other." Rashard Mendenhall

As if this wasn't dumb enough, Mendenhall opened his pie hole again when criticized.

"If you look back and dissect what I said, I didn't say that the NFL was slavery, I said that they parallel each other. Look up the word parallel," he wrote. "I could break down how but that would take an amount of ideology and big words that a lot of you wouldn't understand."

Hey dumbass, here are some words for you:

castration
rape
flogging

When the NFL does those things to you, and stops paying huge salaries to players, then you'll have a "parallel". Go to Africa and you'll see what "modern day slavery" looks like you fucking idiot. :roll1:

Mendenhall backs Peterson's 'slave' comment

Ray Lewis says crime will rise if season lost
One of the consequences of a lost NFL season will be an increase in crime, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said in a wide-raging one-on-one interview with ESPN.

"Do this research if we don't have a season -- watch how much evil, which we call crime, watch how much crime picks up, if you take away our game," Lewis told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

That's because, Lewis said, the NFL lockout affects "way more than us" -- the owners and the players.

"There's too many people that live through us, people live through us," he said. "Yeah, walk in the streets, the way I walk the streets, and I'm not talking about the people you see all the time."

When asked why he thought crime would increase if the NFL doesn't play games this year, Lewis said: "There's nothing else to do Sal."
