[QUOTE="armand34, post: 362388, member: 2251"] [b]This CBA/DISERT of PLAYERS/RUMORS/LIES/ is straight up AGGRAVATING![/b] [ATTACH=full]9651[/ATTACH] From D. SMITH (Players REP), the bottom line requirement from the former PA was they wanted justification of NFL CLUBS' finances to illustrate why they wanted to opt out of the contract...SUPPOSEDLY the owners agreed to relinquish 5 years of the FINANCE HISTORY, SUPPOSEDLY the former PA wants 10 years of FINANCIAL HISTORY from the clubs...supposedly they denied that request and have dodged this option multiple times. NFL CLUBS may have to be forced to show their books if this gets taken into an expensive legal process...they don't want to do that...but, from what I'm interpreting throughout this process is that D.SMITH will not agree to JACK**** unless they produce their requested financial history of 10 years... I think both sides have both been at high degrees of being [B]UNCOOPERATIVE[/B] how does this effect me personally? As a fan I'm beyond annoyed and as a Packers fan...I'm pissed...I don't really care about who makes what kind of money. I just want to see FOOTBALL played and I want MY DEFENDING SUPERBOWL PACKERS to be working hard at a repeat. This completely kills that. This delay of the game, delay of the offseason, delay of free agency...is KILLING a great opportunity for the PACKERS. 2nd youngest team in the NFL, DEFENDING SUPERBOWL CHAMPS, HIGH IN DEPTH, TRADE-ABLE PLAYERS for picks...all of which can not be done b/c the OWNERS weren't getting a BIG enough piece of the PIE. So, they opted out...frankly in my opinion MANY INDIVIDUALS are capable of doing the job of the OWNER...why should they be so OVERLY compensated??? Very few people in the WORLD can do what these players do and what former players have done. SO JUSTIFY FOR ME...why the OWNERS need to take away money from these players PAST PRESENT & FUTURE?! Oh they want to build and upgrade their stadiums...no problem...that's what the additonal $800,000,000 per year was for that the PLAYERS originally agreed on Owners want 18 games, more revenue...I don't want 18 games, who's to say that those extra 2 games don't mean diddly for playoff teams and they basically start the likes of Matt Flynn & Sage Rosenfels in a season finale of GIANTS PACKERS...EWW! Answer me this, why does this FUTURE CBA have to have SO MANY CHANGES, can't they make small steps towards a FINAL RESULT...why does ALL THE "PROBLEMS" need to be fixed in 16 days? Who can pull that off? Obviously neither side can!
