NFL LOCKOUT UPDATE: Owners Approve New CBA, Lockout Almost Over

One down, one to go! The NFL lockout is almost over and the return of NFL football is nearly complete!

NFL owners have voted unanimously 31-0 (Raiders abstained) in favor of the new collective bargaining agreement and settling of the Brady v. NFL anti-trust lawsuit. Yeah, baby!

All that's left is for the players to approve, which I'm sure will happen. They have a conference call scheduled for 8 p.m. EST. 

Roger Goodell is expected to speak with the media very shortly. 

Star-divide

From Twitter:

Albert Breer 

Resolution passed by the owners.

daniel kaplan 

NFL Network just reported owners have ratified a deal to end the lockout. need to see what the conditions are

Adam Schefter 

Surprise, surprise: Owners ratified proposed new deal. Next....

Bob Glauber 

One down, one to go. NFL owners approve CBA and settlement terms. Players now set for 8 p.m. conference call with reps. #gettingthere

Andrew Brandt 

As expected, Owners approve CBA and decision to settle Brady v. NFL. We now await vote from Players.

Jim Trotter 

According to NFLN the owners voted 31-0 to approve settlement of the lawsuits. Oakland abstained. Football is in the players' hand.

Don't you get the feeling that...

I’ll bet you my left kidney that all those anonymous sources close to the negotiations are owners pissing in the ears of thankful journalists now able to ink there article.

Of course it is.

It’s brilliant on their part. But I want a deal done. They’re going to get screwed by the owners, just like the owners got screwed in 2006. Owners held a grudge, for some reason.

I don;t think there's any more pressure on the players now... and have no idea why the media is saynig that.

If you and I had a contract on the table, and I jumped at the chance to sign it.

Would that put pressure on you? Or, would it make you (and outside observers*) think that the deal was slanted in my direction… thus giving you sympathy that the owners are trying to screw them again.

Many people, especially the ones who are “siding” with the player, are giving the players sympathy, not pressure.

The owners loved the deal. I was surprised that 31 teams said yes… That means they love the deal.

So…

The skeptics (ie. player supporters especially) will assume that the deal is slanted towards the owners – still.

Thus… no pressure on the players because (many fans think) the deal is bad for the players.

Either we're miles away

or my English is that bad…

I personnally would have my lawyers go throught the whole thing as long as they have to (especially for a 10 year commitment) before signing anything.

You’re right, they don’t get pressure from me. But I seriously doubt I represent the average football fan. And if that pressure from most of those fans, ignorant of all the ramitifications involved and nurrishing themselves from the medias isn’t enough, medias are surely taking it in there own hands making sure players look like p***ks if they don’t ink that proposal.

That is 100% false. If you think the NFLPA doesn’t have a PR firm working HARD for their side, you are vastly underestimating their business savvy.

They are fighting for a 50% stake in a 9 Billion dollar pie.

They are investing in PR as much as the owners are.
