CBA Negotiations not going well.

NFL owners and players met Tuesday in Washington for three hours for their second round of collective bargaining negotiations. Nothing was accomplished (the union was upset, actually, that commissioner Roger Goodell was not in attendance), and no date is set for the next round of negotiations. But just as he did the day after the first negotiating session, union chief DeMaurice Smith is heading Wednesday to Capitol Hill.

There's a lot more to the story linked above, but here's the meat of the item:

As he first told FanHouse last month, Smith believes the owners are planning to lock out the players in 2011, and both sides are working against a March deadline after which the 2010 season would be played without a salary cap and a 2011 lockout would be more difficult to prevent. So Smith is remaining in contact with Congress because it can help him with two specific threats against the league.

thx did not know. GOOD! die NFL die!

:runs for cover:

seriously the NFL is so screwed up while I'd really hate no football on Sunday it could be the best thing for it. let the ego bloated owners and players (and whoever else) ALL feel a big pinch for a change. I like NCAA way better anyway.
