This is getting old. My patience is wearing very thin for this sport and the greed involved. It's very ironic how much this is affecting the little people yet the owners and players are the ones getting the "woe is me" publicity. It's really too bad they couldn't just bring in replacement players and be done with it. I would route for the Dolphins just as hard with replacement players and maybe that will open the eyes of both the players and owners that Football is just not the same when you are too greedy.
Eh, sounds like de rigeour temporary injunction the NFL's problem is they need not only a longer term injunction they also need a reversal of Judge Nelsons' entire finding of fact which will not happen, however if it does the matter is simply handed right back to Judge Nelson but with 8th circuit guidance. Contrary to popular opinion it is quite difficult to have a finding of fact tossed out.
Update: ESPN has retracted their report of a temporary stay being granted. The lockout is still ended, for now.
Confirmed, the 8th Circuit has issued a stay, the lockout is back on. Mods, please remove the RETRACTED from the headline.
The lockout is officially back on as NFL policy. Teams cannot contact players. Players can’t work out or receive medical treatment. No OTAs or minicamps. No rookie camps. No free agency. Silver lining: this is just a temporary stay. Another ruling will be issued next week.
The NFL’s request for an expedited hearing has been granted. Arguments in front of the 8th Circuit (the same three judges who granted the temporary stay of Judge Nelson’s ruling) begin one month from today, on June 3.
