Just saw the interview, he basically said the players will vote tonight. They've scheduled a conference call with players and player reps for tonight for 8pm. He didn't come right out and say it, he wavered a little, but he did say it.
Just thought I'd pass along, not sure if mentioned elsewhere.

We knew there was an 8 PM conference call, but Pitts saying there'll be a vote is new.
De Smith has been on the phone with Goodell trying to figure out how to lift the lockout if both sides vote tonight. -

NFL Lockout appears to be over - Owners ratify proposal
Just saw it on twitter... Take it for what it is.
Waiting on player votes now for proposed CBA. -
De Smith just popped in behind Mort while he was doing a live report. He had a big grin on his face, and while he didn't have much of a comment beyond that the owners should be sending over final documentation that the players will review.
The smile on his face certainly made me feel good about the chances of a deal tonight. -
...and on the 8th day, God said "let there be football", and he saw that it was good.

Odds that Ralph Wilson doesnt understand it, Mike Brown hates it and Bill Bidwell cried. Oh and Al Davis' corpses' proxy voted against it ?
-
Ugh, and now John Clayton comes on saying that it doesn't sound like the lockout will be lifted until the union is re-certified, which won't be until next week.

THe proxy abstained. -
good things

I guess Al Davis is in pretty bad shape, eh?

Calender with details of "offseason" schedules following Union re-certification is being distributed to the press. Should be out there somewhere soon. Calender of events really depends on players at this point.

The union must re-certify or, there is no deal. The reason behind that is that if there is no union, future incoming players can file anti-trust suits. This is the last major stumbling block.

Bucket o' cold water.....applied:
"“As you know the Owners have ratified their proposal to settle our differences,” the e-mail states. “It is my understanding they are forwarding it to us. As you may have heard, they apparently approved a supplemental revenue sharing proposal. Obviously, we have not been a part of those discussions. As you know from yesterday, issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open other issues such as workers compensation, economic issues and end of deal terms remain unresolved. There is no agreement between the NFL and the Players at this time. I look forward to our call tonight.”" -
They're now saying that the players will not vote tonight!
-
Thats what im seeing too.

Where did the NFL post the supplemental revenue sharing portion of the CBA? Anyone have a link???
-
So basically, owners tried pulling a fast one. It backfired!
-
One side ratifying a proposal that includes provisions that have not yet been agreed to is completely shameless, and that's being kind. -

The owners are smart. Some may have been born with money, but dammit they know how to keep it. Power play or not, they have succeeded in shifting the majority of public opinion. Majority rules in the court of public opinion.
