I'm guessing that the Packers will cut or trade Nick Barnett and some point, now that AJ Hawk is back.

 

Barnett is due to make 6.5 million next year.

Apparently the NFL TV contracts were voided yesterday.

The NFL is obligated to negotiate the television contracts for the betterment of the league and the players. And since it was found through testimony and evidence that the NFL used possible payments during a lockout – to benefit only themselves and to harm the players – as part of the negotiations, the league didn’t act in good faith.

 

So that $4.2 billion the league thought it would have even if there are no games? It can't be touched at this point.

 

Yes, it’s very significant ruling. How significant? We won’t know that until Doty rules on damages at a hearing which has yet to be scheduled. The players could get money damages, their 59.5 percent cut, or it simply could be put in escrow.

Bears and Peppers restructure. Sounds like the Bears are going to save over $7mil on this years cap.

What is the deal over the "purple drank" thing?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_drank

Johnny Jolly of the Packers had a purple drank problem. Cost him all of last year. I still think that was a bit much.

He had at least 200 grams of codeine. I think that is a bit much.

 

Second degree felony, it wasnt as if he had a cup with a little bit in the bottom.

Eh, I can't keep up with all of the ways to poison yourself anymore.

Just wait until your kids become teenagers. You'll have a list of the drug schedules in your nightstand.

He also had no criminal history and all he got was probation.

 

Dante Stallworth killed someone and got a year. Mike Vick I think only got a year.

 

I think 8 games would have been good for Jolly.

Agreed. Who is he hurting besides himself when he's ingesting poison?

Well he might have been selling it, but hey its just some Purple drank. There are songs about it. It must be safe for use.

Per Rotoworld.

 

Tiki Barber has filed the paperwork to officially come out of retirement.

He's out of cash.

 

I'd be surprised if there's interest in a 36 year old who's been out of the game as long as he has.

He's out of cash.

 

I wonder if him leaving his 8-month pregnant (with twins!) wife for a 23 year old blonde intern has anything to do with that?

I enjoyed this article opening.

The agent for Kareem Jackson said the Texans' cornerback knows he used bad judgment when he tweeted cockfighting pictures from his vacation in the Dominican Republic.

@dkaplanSBJ - BREAKING NEWS: nfl players are set leave negotiating and go to court to decertify, source in room says

@dkaplanSBJ. - Now hearing may be one last ditch effort to avoid decertification. Things changing by the minute with less than an hr to go.

@peggykusinski - #NFLPA rep says he's told players to prepare for a lockout & expects a decision later today on de certifying.

@AdamSchefter - Owners and NFLPA meeting now -- the last gasp to try to make something happen.

I feel so bad for those guys, splitting up 9 billion dollars must be such a f***ing headache

I predict there will be no 18 game schedule. Maybe a decreased pre-season, but no 18 game schedule.

 

(could they meet halfway and go with a 17 game schedule?)

No pressure:

@skjensen - De Smith said "significant differences remain" and that union has asked for 10 years of audited financial statements by 5 pm

LOL.

 

Lockout imminent, then.
