Mire NFLPA lawyers, including Jeffrey Kessler, head in to the building. About 10 guys total here yesterday, I was told. Same format today.

I personally hope the owners lose out on preseason games... Serves them right.

Dont think you really want to see that. Why? Because if the owners lose money because of no preseason games, then I feel the owners will be ticked off at the players, and dig in their heels. Making the players suffer, and possibly try to divide and break up the union and give in to owners demands. Remember, half the players arent millionaires, and are already suffering with expenses.

They better start using those degrees and earn some money...

Truer words were never spoken...

In all fairness there are plenty of people who aren't football players trying to do exactly that and are having trouble in this economy.

Or quit buying $250,000 homes on a $300,000 salary. Or quit going to bars and spending $10,000 (desean jackson). Or quit buying $78,000 of jewelry (that must be a "cultural thing").

NFLPA general counsel Richard Berthelsen just arrived at the meetings. Looked like he just got to the area, with bags in hand.

What??? And why would that be a problem? A $250,000 home would leave them with about a $1,400 monthly payment.

I still dont feel sorry for them. You get to play a game for a living. Its just like any other business .. 200k a year is good for most people.

That's an interesting fact. I wonder what they could be saying. In the end, what matters though is the new CBA, everything else is just sideshows.

They probably just sit around and ask Brady about hair care products and Gisele.
