As a fan of the NFL do yourself a favor and go get a copy of the proposed League Important Dates and study when events are to take place.

Okay players the longer you delay signing the CBA the more fans will look at you. Owners have given the okay to it. UR turn! FOOTBALL TIME!

"Average NFL career is 3.7 years" perfect example of stats that lie. Most NFL careers end because of lack of talent not injury.

Love me some Vonnie Holiday but did he send that tweet or Jackie Chiles? Only missing an outrageous! Did owners tell u to put the balm on?

And its a power play by union to uncertify, and to file lawsuits, go to judge doty & judge nelson. Works both ways. But you had better wake up players, we as fans are getting fed up. WE WANT FOOTBALL! Not for you to sit on your hands twidling, and waiting to get everything your way.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen just reported live from the NFLPA headquarters in Washington, D.C. that while yesterday it appeared the players would have ample time to go through the proposed CBA and possibly vote to ratify it by the end of Friday, it now appears that the more likely timeline is for next week.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RT @KitMannRocks: @mortreport Does "no more statements" mean "No vote?" ? Not ruled out. Unlikely, unless 2 sides agree on couple of details

I am with you big dog, Help me Hos and Big Dog, Brain, CCBoy, I am about ready to explode if this drags out.

Big Dog, I got a reply back from one player rep on my frustration, I really let him have it, but he baically said, wouldnt you if you were a player and trying to get everything you can for your family, try to find loopholes to get everything you can? So, basically, that means we want more, give us more, and we will be trying to look for loopholes to get more and demand more from our pending lawsuits etc....

Thats why they want more time, so they can find loopholes to get more and more, while having us fans suffer. Help, about to explode!

Takeo should have retired 4 years ago. Some of these guys and their impulsive tweets are simply ridiculous. They have no clue.

Or it means the players want to actually read the 10 year agreement the owners voted on.

Personally, I think they are angry about the "sign it by Tuesday" threat from the NFL, and will vote on Wednesday.

No M'Kevon, I got it straight from a players rep's mouth, they want time to find loopholes so they can get more for themselves and their family. They, dont want to settle now, and not lose lawsuits, they want more money, and wont settle till they do. From a players rep's own mouth! Forget us fans or football till they get what they want. All the other stuff, is a ploy to get time to go over documents and find loopholes to get more from owners and us as fans.

Personally, I think they are angry about the "sign it by Tuesday" threat from the NFL, and will vote on Wednesday. All that is just a ploy to get more time to give Kessler more time to find loopholes for more money to get all they can, straight from the lips of a players rep.

See I told yah, we want to find loopholes, from a players rep's own mouth:
