I have been involved in Union negotiations in the past. The rule from the union was to never accept the first agreement placed in front of them from the company. There was always the feeling the first proposed agreement was leaning too much toward the company, whether it was or not, so the union would vote it down and hold out for another "chip". Time was money for the company, so back to the table they would go. Not sure exactly who has the upper hand in this, but we'll surely find out by Tuesday. Isnt this the 3rd or 4th proposal the owners submitted to the players though?

*A double dip recession qualifies as a "Depression". The government has avoided the big D word for awhile now.

Canton Ohio lost 1.5 million dollars when the Hall of Fame game was canceled. There's no other way to say this...The players are responsible for this, and every penny lost (or job lost) due to this situation now.
