240 Minute Countdown...(merged)

[da#1skinsfan]

NFL Network reporting an answer will be made from the owners within the next 60 minutes. Jerry Jones says its coming down to the last minute, there has been some "steps backward" today. Al Davis bitterly talked about Upshaw too and says they are trying to get something done, it doesnt look good.

We'll know soon enough.

Schefter reporting that some owners are making a switch on their stance...and he thinks the owners will move forward with an agreement.

[SkinsFanMania]

tick tock tick tock. I wonder which owners are changing their minds.

[Supreme Wu]

SOO if Jerry was holding out, and he thinks there's been 'steps backwards', then that means there's been forward progress on an agreement, right?

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

I hope they agree and I hope Free Agency starts at 12:01 like they said....tired of the BS.....

[TaylorPickSix]

well regardless of how it goes teams have an additional two hours to get under whatever the cap will be. now 11 is the cap deadline.

[TaylorPickSix]

Deadline for teams to get under cap has been delayed two hours, from 9:00 PM EST to 11:00 PM EST.
Per KFFL.com


NFL | Salary cap deadline pushed back two hours

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports the NFL's waiver deadline to get below the salary cap has been moved back two hours, from 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, March 8, to 11 p.m. ET.

[Coach Williams]

Tagliabue as Jack Bauer-Son of a *****, we gotta agree within the hour.

The following takes place between 7 PM and 8 PM on the day of the NFL Owners Meeting...

[CPstretch]

i'm sure we won't hear anything important come 8 PM

[dreamshatterer]

Another extension on the deadline?!?! Seriously, :wtf: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kevind]

this is crazy...

75% of the owners have to agree

[Crash1340]

PCS hit me again!!!!

That does it...both of you are grounded from the off-season :silly:


oops, guess there has to be an off-season first. either way I just want some kind of resolve...I dont care what they do, just do something.

[Ant15fromNJ]

They better agree on something.

[Johnny Punani2]

The Drama!! The Suspense!!

This is turning into a Soap Opera...

[COOLhandsCOOLEY]

Are we there yet?

What channel should I be watching? The NFL channel seems to be doing training camp stuff.

[thelarkascend1ng]

who wins in a fight,

daniel snyder or jerry jones?

[da#1skinsfan]

Im sure the NFL channel will cut to Schefter if something happens, hes standing by live at the owners meeting in Dallas.

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

daniel snyder wins of course.

[Warhead36]

*cue the 24 clock*

(Bauer Voice)WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.



Seriously anyone think Bauer at the Owners Meetings would be the perfect guy to spark discussion? ;)

[MLSKINS]

who wins in a fight,

daniel snyder or jerry jones?
Your man Jerry Jones, you know them pipe heads can fight.

[speedmike]

Oh God! Let this be over!

[Tom [Giants fan]]

I guess the real question is........





Deal Or No Deal?

[Lil Kenzo]

With all this CBA talk...I'm going to put my head through a wall.

[SkinsNoles21]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfllabor&prov=st&type=lgns

says its been pushed back to 11pm

nevermind that is just the time allowed to get under the cap

[da#1skinsfan]

Yep Howie Mandel

[MLSKINS]

there is an article on yahoo that is sayin it has been pushed back to 11pm go look
Are you kidding??

[CPstretch]

the clock on my comp just turned to 8:00 PM. anyone have any news?

[Byner21]

there is an article on yahoo that is sayin it has been pushed back to 11pm go look

that's the deadline to get under the cap; i think the deadline to give the NFLPA a yay or nay is still in...1 minute!

[da#1skinsfan]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfllabor&prov=st&type=lgns

says its been pushed back to 11pm

That was forecasted and predicted correctly by our man Dinello, also reported on NFL network earlier...pushed to 11 in the hopes that this deal gets done (like all the other pushes...ugh).

Free Agency still sched for 12:01. Get under the cap by 11, start the signing at 12.

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

Either this is the 2 minute warning or the 2 hour and 40 minute warning

[Coach Williams]

Originally teams had until 9 p.m. EST to get under the salary cap. That deadline has been pushed back two hours to 11 p.m. EST.

[Mister Happy]

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=1702298

NFL spokesman Joe Browne, in announcing the deadline change, said it was made to give additional time to reach agreement on the complicated plans on which they are working. The 8 p.m. EST deadline for informing the union whether the owners accept or reject their proposal stands, although there was some question whether the league might be switching time zones Gene Upshaw, the executive director of the players union was in Hawaii, where 8 p.m. would be 1 a.m EST.

[da#1skinsfan]

NFL Network coming up now...

[Warhead36]

No that is just an extension to get under the cap. That was announced an hour ago.

[kevind]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfllabor&prov=st&type=lgns

says its been pushed back to 11pm

nevermind that is just the time allowed to get under the cap

believe thats the deadline to be under the cap, not the time to agree on the deal

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

Please let us have a CBA, please!

[Tom [Giants fan]]

The time for teams to get under the salary cap has been pushed back to 11pm, not the deadline to accept the CBA.

Although I just read that Upshaw is in Hawaii where 8pm is 1am ET. Who knows if they play the time zone game giving themselves five more hours. But I think we should see something any minute now on whether it was accepted or not.

[Coach Williams]

minute warning or the 2 hour and 40 minute warning


:doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

[da#1skinsfan]

They say Jerry Jones just came out and said they are close! Another half hour apparently...

[we_want_56]

Jerry Jones said their close.

Update to come in a half hour.

[visionary]

Three hours to go, any updates? Other than to say that it's been pushed back?

[da#1skinsfan]

And yep, Upshaw is in Hawaii, left earlier today.

[Coach Williams]

ok...was it pushed or not.....

[kevind]

lol, i thought the deadline was 8, not 8:30

[we_want_56]

Wait a second. These guys are in Dallas. Shouldn't their clock say 7 right now.

And if they're going by Upshaw. 8pm in Hawaii is 1 am. Eastern

[CPstretch]

why the hell is upshaw in hawaii? celebrating that he ruined the nfl?

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

damn it....

[we_want_56]

OK I think the deadline to get under the cap is 11. But the CBA deadline is 8pm.

[DCBnG21]

CPStretch....the NFLPA meeting is in Hawaii this week.

[CPstretch]

Why am I not surprised they need another 30 minutes?

[we_want_56]

why the hell is upshaw in hawaii? celebrating that he ruined the nfl?

WHo knows?

After all this I'm stressed out too. I might have to join him in Hawaii.

[thr0xx]

OK I think the deadline to get under the cap is 11. But the CBA deadline is 8pm.

i believe its 9pm for cba, and 11pm for salary cap. and they just announced that jerry jones said they were close, and should have a decision in about 30 mins.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9293254

[MLSKINS]

damn, now i look like an idiot
I think you owned yourself. Am I right?

[DCBnG21]

damn, now i look like an idiot

Nah, dude, I only came across it by accident. If this didn't get signed, you'll be right on. Besides, he may be out of a job if this doesn't go through, so it'll be all he has left to do...

[CPstretch]

WHo knows?

After all this I'm stressed out too. I might have to join him in Hawaii.

count me in too

[waterwagen]

lol, i thought the deadline was 8, not 8:30Maybe it's 8pm CENTRAL, not eastern. After all, central is the timezone they are working in.

[IM A REDSKIN FAN]

3O more minutes....they said that Tags pulled 6 owners aside to talk to them....

[Underwater Ally]

why the hell is upshaw in hawaii? celebrating that he ruined the nfl?

Working hard for the players, ya know...

[Never21Forgotten36]

I predict another 72 hour extension.

[we_want_56]

We have somewhat of a dedline.

From Jerry Jones Per NFL network at the bottom of the screen.

A decision will be made by 8:30 est.

We have a and a set time (at least it seems that way.)

[Coach Williams]

I predict another 72 hour extension.

I predict we'll beat you for 72 hours..... :silly:

[Peregrine]

Its funny though, every owner seems to be upset with Upshaw. But because they want a season they are willing to take what they dont want and still go for a possible CBA extension. Cant say im very fond of Upshaw at all, not exactly the most honest man.

Regardless has been a most amusing situation and cant wait to see the end result, either way :-)

[visionary]

The deadline for the cap cuts was 9 pm and it was moved back to 11.

the deadline for Free Agency to start is still 12:01 am I think.
Though it would supposedly move to Friday 12:01 am if a deal is reached.

[CPstretch]

20 minutes until the new deadline!!!

[we_want_56]

If they push this deadline one more time while leaving us with absolutley no new knowledge of the situation.

I'm going to TP Gene Upshaw's office. in Washington D.C.

[Peregrine]

Unfortunatlly I cant watch ESPN because both TVs are either occupied or remotes have been lost and cannot change channel. So this is my news source. Of course it would be nice if someone would act like a Mediot and bash Snyder and Gibbs 24/7 to make it feel like im wathing it.

[bubba9497]

3O more minutes....they said that Tags pulled 6 owners aside to talk to them....


ut oh, somebody's in trouble :nono:

[Never21Forgotten36]

I predict we'll beat you for 72 hours..... :silly:



Then I am praying for a final decision now.

[Underwater Ally]

I predict another 72 hour extension.


Then I will officially hate everyone.

[Coach Williams]

Then I am praying for a final decision now.

:laugh: :laugh:

18 minutes......

Wow theres 118 people in this thread right now. This is almost as nerve wrecking as a game.

[CPstretch]

TAGS is the man here. nobody have mentioned anything about how he is trying to keep this thing together which is what the skins neeeeed.

go tags!

[redskin81]

1 way or the other we need an answear.

Damn!

We have more people here than in Arizona's Preseason games!

[da#1skinsfan]

Al Davis looked pissed talking about it earlier...I definitely think these guys are at their wits ends and the owners are going to cave in...lets hope so at least.

[we_want_56]

1 way or the other we need an answear.

You're in Dallas go drive to the airport and get us an answer.
:laugh:

[DCBnG21]

It's weird, I'm tense like it's a nail biter of a game. Thing is...it's weird. You don't want to get the CBA and get a raw deal out of it all, but you don't want to not get the CBA and not have football. There are many bad outcomes, but very few good ones.

I hope Upsh*t gets fired.

[PapaDRoc]

go tags!
He used to live right next to my grandmother.

Just trying to mention something interesting. :whoknows:

[waterwagen]

If after all this nerve wracking waiting over the past week, we don't get a CBA... :tantrum:

Hell, we have more people here than arizona's regular season games.

[Coach Williams]

we just topped 133 with 14 to go

[CPstretch]

they should replace gene upshaw with regan upshaw.

i interned at the skins 2 years ago and got to know him, he was the man!

13 minutes...

[we_want_56]

14 minutes

[rlhjr34]

I have a bad feeling this deadline is going to get moved back again. It's fine with me as long as we get a cap so we can be active in FA and fill some holes.

[Coach Williams]

Hell, we have more people here than arizona's regular season games.

Echo ;)

[redskin81]

You're in Dallas go drive to the airport and get us an answer.

Belive me i thought about it. While im there i'll tell the owners that the fans are the ones who make them and the players millions and that im there as a rep for the fans.

[SonnyRules]

alright who left:laugh: I guess someone couldn't take it :laugh:

never mind he brought 4 friends back with'm

I did, but I'm back now....

[Peregrine]

I hope tags sends them to the naughty mat.

[DieselPwr44]

Whether or not this deal gets signed, does this decision(in any way, shape or form) keep us from drinking beer? Because if it does, that would really suck. :silly:




Anyone here think that the six owners pulled aside are high revenue owners?? IMO, I hope like hell Snyder and Jones fight the good fight and say "hell no!" to the Union.
Asking your employer for 60% of the profit is outrageous.

A little more than two hours before the latest deadline to accept or turn down the NFL Players Association's offer to extend the labor agreement, the owners pushed it back again. This time they extended the deadline for teams to get under the salary cap by two hours, from 9 p.m. EST until 11 p.m.


EDIT: Please merge, didn't realize that 240 minute countdown thread was covering this topic as well. Stupid me. I just searched for the link, my bad.

If they get in my way, I'll have to take them out too. I would get away with it, because I'd just plead insanity. Due to the lengthy negotiations. Everyone would understand.

That's good news, means the low revenue teams probably got the worse of the deal.

[MLSKINS]

Thank You; Thank you!!!

Damn I think I have to change my screen name though. I just noticed.
How do you do that?

[MLSKINS]

On Redskins.com it still says no news yet.

[kingarthur65]

I heard the cap is 102M, if that's so.. i dont think it's enough to make us very competitive in FA

[shallyshal]

ooooohhhh... maybe it means the small club owners got screwed...!! yeah !

[Warhead36]

Yeah but with the new CBA we're not affected by a bunch of incentives and all this other complicated stuff so just adding a new CBA automatically makes our cap # go down without cutting or restructuring anyone.

I heard/read that we can get comfortably under the cap without restructuring anyone.
