Labor agreement remains in limbo

Goodell had spent the four months since players felt steamrolled during mediation in Washington to try to undo the bitterness players felt during those talks. And those efforts, seemingly, continued Thursday.

Only to turn around and pull a publicity stunt to force the hand of the players by creating a "deal" which excluded some issues the players were fighting for and going public with it. It's like saying "here's the new deal, take it or leave it."

The players reaction has been pretty obvious to me.

Good job Goodell and owners... go tick their union off more, that will bring them closer...

The owners just don't want to take the blame for the lockout, they want the blame to shift to the players. Both sides are at fault and this just added gasoline to a fire that was about to burn itself out.
