The decision on the appeal is supposed to come out within the next few hours. If the appeal is denied, I guess the teams can start trading and signing players in the few hours up to the draft. Could be interesting.

The Dolphins will take a long snapper in the first round.

A guard...not sexy but needed. Now Richie Incogneto can play guard again.

Typical day in Eagle-land... The Eagles have two starting quarterbacks on their roster going into a draft where two teams picked second or third round talent at the position within the first 12 picks.

I was at the Eagles draft party at the Linc last night. Before coming out of the tunnel and going on to the field there was this sign...



Do you think they have one of those signs at Gillette stadium? Maybe the Patriots just didn't know.

Dolphins got a RB I wonder if he smokes pot

Work it out, fuckers!
AP sources: NFL talks to be held again next week

More negotiations between NFL owners and players are on the way.

Two people familiar with the talks told The Associated Press on Friday that the sides will resume negotiations early next week at an undisclosed site. The lockout is deep into its fourth month, and this will be the fifth set of “secret” meetings.

Those familiar with the negotiations spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks are supposed to be confidential.

While each side has acknowledged progress, a new collective bargaining agreement is not imminent. One of those knowledgeable about the talks said conference calls are being set up to discuss some topics, but not the major issue of splitting revenues. The person says that is being negotiated “face to face.”

The sides completed two days of talks at a beachfront resort in Hull, Mass., on Thursday. On hand were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, owners John Mara of the New York Giants, Jerry Richardson of the Carolina Panthers, Clark Hunt of the Kansas City Chiefs, Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots and Dean Spanos of the San Diego Chargers.

Where is Hull, Mass? Should we have had a staffmember crash the meeting in a TMR T-shirt?

Hull is old Yankee money, it doesn't get much whiter anywhere. I know exactly where they are meeting. I am not getting near that place without a black bowtie and a towel drapped over my arm. I would get pulled over 5 times before I got to the place

I want the damned "Road to Superbowl XLV" DVD to be released. It pisses me off they haven't even announced it yet. It should have been out by now....the fuckers.
