I was just confused over what you had here and what the news/sportscasters had aired on ESPN and our local channels about this. (We allknow what I think iof them.) Maybe they will get this done soon then. Some of these owners may be beginning to realize that they are loosing their money-making fan base more and more as the days/weeks tick by. Thanks bay!!!

So the owners must vote when they get all of those concepts hammered out. So 24 owners must approve in order to move forward to present it to the players. Pain in the butt, but it has to be done.

At least that is my understanding of it.

I was under the impression that this that bay has above is what Goodell is going to take and meet with Smith on Thursday in Chicago (I think) and present to him as what the owners are presenting. Apparantely this is not the case. The media on t.v. showed Goodell talking to the owners today and presenting this to the group that was, and has been, in the meetings with him the past several days. So this is a proposal from teh players? Correct? This looks super to me, especially the part of not having to go through this for another 10 years!
