I find it really curious that Hessian is one of the few here who has sided with the NFLPA*.

why is it curious? i always err on the side of labor, and the details of this situation have done nothing to dissuade me from that. in terms of the draft boycott, as I said, I don't like it, but I understand why it was suggested by the NFLPA* (nice touch, by the way).
Curious in the sense that you're the only person who has taken player's position on this situation. Oh and I wish I could take credit for the asterisk, but I got it from PFT.

I'm with Hessian on this one, and I'm a business owner. Owners have basically said, take a pay cut or stay home. Why would any current, or future player show up at a NFL party? Good for them, I think this actually helps them get back on the table and make a deal before the draft.
I hope that's what they are trying to force. Last thing the NFL wants is for there tv product to look horrible. Their tv contracts is what is driving the league right now. I'm sure ESPN is calling beefing if the millions they put into the draft comes off looking like a total waste of money. Then you will have the advertisers who [paid for spots on ESPN and NFLN having a problem as well. This tactic along with the ruling on April 6th hopefully will force these clowns to come to an agreement.
