...but not surprising at all.

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the NFLPA has made an economic counterproposal to the league regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst the Union's proposals: No escrow of 2020 salaries, a flat 2021 salary cap of $198.2 million, "spread revenue loss this year over 2022-2030 caps" and "all fully guaranteed money paid even if games are canceled." Only the last idea may be a non-starter, but none of this will be automatic. This is the dialogue that needs to be happening, but it's astounding it did not begin sooner. The supposed training camp report date of July 28 is only 11 days away. Profootballtalk reports the sides hope to have an agreement by next Tuesday or Wednesday.

From Rotoworld w/ Rotoworld comments:
ESPN's Dianna Russini reports the NFL and NFLPA have yet to formally agree on a July 28 report date for training camp. Per Russini, "the league and the player’s union have not agreed on dates of reporting for camp or prior dates for testing of COVID-19." The league probably has the unilateral ability to make players report, but as we saw with Major League Baseball, leagues would like to avoid using that kind of power at a time like this. Players like J.J. Watt have made the case that camp should only begin when both sides are truly ready, and that the downsides of rushing an arbitrary report date far outweigh the benefits.

Drew Brees said he wouldnt openly disrespect the flag - and he nearly got canceled.
Desean Jackson was an openly racisit bigot, and the retort to him 'We need to educate him and enable him better'
Deasean Jackson is a racist. Why try and make excuses for him?
From Rotoworld w/ Rotoworld comments:
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the league's latest proposal includes two preseason games in 2020. The NFLPA however wants no preseason plus testing frequency and injury protections for those who contract COVID-19. "We still don't have answers," one source told Pelissero. The owners seem intent on forcing two preseason games to fill their pockets while the players simply want to feel safe for being at-risk. With only two weeks until veterans report to training camp on July 28, the league and Union remain far apart on any reasonable outcome. Buckle up.

everyone is speculating about a "bombshell" report about to be released by WaPo about the "dark Redskins culture".....have to wait and see what is in there, but it kind of feels like a typical WaPo hit piece with a few unnamed sources and little effort to verify much.....maybe they will surprise me....

But, they instituted new venues today to try to sell immediately. Thinking about it and doing it are two different things. They are trying as hard as they can to do it today. They weren't three days ago.

Here's the article. Widespread sexual harassment.
