The front page of Sports Illustrated's website this morning features a picture of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell standing at a lectern, with Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson and Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt standing at his side.
Hunt and his fellow owners have settled on a collective-bargaining agreement that would end the lockout. Last night, Hunt said training camp would start on time, and the four-game preseason would take place as scheduled. But wait! The players say issues need to be resolved before they start banging into each other.
ESPN's John Clayton says the owners passed a new collective-bargaining agreement on Thursday in an effort to put pressure on the players. Looking at their calendars, the owners have noticed that the tedious but lucrative preseason is fast approaching. The Chiefs are scheduled to play Tampa Bay at Arrowhead on Friday, August 12.
The players may vote on the proposal today. If they say yes, a fabulous dorm room in St. Joseph awaits.

Part of the federal mediation (as much as I hate to involve the government in any ilk) should read: If either of you groups of assholes decide to pull childish shit like this again, you will pay the prior season's trickle down beneficiaries, i.e. hoteliers, hotel workers, restaurants, game day stadium employees, etc. 250% of that years revenue.
So there!
last edit, I've only really made one point. Here's proof from another 'page'. http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/20...
The poor structure of that last sentence only proves my points. Let's talk about urban renewal before we start getting our collective undies in a knot over some negotiations when our city is in decline.
I could care less. What about the HALF of the public schools that closed in the KC metropolitan area that closed?
