Why is Tom Brady, Vincent Jackson, Drew Brees, and 7 other players holding the fans from the NFL?
It sounds strange, but true! The big issues are off the table including rookie pay scale, veteran benefits, and game schedule. The hold up now appears to be the 10 plaintiffs in the case filed against the NFL. Some are seeking cash benefits in the $10 million range and others want special accommodations guaranteed by the owners and the NFL. Is this fair for 10 players to hold up 1,900? How do you feel as a fan?

NFL Lockout to end Friday...If...
VIDEO
All signs point to the lockout finally coming to a close this Friday. There are a few issues that still need a resolution, with one being funding for the NFL retirement fund. The deal has to be a global deal, meaning all things addresses, for the new agreement to hold any water. Several teams and players are starting to position themselves for a short, fast, and furious free agency period....Keep your fingers crossed!
