NFLPA Goes Off On Goodell Letter- Day 7 ((Or Is It 8?))

By delivering one of their own- all four pages of one...

The highlights... it's the equivalent of "you're wrong..."

"You had ample time over the last two years to make a proposal that would be fair to both sides, but you failed to do so. During the last week of the mediation, we waited the entire week for the NFL to make a new economic proposal," the players wrote to Goodell. "That proposal did not come until 12:30 [p.m.] on Friday, and, when we examined it, we found it was worse than the proposal the NFL had made the prior week when we agreed to extend the mediation."

And the players ended their response by telling Goodell to call their lawyers if he wants to get back to talking...

Chief Shield Labor Negotiator Jeff Pash responded to their response by responding:

"Debating the merits of the offer in this fashion is what collective bargaining is all about. ... This letter again proves that the most sensible step for everyone is to get back to bargaining."

The HQ still thinks we're heading hyah...


Thanks to Peter Jennings and ABC News...
