Dean Spanos part of "secret" NFL negotiations

We have another joint statement from the NFL and NFLPA*

It has been hard for the NFL and NFLPA* to agree on much of anything this offseason, so it’s nice to pass along the second joint statement from the two groups in as many weeks.

Even if it doesn’t tell us much.

“NFL owners and players have engaged in further confidential discussions before Chief Magistrate Judge Boylan this week. Those discussions will continue,” the statement reads, as provided by NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.

So the not-so-secret talks are even less secret now. Aiello writes that the NFL attendees this week include Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jerry Richardson, Clark Hunt, Robert Kraft, John Mara, and Dean Spanos. The five owners are all members of the league’s labor committee.

Representing the players: DeMaurice Smith, Kevin Mawae, Jeff Saturday, Mike Vrabel, Tony Richardson and Dominque Foxworth.

Once again, no lawyers are present. (Unless you count Smith.) NFL.com’s Albert Breer reports that talks are taking place in Long Island, not in New York City as first reported.

I wonder if they have a secret handshake, code words, and a decoder ring with satellite uplinks?

On three, we screw the fan!

:lol:

Thanks but I'd prefer to screw my wife.

Your wife isn't a fan?

I keep getting bills from the Chargers to pay my seats off. I keep telling them that as soon as I know that there is a season, I will, otherwise just give me what I have paid, back. I have untill June 10th to pay them off.

Your wife is gonna get screwed by the Owners Decision?

Of the Chiefs. Does that really count?

and what about the rest of us?

can Chiefs fans count?

Not sure but she sure doesn't hit like a girl.

That is sad........ give her our condolences.

Oh I do ....

How do you think I know she hits hard?

Does your wife have some western outfits?........ wink wink, nudge nudge.

They're more biker-inspired but a similar cut.
