I am Jack's overwhelming sense of indifference.

Watching NFLN now, sounds like players are balking on the deal, also sounds like those high dollar separate lawsuits ARE having an impact on moving forward.

Did we really expect them to vote today?

There's a lot of legal issues going on still. It's going to take some time.

Plus the players think they don't have all the information they need yet to vote.

Falcons owner expects league to ratify deal today

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank spoke to the media before entering the NFL owners meetings in Atlanta this morning.

When asked if he felt a deal would get done today he told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Consitution, “Yes, I think so. I’d be disappointed, like 330 million people in America, if it didn’t get done today.”

“There’s been wonderful communication between the labor committee (which is made up of) eight owners, commissioner, league staff, our counsel, everybody in that room,” Blank said. ”So, there won’t be any surprises from an ownership perspective.”

I think the owners will ok the deal today, but it doesnt look like the players will.
