Rumor- can anyone confirm?

The NFL players unions has the right on an annual basis to vote out an arbitrator. Turns out the date was up in the last couple days. When the results of the arbitration were released, the NFLPA immediately voted Mr. Bloch "off the island", in other words fired him. To me, if this is true the NFL has another serious problem to work on. Arbitrator would have a serious personal conflict of interest in ruling against a player in the future.

Happy Turkey day to all!

If that is true that is so very wrong and you are right, it promotes self preservation to the point of never ruling against the union.

I would hope in the next collective bargaining contract the owners take that off the table and tell the union to go "f" themselves. Arbitrators are supposed to be 100% neutral and therefore that is why they can moderate and make unbiased decisions. This would stack the cards heavily in the unions favor....... not right.

I am pro union but abuses such as these are what give unions bad names.

One has to admit, T.O. is a hell of an athlete; he is simply a social retard. I was happy to hear they upheld The Eagles suspension and placing him inactive for the remainder of the year. The big rumor now is that he is heading to Dallas, What do you think those odds are?

Not terriably good for T.O. especially after his last showing at Dallas. The one where he ran the ball back to the fifty and put the ball in the center of the star. This guy is a great athlete, simply great if only he learned to shut is mouth. He should be required to play with a muzzle on and he'll be fine.

Keyshawn, Terry Glenn and TO on the same roster with Bledsoe.... be a great passing game if the egos and the one upsmanship doesn't get in the way, which it will.

LOL actually might be fun watching TO, Keyshawn, and whoever else come to blows on the sidelines.

Hell, maybe they get to rolling around and fighting so bad that Terry Glenn has to pull off a Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders skirt to hide behind.


Mmmmmmm naked cheerleders........... mmmmmmmmmm

What I have heard is that the arbitrators have a one year contract. They can be renewed, or not. They just are not going to renew his contract.

In case everyone missed it, he was also the arbitrator in the Ricky Williams bonus case.
