I have my own question If it's extended... Does that mean free agency still go on tonight?

No, per Peter King, FA can't start until their is a new CBA in place

Found this on Yahoo.

Twenty-four more hours of talks can turn into 48 and then 72. Doesn't mean it will be, but it can be a big deal.

So the owners and players union finally agree on one thing: Postpone their ultimate disagreement for at least another 24 hours.

We are all f**ked.

Obama refuses to intervene.

Just take your millions and keep the NFL moving you sorry sacks of s**t! Some people struggle to get NFL Sunday Ticket monthly just to watch your rich asses run around and buy tickets to the games to put money in the owners pockets, dish out eight bucks a beer and get ripped off every damn day being NFL fans.

Play football you silly f*gs.

If they hold out and we miss some of the season, I am sure it will hurt the NFL the same way it hurtthe MLB. Or it could be due to their severe inbalance in team spending...

Either way... GET IT DONE!!!! I NEED ME SOME FREE AGENCY ACTION TO TALK ABOUT!!!!

what i heard is that the 24 hour extention is to decide on how long of a bigger extention they want to create so that it doesn't lockout. heard that 1 week extention was being talked about.

Obama is right. The NFL and the players should be able to work this out without presidential intervention. Besides the millions of Americans who don't care about football would have a problem with him wasting time on this situation.

Looks like the 24 hour window is nothing more then a pr stunt...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/03/redskins-player-rep-vonnie-holliday-says-sides-not-in-the-same-ballpark/

Redskins NFLPA rep Vonnie Holliday isn’t feeling more optimistic about the labor situation despite the league and union agreeing on a 24-hour extension to continue talking.

Holliday told Lindsay Czarniak of NBC4 in Washington that the two sides “are not in the same ballpark” and have not discussed major issues. He told the Washington Post that owners still haven’t given a formal proposal, so the NFLPA has little to discuss.

Holliday’s words run somewhat contrary to the widespread reports that the league made a proposal Thursday that included some compromise. Perhaps it wasn’t a formal proposal, but something significant happened Thursday.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said the league made a proposal that the union viewed in a positive light and it got the ball rolling for progress. The union also reportedly made some concessions.

Despite Holliday’s comments, an extension can’t be viewed as a bad thing for NFL fans. Especially if it forces another, longer extension.
