The NFL has moved a step closer to labor peace for another decade.
Player representatives have voted to send a new labor deal approved by the owners to the full union membership. A simple majority of some 2,000 players must accept the agreement for it to go into effect this year.
After nearly four hours of meetings between player reps and members of the NFL’s negotiating committee Tuesday in Indianapolis, the 32 team reps spent several more hours discussing the deal. They then gave the nod early Wednesday for all NFL Players Association members to make the final decision.
The new CBA calls for a 17-game regular season, which is expected to begin in 2021; more roster spots; a shortened preseason; a higher percentage of revenues for players; and upgraded pensions for former players. The owners approved it last Thursday, though not unanimously.
Several high profile players, including Russell Wilson and JJ watt, have said they will vote no.
Aaron Rodgers was said to be a very vocal critic in the meetings, both Friday and on Tuesday night and said he would also vote.
Markus Howard, the nation’s leading scorer, poured in 30 points as Marquette romped past Georgetown 93-69. The win snaps a 3-game losing streak for the Golden Eagles, which had knocked them out of the Top 25. Howard, who came in averaging 27.1 points per game, was 10-of-16 shooting and made half of his 10 3-point attempts. Sacar Anim had 15 points for Marquette as did Jamal Cain. Brendan Bailey had 10 points while Jayce Johnson grabbed 11 rebounds to go with nine points. Jagan Mosely had 19 points and six rebounds for the Hoyas. Jahvon Blair added 15 points. Jamorko Pickett had 12 points.
Multiple reports say that one of the leading playmakers for the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team is staying in the Big Ten. Kobe King will be transferring to Nebraska. Huge pick up for Fred Hoiberg and the Cornhuskers. King was averaging double-figures for the Badgers before he left the team late last month. King said he left the Wisconsin program because it wasn’t “the right fit for me as a player and person.” King played three seasons at Wisconsin and averaged 10 points per game with 2.8 rebounds as a sophomore. Nebraska will submit a waiver for his immediate eligibility. If that is denied, he’ll sit out one year and will have two seasons to play.
In Cactus League play on Wednesday, the Brewers and the Giants played to a 3-3 tie. Today, Milwaukee hosts the Royals at Maryvale. First pitch is at 2:05.
