The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

Ah, good old Dick the Butcher said it well. I found this tidbit hilarious, and I'm glad the NFL and Smith have symbolically 'killed' all the lawyers:

NFL | Talks back on track after setback
Wed, 15 Jun 2011 08:35:09 -0700

Updating an ongoing story, the talks between the NFL and the NFL trade association almost broke down Tuesday, June 14, after the lawyers re-entered the talks but they have now been asked to not be involved in the direct negotiations. The talks are on track and are in a good place now with the lawyers not involved.

Bring it on, beeyatchs. Bring it on.

In the end... the 300 page document will be written by the lawyers.

This too.

It was a 25 page document until the lawyers decided to re-write it in their own language.

 

[Matt L]

we sure are putting a lot of faith in "unnamed sources"

Sure it will, but it sounds like the two sides aren't going to let the lawyers bicker the negotiations to death. Don't be too sensitive about the quote and topic, bro. I may joke about 'em, but I almost went into the field myself.

I love this line from the commercial for Schmuckman Kempler & Schemph or whoever, I forget the firm.
"You know how to tell you need a lawyer? When somebody tells you you don't need a lawyer"
I'm guessing you also need one if someone says you do.

True. Just like politicians.

And charge $400/hour to do it......at a snail's pace

 

[Cardiac]

It's good to see the talks going well and it appears the owners and players have already agreed on something. Let's throw the lawyers under the PR bus and blame them for why it took so long for a new CBA to be agreed on.

If you were being paid by millionaires and billionaires, you better charge more than that...

You just fail to appreciate the importance of "whereas"

 

[LVG]

Of course I've got lawyers. They're like nuclear weapons: I've got em coz everyone else has. But as soon as you use them they screw everything up.

Down the road my plan is to retire and become an attorney for the delight of knowing I'll never need one again. And, if you ever see or hear me refer to myself as "esquire" shoot me dead on the spot.

These are the best attorneys in the world.

Add a 1 in front of that 400 and you're at a more realistic number.

 

[27Veer]

Killing the lawyers in general wouldn't be a bad idea.

A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.

i still like the old joke. a bus carrying a bunch of lawyers went off the road and crashed and burned 400 feet down, what was so tragic was there were 2 empty seats. i hate lawyers, especially divorce lawyers.

Thou is better off a fool than than to pay the devil for an o-ring stretcheth.

A lawyer was shopping for a tombstone. After he had made his selection, the stonecutter asked him what inscription he would like on it.

"Here lies an honest man and a lawyer," responded the lawyer.

"Sorry, but I can't do that," replied the stonecutter. "In this state, it's against the law to bury two people in the same grave

I don't want to die
