WASHINGTON - NFL players ratified a new, 10-year collective bargaining agreement Thursday, hours after it was finalized, and two people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press the contract allows the NFL to become the first major U.S. professional sports league to use blood testing for human growth hormone. They spoke on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made about the details of the CBA.
NEW YORK -- The NBA's labor deal has expired, and the league has locked out its players, the second pro sports league shut down by labor strife. The collective bargaining agreement, which owners say cost them millions of dollars a year, ended at midnight after players and owners failed to reach a new deal.

He's always been there in every collective bargaining agreement, he's always been there in expansion, he was chairman of the board (of governors)," [David Stern] said in an interview with pistons.com last year. "He served with respect to really bringing the NBA into the modern age. He's been an adviser on international issues. He always has a good perspective on officiating and basketball, as well. In presenting [Bill Davidson] to the Hall of Fame in September, Pistons president Joe Dumars said: "Davidson epitomized everything you wanted in a great owner, incredible character, honest, straightforward. When someone is a trailblazer, a risktaker, an innovator, that person should be recognized." In 2004, all three of the teams he owned the Pistons, Shock and the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning...

NFL players on Thursday ratified a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement, marking the official end of the labor fight and opening the door for more thorough league-wide drug testing. The NFL stands to become the first major sports league that tests blood for human growth hormone, according to an individual familiar with the language of the deal. The previous CBA allowed only for urine testing, which is not a reliable way to detect HGH.
Major League Soccer's Collective Bargaining Agreement expires Feb. 12, and hopefully leaves far behind its archaic concepts and disregard for FIFA's labor regulations. After enduring the unsteady infancy years, the players deserve a bigger piece of the cheddar, especially when you consider the growth since the last CBA was signed in 2004: Seven new stadiums were built, six franchises joined and David Beckham signed a contract reportedly worth $250 million.

Issues which prevented a new NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement from being reached: *The NFL demanded a multi-billion dollar giveback and refused to provide any legitimate financial information to justify it.
There's a clause in the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement that would allow the owners to cut the preseason schedule to two games in 2013. Clearly, the owners haven't given up on an 18-game schedule and want the players to revisit the idea. I'm not in favor of an 18-game regular season. But the thought of a shortened preseason seemed awfully enticing Thursday evening, when the Bills closed the preseason with a 16-6 loss at home to the Detroit Lions in an exhibition that had all the drama of a city school board rerun.
The fog surrounding the NHL's new collective bargaining agreement is so dense that there are bound to be huge mistakes by a few teams or agents before the 600-page document becomes clear and easy to understand. For that reason, among others, the Washington Capitals are taking a slow and cautious approach, not diving headlong into the pool before checking the bottom.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Talks on a new collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the players union are expected to begin next month, with an eye on avoiding a lockout that could disrupt the 2011 season. Jeff Pash, the NFL's executive vice president and general counsel, said Tuesday at the NFL meetings he believes both the league and new NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith have laid "a good groundwork for these discussions to begin," but stopped short of saying how long they may take.
