refs should hit back super hard with an offer to start up next week but yes with enormous demands
if NFL says no, go public with it
they should think of the most they ever thought was possible for them to get, and ask for two and a half times that, say they can be on the field by the Thursday game
thats how you fukin negotiate, hardball, zero mercy, nothing personal strictly business
if the nfl says no, come back with a new offer on wednesday asking for double the Tuesday offer, show them whos boss, no fear no mercy no negotiations
