NFL attorney Jeff Pash took a shot at NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith on Thursday. Smith was so riled by Pash?s remarks that he stopped his commute home, went back to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, stood in the rain and unleashed his reaction. Pash started the war of words by saying: ?It?s a process, it?s not an event and things can come together quickly, things can fall apart quickly. All I can say is we?re committed to the process. It?s not glamorous, it?s not easy, but we really do believe in the value of collective bargaining. We really do believe in our relationship with the players? association and, I?ve said it many times: If both sides have an equal commitment to getting this deal done, it will get done. I don?t know if both sides have an equal commitment. You?ve heard plenty of what I?ve heard as well.? ?Obviously, we saw Jeff Pash?s comments, a few moments ago, and instead of driving home, we made a short detour to come back, because I think it?s important that everyone and all of our fans understand and know the commitment of our players to this process,? Smith said as he was pelted by rain. ?[Thursday] we got here at 9 [a.m.]. We had a meeting with non-owners of the National Football League. Our players stood around and waited until 6 [p.m.]. The owners left, and we were told to come back at 10 [a.m. on Friday]. ?We?re committed to this process. We have been committed to this process. But for anyone to stand and turn to the American people and say that they question that. ? Look. I understand that there?s probably some things that Jeff Pash has to say. But this is the truth: We know that as early as March of 2009, from the discovery in the television case, that the National Football League engaged in a strategy to get $4 billion of television money ? to lock out our fans, lock out our players ? even if the games weren?t played. ?
