They don't need presidential intervention. The mediators from the National Labor Relations Board are doing a good job keeping the sides talking. It's obvious by the mutual decision to extend the negotiating deadline another week.

If Arlen Spector still sat in the U.S. Senate, we would have heard from him by now. He enjoyed getting involved in the NFL. Just ask Coach Belichick. File under Spygate.
