The Clock Keeps Ticking

Next Monday, representatives from the NFLPA and four of the team owners will meet in federal court for mediation. Although this sounds like a positive move, it is being done because of a court order. Failure to do so, would find either side in contempt of court. Neither side wants to go that way.

As time drags on, the likelihood of this being resolved looks bleaker. For fans, the best hope is that the court lifts the injunction sought by the owners. Neither side wants to budge, but if the Brady lawsuit goes forward, there will be a disrupted season if there is one at all.

Owners don't want to resume normal league operations and try and negotiate a settlement. They had two years to do that and nothing happened.
