NFL owners and players have wrapped up another round of court-ordered mediation without any sign of a new agreement. Officials and attorneys for both sides left the federal courthouse in Minneapolis on Tuesday afternoon and said they'd return before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan on June 7. That's days after an appeals court hearing on the legality of the ongoing lockout. Neither side discussed any specifics, though Hall of Famer Carl Eller said he believes this was the most productive week yet because the players received something tangible from the owners in the form of a bullet-pointed outline. On Monday night, the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals issued the NFL a stay-on-appeal, which preserves the league's right to lock the players out until there's a ruling on the league's appeal of Judge Susan Nelson's decision to issue the players a lockout-lifting injunction, but more damaging to the players was the language in the ruling, which might foreshadow the three 8th Circuit judges ruling against the players after the June 3 hearing in St. Louis.

It's the same. Lockout. No CBA. NFL Fans get screwed. They need to fix this, not wait weeks in between meetings.
I feel like these "meetings" are absolutely pointless if they take off several weeks between them like this
I really don't know what to say about this crap anymore. Funny how all teams could be dead smack in the middle of OTAs and mini camps but instead of that, both the players and owners are jerking off trying to get levrage in this situation. This no meeting for 3 weeks, 4 weeks has got to stop and stop now. Both sides should be meeting day and night around the clock. I don't care how a deal gets done. JUST GET ONE DONE!
lock them in with no food, water, technology or way out. only themselves. they'll figure out a middle ground within a couple days
I really don't think neither side really cares right now because a lot of them aren't losing major money just yet.
