The commitment by NFL owners and players to work to a resolution was there Wednesday. The parties talked for more than 11 hours in their first day of joint meetings this week, with the players' side beginning to file out of the Manhattan law firm hosting the sessions around 8 p.m. ET. The parties will meet again at 9 a.m. Thursday. According to sources on both sides of the negotiating table, very little progress was made Wednesday on the core issues, which remain unresolved. The parties failed to achieve their goal of reaching breakthroughs last week on the rookie wage scale and the funding of retiree benefits, and they again struck out Wednesday. As one source put it, "We'll try again tomorrow." Source: NFL.com
