The NFL and NFL Players Association met last week to discuss solutions to revive HGH testing talks, which have stalemated over Commissioner Roger Goodell's power in the appeals process, league and union sources said Thursday. The sides have been in contact since, but there hasn't been any movement on the central issue. The NFL has been adamant that Goodell retain final say over appeals in evidentiary cases and cases involving the law. The league and players' union agreed in principle to HGH testing in early August, with the overall drug policy's appeals process being the sticking point preventing a comprehensive deal. According to union sources, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has not been the one railing against Goodell retaining power in the appeals process, it has been the player reps who are unwilling to go along with the league's desire to keep the commissioner in place as the appellate officer.
