Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith were not at Tuesday's meeting at a Manhattan law firm's headquarters. On Thursday, Goodell and Smith will resume their meetings, with owners and players present. Those talks could last into the weekend if a new CBA appears imminent; the sides did not get together on weekends during negotiations over the last month. "If things are really close, you could say working through the weekend is possible," a person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "But they would need to be really close. If not, they will probably take the weekend off and go back to work next week. But time is running out." The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a judge has directed that details of the court-ordered mediated negotiations not be disclosed. Source: Associated Press
Time is running out. You think? They should be working on the weekends no matter what. SUre, I get the holiday weekend, but over the past month? C'mon, douche bags! GET IT IN GEAR!
The lawyers are probably hammering out the details and language if the deal now. Goddell and Smith will probably cone in for the presentation Thursday of the final draft. Present it to the owners early next week and then the vote...
Maybe so, but I think there is at least some truth in your statement The end of the lockout is on the horizon
