Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
The NFL's argument is only "this big."

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
Nelson orders a return to mediation.
Judge Nelson will order sides to return to mediation - NFL - Yahoo! Sports It will be interesting to see how much Nelson and/or Cohen are involved.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
Talking is better than not talking, even if it's forced. Crazy that the gov't hammered out a deal but the NFL can't.

Of course, the silver lining difference in situation is that the NFL standoff has Susan Nelson in the middle and she can kick some ass and take names.

She can suggest that the sides get together and talk but I doubt that she can order them to do so or else she will find both sides in contempt of court and put them all behind bars. [Come to think of it, THAT might solve this problem quickly...] She cannot force either side to agree to anything when/if they do agree to any more negotiating on their own or with a mediator. Plus, whatever she decides is going to face an appeal no matter which side sees itself as the "loser" here. It is even possible that her ruling will contain something that both sides find unpalatable such that both sides appeal the ruling. No offense to Judge Nelson here, but she is but one cog in a much larger legal wheel that will turn for a while before all of this is settled - - outside of her courtroom...

/faceplam My only question is why they are so adamant about implementing a HGH testing policy. Do they not know that's how the NFL got to where it's at? Because guys have been juicing and taking shit to enhance that level of play to where it impossible to believe? Lavar Arrington weighing in at 251 running a 4.54 in the 40 and people believe that's natural?...lol (Courtney Brown's numbers were even sicker) |

Plus, in the longer term she may be overseeing things as Doty did before. That creates a stick for both sides to play relatively nice and cooperatively. Further, she can really damage the PR built up by either side. For example, if owners are in clear violation of her requests, it will be easy to perceive them as the greedy bad guys. My original comparison was to the government shutdown threat, which had no referee with teeth in between the parties. Nelson may have limited teeth but they are better than no teeth at all.

Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
The sides have been sent to the Judge's chamber:
Cindy Boren: Judge orders NFL, players to resume talks under supervision of mediator from federal court system in Minneapolis. NFL, players ordered to resume talks - The Washington Post The judge's Bio (short and sweet) from Minnesota Court page: Guidant MDL | United States District Court - District of Minnesota The definition of a Federal Magistrate (From Judgepedia - yeah I LOL@that) Federal magistrate judge - Judgepedia |
