Mediation Over, But NFL Says Progress Made

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

17th May, 2011 - 4:39 pm ESPN.com - The court-ordered mediation between the NFL and its locked-out players ended Tuesday, but the league's lead negotiator said progress is continuing to be made.

The sides will resume talks June 7, just days after a hearing in a federal appeals court regarding a lower court's ruling that temporarily lifted the lockout.

Jeff Pash, the NFL's lead negotiator in the ongoing labor talks with the former players' union told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio that he was happy with the progress made in Tuesday's talks.

"We had a good discussion today," Pash told ESPN. "I've said it many times the only way we're going to get this accomplished is face-to-face dialogue and really digging into the issues and I think we had a good step in that direction today. And I hope that we'll continue, confident it's going to continue and we'll be back early next month to continue that process."

So true. Owners are the ones that opted out ASAP on the previous CBA and I love how they keep the "we need to negotiate face-to-face" BS line going.

Just trying to get some kind of discussion going, the NFL section has been completely dead.
