Back to Mediation We Go

Well, the ongoing saga of the NFL labor dispute has finally started to move forward. I think that Judge Susan Nelson should just kick the ass of everyone involved and be done with it. Instead, starting Thursday mediation begins again. This time it is in Federal Court in Minneapolis, which is a win for the players. The owners wanted to go back to the same mediator in Washington DC that presided over the earlier round of talks. Judge Nelson appointed Chief Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan to mediate these talks. Welcome Arthur. Judge Boylan will wield a stronger say in the talks than the previous mediator. He can make rulings, decisions whatever to keep the ball rolling. Judge Nelson will be close by if anything gets too snarky. This is especially pointed at dipshit owners like Jerry Jones and Jerry Richardson. This all sounds pretty promising to me. Also promising is that all parties that need to be there to agree to a deal will be there. No need to call or get someone in to give that ok. Get this thing done!
