A Day in Court

Well everyone's favorite little dispute had it's day in court on Wednesday. Judge Susan Nelson said that she would give her decision in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, she strongly urged the players and owners to return to mediation and get this thing settled. I hope that everyone was listening. Turns out that both parties want to return to mediation. Here's the kicker, they can't agree on where to hold these discussions. The owners want to return to Federal mediation with George Cohen in Washington DC. They have already spent over 2 weeks with Cohen and got nowhere. Now they want more? The players think that Federal mediation in Judge Nelson's court in Minnesota is the place. This is ridiculous. They can't even decide where to neogtiate. How are they going to get anything settled? The owners aren't building any smiles with Judge Nelson. They might want to tread lightly in her court and in their path to dodge her court. Just get this thing done. Clowns!
