The labor negotiations are continuing this week. This time they are back in Minnesota. Instead of their usual two day work week, they are going to stretch it out to four days. That's pretty grueling. I hope that they can last. Actually, I'd like to see them work short of that because they've come to an agreement.
The twist this time is that no owners or players are expected at this round of talks. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, players' chief DeMaurice Smith, and their respective staffs will be there. So will attorneys for both sides. Albert Breer of NFL Network describes it as "part of the process". Breer, by the way, has done a stellar job of reporting on all of this. I hope that part of the process is getting it done now. The location of the talks and those present could indicate that the two sides are working to settle the antitrust case between the league and the players. I'd rather see them work towards a labor agreement. That should lead to an antitrust settlement and we'd be done with this crap.
