glad they got it cleared up before the draft

This has nothing to do with them playing football. There still isn't a season until the sides come to an agreement.

But it's a move in the right direction

Yup still have to come to an agreement

Judge ends lockout; NFL files appeal, seeks stay

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson has granted NFL players their motion for a preliminary injunction, therefore lifting the lockout that was imposed by owners on March 11.

it's a sign of progress

So officially there is no lock-out, but there is still no agreement either - this still doesnt mean that there will actually be a season yet though does it ?

It has a lot to do with them playing because of the no stay on the ruling. The judge today lifted the lockout with no stay and if the court of appeals doesn't grant them an appeal they will be required by law to open for business.

And since this case is purely about money and not about justice, we should have an answer soon.

At least it's something even though they still have a long way to go.

yeah it's nice to turn on ESPN and see some football talk with the draft about to start

So now is it in players or owners hands? Do the coaches fall under players or owners side or both?
