One anecdote in that story: On Friday's NFLPA conference call, several players thanked De Smith, said they'd remain united in critical time.

Rookie pay continues to be major sticking point in NFL-NFLPA talks. Little movement in 6 mths, link from February: http://******/h8ekhb

Just got back to Boston ... as @dkaplansbj reported, court documents show Judge Boylan has ordered the sides to come to Minnesota on 7/19.

... Boylan's on vacation until then & these meetings could take on a number of different forms, contingent on what occurs the next 10 days.

Significance of this? My understanding is the session -- to include lawyers & figures w/"full settlement authority" -- is to update Boylan.

Former #Bears LB Hunter Hillenmeyer knows the labor situation: "We are not on the cusp of a deal." http://t.co/3ZHNOfE

If youre in a high enough position to have the opportunity to be a part of the talks delay your vacation a week. Strikes me as a selfish act

It truly amazes me that the judge in charge of negotiations with the NFL labor talks takes the most pivotal week of the process for vacation

The judge probably got tired of their crap and told them he was taking a break.

I don't understand the rookie pay. 1st round pick money is way too high. Cut that and set up a % for retirees. If they aren't close on the rookie pay scale, what ARE they close on?

This **** is getting old. Get your greedy ***** back to the table and get a deal inked!
