Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The NLRB will thoroughly investigate the matter -- one labor source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora the process in general isn't particularly speedy and tends to be time-consuming and exhaustive. They will try to determine if the NFLPA has in fact been "surface bargaining," in essence putting forth minimal offers with the intent of eventually suing the league over its antitrust status in the event of a lockout or an impasse. The union has flatly denied that charge. ... Meanwhile, a hearing on the validity of the NFL's lockout is still scheduled for April 6; the NFLPA's anti-trust lawsuit will continue to move forward; and most importantly, the two sides will continue to negotiate in the interim.
