Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As previously noted, both sides met for a second straight day in New York, with Judge Arthur Boylan joining commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith. Also on hand were five team owners and five players. That’s a critical component for reaching a new collective bargaining agreement. It was the second time this week that the sides got together. Last week, they met twice near Chicago. While the talks have led to considerable optimism among observers, there's no reason to believe an agreement is imminent. In fact, the consensus among those who follow the situation closest suggests a lengthy process will still be required. But it certainly sounds like an agreement before before August is certainly within the realm of possibility.
