NFL locked out the players since from nearly 40 days and it looks like it is going to be much longer. The two sides in the labor dispute wrapped up their court-ordered after the 4th day talks resulting in a break until May 16th.

According to the reports, Jeff Pash the League executive vice president states that U.S. Judge Magistrate Arthur Boylan told both sides they perhaps won’t convene again until May 16 and both sides reported that the sessions with Boylan were positive and productive.

After 2 years of negotiating on their own, 16 days in federal mediation with George Cohen in Washington and 4 days in court-ordered mediation, which ended on 20th April with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan in Minneapolis, it’s all about the lawsuits.

Judge David Doty will also hold a hearing on May 12 for the damages in the television case. One of the main issues, which currently affect the ability of the players to hang together as this works its way through the courts.
