As the NFLPA and the NFL prepare to enter into seven straight days of CBA talks, both sides will now have a little more help towards reaching their goal of a new CBA. A federal mediator will step in to oversee the bargaining between the players and the owners. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the talks only last two or three days. There is a lot of bad blood on both sides, and no one wants to make a concession. The players have been angered by what they deem to be the owner's greediness, and have only been further frustrated by developments like the proposed 18 game schedule. At this point, emotion is very much involved in these talks, as both sides try to find a balance between wanting to play football in 2011-12 and holding their ground when negotiating. It is truly not looking good for the March 3rd deadline.
