The NFL and NFL players (dis)Association met for the second-consecutive day at an undisclosed location on Long Island. Wednesday, Judge Arthur Boylan was apart of the discussion.
Talks are moving forward, but no one is certain how fast.
Players are confident, though, that is leading somewhere – even if it is a shortened season.
“(An) eight game season, that’s crazy,” Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers quarterback, told XX Sports Radio in San Diego with Darren Smith. “No doubt about it. Shoot you only played 10 in high school. Play eight, get in, let’s go. It counts the same.”
Everyone, even the Commissioner, Roger Goodell, has been positive about the talks.
“I think any time we’re talking that’s a positive,” Goodell told Tampa Bay Buccaneers season ticket holders. “Because I believe both sides want to find solutions.”
Both sides met Tuesday in New York, but are keeping up a media blackout of the proceedings – an approach that has worked in the past.
And Rivers hopes it does.
“I don’t have a back-up plan,” he said. “I made the comment that I’m playing football somewhere, sometime this season. I kinda laughed and she said what does that mean? I said I don’t know, but I’m playing somewhere. I don’t know what that means and I don’t know how that can happen so I don’t know.”
