Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, at this critical juncture, that’s unfortunate. At a minimum, the leaders of the respective camps should be supervising their lawyers, especially in light of the growing belief that the players’ lawyers want nothing more than to keep the 2011 regular season from starting. And as Florio summed up: "This deal won’t get done until the key figures are present. And with the key figures not scheduled to return for 48 more hours, here’s hoping that they’re willing to spend the bulk of the ensuing 48 hours on putting this thing to bed."
