Okay, just to keep all 3 of you updated.
Judge Nelson denied they stay of the court ordered lift of the lockout. In other words, the league new year should start, she didn't specify any details on how the league should conduct buisness, the owners can't collectively "not sign players" that would be against anti-trust laws (which the owners were free from when they had a CBA) but if an owners decides by themselves to sign someone, he can. The NFL still has an appeal to the 8th Circuit Court, which may be heard by May, with another stay of Nelson's ruling in the works.
Another legal loss for the NFL, and they keep trying. /facepalm
