The NFL's appeal was denied to them by the appeals court. The lockout remains lifted and the players are allowed to go to their team's training facilities. The owners and the NFL tried getting the lockout back, but they were unsuccessful. They are still trying to negotiate terms and now they are being made to hold meetings involving the lockout.

The NFL needs to figure things our and they need to do it fast. It is a good thing that the lockout got lifted. It is not right for players that are still under contract to be locked out of their team's facilities. The team should want their players in there still training. They need to be ready to get going when everything gets resumed once again. They might start to lose fan support if the back and forth stuff continues much longer.

    I agree. It is not right for the players who are still under contract to be unable to use the facilities their contract gives them permission to use. These players should be preparing for the season, not being locked out of practices. I have a feeling this season will not be as exciting because the players are now behind in their practices, so they will not be prepared for the season.

    I also agree. The lift of the lockout was good for the program. Being locked out of the practices is only going to make them unprepared for the season. I'm excited to see what this season will be like because of all of this drama. The NFL really needs to figure it all out soon.

    I agree that they need to make up their mind. They can't just keep having a lockout and then not having a lockout. The way they had the draft and then had the lockout again is ridiculous because they are just hanging those rookies out to dry.

    i agree.. i think that all the players should be able to start preparing for their seasons. Why have a draft if we are going to be in a lockout?
