Lockout back on - maybe not

Report: Owners get stay of injunction, lockout back on

Although NFL players were being welcomed back to team facilities this morning because of Judge Susan Nelson’s injunction to end the lockout, that is changing this afternoon.

ESPN is reporting that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has granted a temporary stay of the injunction and reinstated the lockout, meaning players will now be told to hit the road, and doors to team facilities are being locked this afternoon.

Michael Silver of Yahoo reported this afternoon that NFL players were bracing for a ruling from the Court of Appeals that would give the owners an “administrative” stay, meaning the lockout would be back on at least through the weekend.

Then, as soon as Monday, the Eighth Circuit will hear the players’ argument against a stay. At that point, the lockout could remain on, or the players could be let back in, depending on the Eighth Circuit’s ruling. And either way, it would just be temporary until the appeals court makes a decision on the owners’ appeal of Judge Nelson’s ruling.

So just hours after players were let back into team facilities this morning, they’ll now be told that they’re no longer welcome this afternoon. And we’ll all wait until Monday to see what the appeals court does next.

UPDATE:

Temporary stay has not been granted by 8th Circuit at this point, I'm told. Could still be granted today or over weekend.

Good, no surprise there. Now both sides need to lock their happy asses in a room and not come out until they have hammered out a new long-term CBA.

Wouldn't bother me if Goodell exscused himself from the remainder of the draft and invited player's reps to a lockdown session starting today. If both sides are willing to stipulate to it Monday doesn't have to be a deadline of any sorts.

Not going to happen.

They'll get the ruling on Monday, and go from there.

They aren't going to lock themselves in a room before then.

This is just the temporary stay. The important ruling will be on the 'permanent' stay, and that will likely come next week.

Shut it down!
