The NFL owners and players were back in court on June 3 to try and make some headway in the three-month-old lockout. Lawyers for both sides were given 30 minutes to state each side’s case in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis. The basic argument was whether or not the league-imposed […]
