NFL - Ochocinco begins tryout with MLS teamUSFL, CFL players: Longer season a grind. A ruling that hurts the league and players may provide just the motivation needed. NFL fans have to start cheering for Judge Susan Nelson of the Minnesota
District Court. Right now, she’s your only hope for a quick resolution to the labor dispute between the players and the owners. Nelson could declare that the lockout by owners is illegal, that the NFL Players Association is not a union and then hold her decision in abeyance for 90 days. In other words, both sides would have plenty of incentive to work out a new collective bargaining agreement.

NFL - Matt Light was disappointed that the Pats' owner missed CBA talks. A common thought in the football world is that players will not lose money in a lockout until the regular-season games start. But offseason workout bonuses easily could be flushed away. ESPN obtained a copy of some of the biggest workout bonuses that players have, and whom this lockout will hit in the wallet sooner rather than later. Jets offensive tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson has the biggest offseason workout bonus -- $750,000 if he participates in 85 percent of the workouts. Quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning and Jay Cutler each have $500,000 offseason workout bonuses. Rodgers must participate in 85 percent of the workouts, and Manning and Cutler 90 percent each. Whatever the numbers are, the bonuses are jeopardized the longer the lockout lasts.
