The continous battle between the NFL Players Association and the Owners has been going on since mid february, hense the  lockout is in its third month of no activity.  The Owners won today, enforcing the continuation of the lockout.  The Grand Prize of nine billion dollars is being fought over by the two sides, and as each day progresses, no deals seem to be getting negotiated.  Its simple, all the players want to do is play, but behind the scenes still want there pay check.  The owners have no problem in paying the players, the owners main objective is to find a way to divide nine billion dollars in several compelling issues including health care for retired players and tv sales.  The Lockout prevents players and coaches from doing their job, and the rookies are being denied their chance of pr acting with their new teams and learning their roles on there teams.
