'Some progress' has been made in the NFL labor dispute. Your thoughts?

The only reason why there is "progress" between both sides is because for the most part the owners are the one's that do not want to lose this battle. What I find interesting is, the owners all of a sudden want to make peace with the players and join in mediation after months of a battle and ongoing lock out. Before the lawsuit took place, the owners were not caving in. Now, that there is a possibility they will lose due to the judge granting an injuction, the owners want to mediate. I think it is quite hypocritcal on both sides, especially the owners. Its one thing when you decide that you don't want to make amends and you are standing your ground. Even in that situation, I can respect a person not backing down on whatever it is they believe. But to switch because you are in danger of losing it both hypocritical and it shows that you didn't hold all of the cards. The players will win and the owners accomplished one thing, making themselves look more foolish. Either way, it doesn't matter because the season will continue whether they mediate now or not.
