Third day of meetings for league and players

The NFL and the players association had their third consecutive day of negotiations on Sunday, along with a federal mediator, in Washington, D.C.

According to an Associated Press report, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith arrived for the negotiation session at about 10 a.m. ET. Neither would comment on the talks, upholding the media blackout the two sides agreed upon.

The talks were held at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service office building, with George Cohen, the director of that U.S. government agency, mediating the talks. The mediation is not binding, but the two sides have agreed to use it as a way to initiate progress.

"We are working hard, and we're following the director's playbook, and we'll see what we come up with," Jeff Pash, the NFL's lead labor negotiator, said to the AP.
