The legal teams and staffs for NFL owners and players met for 7½ hours Tuesday in Manhattan, with the pace quickening and deadlines approaching as the lockout nears its fifth month. Among the headliners were NFL Players Association outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler and general counsel Richard Berthelsen, and NFL outside counsel Bob Batterman and senior vice president of law and labor policy Adolpho Birch. The parties filtered in before 10 a.m. ET and left in the 5 p.m. hour, with league officials staying behind and working into the early evening to prep for Wednesday’s meeting, which will take on a similar format to Tuesday’s session. The idea is clear away some of the underbrush, taking

Marty Mornhinweg spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator of the 49ers, with Steve Young running his offense. Now Mornhinweg has the same title in Philadelphia, with Michael Vick running his offense. Young is a Hall of Famer and one of the NFL’s all-time great quarterbacks, but Mornhinweg thinks Vick can be better. “I thought he could be a Steve Young-type player,” Mornhinweg told Philly.com. “Mike’s got a long way to go, but, you know what? I think he can be better than Steve.”

Negotiations toward a labor deal that would end the N.F.L. lockout were confronted with a new hurdle Monday when the group of retired players involved in the antitrust lawsuit against the league — angered because they say their interests and representatives are being shut out by both sides in the talks — filed a separate complaint against players and owners. The class-action complaint was filed in Federal District Court in Minneapolis against the teams, the league, the players named in the Brady v. N.F.L. lawsuit and DeMaurice Smith, the head of the N.F.L. Players Association. It asserted that the sides were violating antitrust laws by negotiating settlement terms that improperly

While the ink was drying on his new Nike contract last Friday, Eagles QB Michael Vick was speaking at a youth football camp run by former Falcons teammate Keion Carpenter in Baltimore. “I probably should have known better,” Vick told kids at Woodlawn High School of his involvement with dogfighting, which led to his incarceration in federal prison for nearly two years. “I put my family in a bad situation, I put myself in a bad situation, and I had to deal with it.”

All Jason Babin ever wanted to be while growing up in Paw Paw was a member of the Navy Seals. He developed asthma at an early age, putting an end to that dream. Now, Babin just wants to know who he will be playing football for this season … if there even is one. Babin, 31, is coming off a Pro Bowl season as a high-energy, 6-foot-3, 260-pound defensive end where he earned a career-high 12.5 sacks for the Tennessee Titans. He replaced Kyle VandenBosch, who moved on to the Lions. Babin finished sixth in the NFL in sacks, second-best among defensive ends, and should be up for a big pay day. He was ranked 85th-best player in the league by his peers. It was his lone season with the Titans, but

Connection or coincidence? While perusing Twitter on this Fourth of July, we came across a blog post (thanks Eagles Insider) from Iggles Blitz, which could shed some light on the Birds’ new defensive scheme. One of the criticisms of Sean McDermott’s defense was its complexity. His replacement, Juan Castillo, is expected to simplify the scheme. “We’re here to teach,” head coach Andy Reid said in February after promoting Castillo. “We’re here to take complex things and make it simple so guys can play fast. You won’t find a better teacher than Juan.” Or maybe Juan’s son. Castillo’s son Greg is a cornerback for the Iowa Hawkeyes, whose defense has been coordinated by Norm Parker since 1999.
