On the eve of the first NFL work stoppage in nearly 25 years, two men sat in a restaurant in Washington D.C., drinking beer and discussing both sides of football's increasingly muddled labor debate.
Conversations like this were happening in bars and eateries across America that night, but this was the only one that included Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I called Roger and I just said, 'Hey man, I'm heading back to my hotel and I'd just like to talk to you,' " the five-time Pro Bow selection and player representative told NFL Network's Rich Eisen in an exclusive interview on NFL Total Access on Monday. " 'I know we've got one more day and I just want to lay out what I feel is important to the players.' "
Saturday called it a "heart-to-heart" conversation with Goodell, with each man explaining his side of the situation.
