Las Vegas NFL News!

LAS VEGAS-Reports are that there is no progress in talks between the owners and players in the NFL labor dispute. The current contract is set to expire 11:59pm Thursday.

Jarrod Oldridge, owner of JO Sports in Las Vegas is the only Nevada businessman who has contracts with NFL teams and players, he hopes there is a quick resolution, “In my conversations with the teams and players everybody is optimistic that they will work things out, but there is also fear that some games could be lost to this labor battle,” said Oldridge from his Las Vegas office. It has been two decades since the NFL has had a work stoppage because of a labor dispute. “Clearly my business works best with a strong, vibrant NFL, but more important, I’m a fan of the league and don’t want to miss the scheduled kickoff of the season in September,” continued Oldridge.

Coincidentally, on Friday, Hall of Fame Quarterback Joe Montana will be visiting JO Sports in Summerlin to sign autographs and meet fans. Montana is not available for interviews prior to the Friday March 4th event, but media will be able to shoot video of Montana at the event. Interview requests that evening will have to go directly through Montana or his agent at the event itself.
