    The federal magistrate judge who is mediating the labor dispute between NFL owners and players has scheduled another session for July 19 in Minneapolis.

    Judge Arthur J. Boylan set the meeting on Saturday but made clear that both sides were free to continue their own sessions as they work toward a new collective bargaining agreement.

    Little progress was made on Friday as talks continued in New York, a source told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio. Lawyers were going to work through the weekend, sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen, and NFL Players Association chief DeMaurice Smith said negotiators will meet again Monday.

    The principals in the fight over how to split up over $9 billion in revenue met all week in New York but have not reached a deal as the lockout has dragged on for more than four months.
