Via various tweets and other information that is breaking as of 6 p.m. CDT on Friday, it appears that two of the three judges on the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals have granted a temporary stay of Judge Susan Nelson's lifting of the NFL owners' lockout of the players.
Clear as mud. Nevertheless, this appears to mean that the lockout is back on, and that the court will rule further later on the entire issue. Here are a couple of tweets from Maury Brown, who reports on sports business, that explain a bit better:
