NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge all but ruled out any prospects for a settlement in the case of four NFL players challenging their bounty suspensions.

U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan issued an order in which she lamented the failure of settlement talks.

She then asked for more filings pertaining to the players’ request for a temporary restraining order that would allow them to return to their teams while their case against the NFL proceeds.

Judge Berrigan wrote in her decision that she believes the four NFL players’ interests have been undermined by “longstanding acrimony among all of the attorneys representing all of the parties that predates these disputes.”
