Owners Break Off Talks!!!!!

i still not sure this is over yet.the owners are now forcing the union to make the call.the sticking point is the revenue sharing at 60% to the players(the unions stance)compared to 56%(the owners stance)i think if that number moved to 58%,the deal gets done.ill guess we wil see.it seems like it would be in the best interest of the union ,long term,to agree to this

Upshaw's response to the owners' decision to reject the NFLPA's agreement isn't comforting. Upshaw basically said there isn't going to be an extension. He didn't appear to leave open even a small possibility that a deal will be reached. It could be posturing, but that would be strange given we are hours away from the start of the 2006 NFL season.
