Yeah well they did the same thing yesterday.

 

I think they're sick of the owners holding this up with their inability to come to terms amongst themselves on revenue sharing.

 

That's the hold up. :D

I wouldn't put my money on what Upshaw says. He seems to be playing the media.

 

His last statement was they were called back and given a worse proposal than before the call back. I find that doubtful.

It is now reported that talks broke off, union rejected their latest offer by owners and it is not going to happen. According to the union, the latest offer was less than what players are already getting. According to the owners, they were offering over a billion and a half dollars over the next six year above what they would be getting.

 

But it appears dead for now and to be resolved sometime before this time in 2007. This season will have the lower cap and all teams are scrambling to meet that by midnight.

All this shows is that both sides are made up of drooling morans that can't do third grade math.

Just reported on espnews that the waiver deadline is now 11:30 instead of 10.

 

Now why would they do that with the talks supposedly dead? :D

Perhaps they think negotiating by Blackberry(where they don't actually see each other) works better.

Upshaw is just flat out lying to the media.

 

The old agreement of 60% was based on team revenue generated by ticket sales and television.The new 56.whatever% is based on ALL revenues,including outside money generated by everything from parking to stadium naming rights.

 

An example;which is larger,60% of 100$,or 56% of 150$?

 

The players are getting much much more than before.The only truth to what Upshaw states is the percentage number.He conveniently leaves out what the percentage is taken from.

Your thoughts would be valid if they bore any factual information.

Yeah?Did you read the article?What the players want the new revenue percentages based on versus the old is right there in black and white.

 

An excerpt.

 

Until now, they received their money primarily from television and ticket revenues. This time, they requested their share from all team revenues, including outside money generated by everything from parking fees to stadium naming rights.

 

The link...again.

The current CBA includes players salaries @ 63% of the designated gross revenues. That is your ticket sales and television figure.

 

The NFLPA is believed to be asking for 60% of a total gross revenue figure that, in addition to the tickets+television, includes all the other stuff you're talking about.

 

The league supposedly offered a 56.2% of the "TGR". That would have equaled a smaller share for players than what they currently get.

 

Supposedly, the NFLPA dropped down from the 60% figure in negotiations, but the hangup continues to be how the owners will choose to define what revenues fall into the "TGR" category.
