One More Week

The NFL owners and representatives from the NFLPA have their work cut out for them in the week ahead. They decided to extend their negotiations through next Friday in the hope of working out an agreement for a new CBA.

This seems like posturing on the part of the owners. By doing this, they don't look as bad if they pull the plug on everything next Friday if no agreement is reached.

The NFLPA can also save face by saying they went as far as they could. No matter what happens, everyone looses in the end, especially the fans. Both sides have made patronizing statements about the fans as if they cared about them.

As most analysts agree, its the billionaires against the millionaires and nobody seems to care about the lives of the former players. That is a whole other issue that I don't think will be addressed to the satisfaction of all.
