U.S. Senator Charles Schumer says there is a "sign of hope" from his Wednesday meeting with N.F.L. commissioner, Roger Goodell.
New York's senior U.S. Senator says Goodell has promised him, Buffalo Bills owner, Ralph Wilson Jr., will be a part of a qualifiers committee meeting on January 23rd. The meeting will address revenue sharing among small market N.F.L. teams.
Senator Schumer met with the N.F.L commissioner at his Washington, D.C. office for around a half hour on Wednesday. The senator is lobbying the N.F.L. to make sure small market teams like the Bills receive the money they need to stay in their current markets.
Goodell also promised Schumer, the league would look at the Bills schedule for 2007 and try avoid scheduling most of the homes game, late in the season.
