Labor Talks Break Down - Per ESPN

[Night Train]

According to Mort on ESPN News, Gene Upshaw left NYC because no progress was being made. The high end owners ( Jones, Kraft etc. ) are digging in. Doesn't believe it's Upshaw playing a hand.

Owners supposed to have a conference call among themselves at 6pm. Deadline for all hell to break loose is 4pm tomorrow.
Unreal. They have the golden goose and may wind up shooting it.

Our future is on the clock. 23 hours and counting.

I wonder how this impacts the Free Agency period. Will players just want to sign 1 year contacts, then get bigger pay days in an uncapped offseason next year?? This may not be good news

In two hours there will be a story that progress has been made and there close to a deal. Feels like all that hockey bs all over again. "These people may be meeting here, one persons leaving the table" I won't take any of this seriously till free agency begins friday.

In a way I hope something happens to put the screws to people like Dan Snyder and Al Davis

I hope so but Gene Upshaw has gone back to D.C. saying there is nothing else that can be done. 2007 will be an uncapped year! I'm not sure what that all means but I don't see an uncapped year good for the Bills.

If its not done, Schefter said yesterday you will see a MASS amount of cuts immediatley. In fact so much so the league might have trouble keeping up with the paperwork.

Teams over the cap now are going to be in very bad shape.

Well, this is all about 5 owners. It takes 8 of them to keep it from passing

Screw these clowns. In 08 there will be a strike and maybe no pro ball for 2 years. Fine by me! let the owners and the overpaid baby players get real jobs.

I have been less and less happy with pro ball for quite some time. College baby. outside of maybe 80 players any given year, the rest are there to actually play ball and win.
