As a die-hard NFL fan, the failure to extend the CBA is frightening for me. Apparently, there are two sticking points. First the players union wants to have 60% of the gross total revenue while the owners want to give them 56.2% (something like that). If no deal is reached by friday then this year teams will need to cut big named and big money players. After this year there will be no salary cap. That would be horrible. I do not want to see the NFL turn into MLB. I think the owners should threaten the union with a lock-out if they dont agree. With out a cap most team would not be able to compete and that would be bad for business.
The second point is over revenue sharing, some teams want to expand the sharing to include local revenue in addition to TV contracts and merchandise. Not sure how I feel on this. The Raiders dont make much local money but we sell more merchandise than any team in the league.
