Until the players realize that the owners should make more money then they do, this will drag out. I can see this easily lasting through the OTA's and into camp days. It wouldn't be the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

The issues are more than the owners and players, you've got the agents getting involved too. They don't like the rookie wage scale because it cuts money out of their pockets.

The NFLPA got bent out of shape when the owners wanted to cut $1B off the top of the money pool for themselves. I think its fair for the owners to pull in $30M each for running a business that makes $100's of Billions.

Everyone is butt hurt in this deal. I say scrap the NFL name and call it something else. Keep the team names and owners (except Dean Spanos and Al Davis) and start the league from scratch. Go XFL on the pay scale and watch how quickly the players get inline to get paid. They are way over paid anyway.
