News Flash: NFL players and owners agree to extend the deadline for free agency by three days, giving both sides some extra time to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.

Teddy’s Take: Now there’s a shock! Just hours after unanimously rejecting the players’ latest proposal, Paul Tagliabue and the owners are ready to sit back down at the bargaining table with them. I understand this is all part of the negotiating process, but is it really necessary? Can we just do away with all the “doomsday talk……sit down together in a room…..realize you’re all making a ton of money off the sport…..and get a deal done that’s fair and reasonable for both sides!
