Episode 14: Owners Have NFL's Best Interests In Mind

UPDATE: NFL and NFLPA agree to 7-day extension on expiration of collective bargaining agreement. We may be in for a long summer, not knowing whether fall will bring us our football. It's hard to imagine, but it seems very likely that we won't know until at least September. Although both sides have good points to make, the owners have the league's best interests in mind: 1) A rookie wage scale (that way unproven players aren't taking proven players' and retired players' money) 2) Two preseason games instead of four (although I don't think it's in the best interest of players to extend the regular season to 18 games) 3) New stadiums for existing teams and new teams 4) More investment in technology 5) Marketing internationally Meanwhile, the NFL Players Union doesn't want any major changes to the current agreement. Know why? Players get to keep 60% of all available revenue, and their contracts have doubled in the past decade. Also, NCAA President Mark Emmert - who took the job 5 months ago - made new comments that have me very optimistic about a College Football Playoff. I also give my reaction to Wednesday's action in the NBA and College Basketball, including No. 3 BYU getting beat down without big man Brandon Davies. Photo by Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images
