Heard today only the lawyers are meeting today and tomorrow to hash out the language of the deal so if they agree on the numbers, the legal language will be ready to go. Sounds like the players will agree to about 48% of the shared revenues (down from about 53%) and as the money increases over time take even a smaller percentage, as low as 46%.  One thing they are apparently considering is expanding the Thursday night games and selling them to the networks. That would generate more money than the advertising revenue they get from NFL network. I think it's a great idea - the teams, players AND FANS would win with this change IMO. Then, if the league is smart, they'll accept being on the sports tier of the major cable networks they aren't currently on and that too, will boost revenue.  Of course the deal isn't done until all the details are worked out, but it looks like both sides are acting as if their backs are against the wall - and they are.</blockquote>
