This is Promising
The NFL owners looked the Players Association in the eye--and blinked. The owners agreed to a labor deal into 2011 and will give players a bit less than 60% of an expanded pool of revenues. High-revenue teams originally balked, but eventually fell in line. I think they realize that if they do not continue a strong sharing arrangement, football will become like the NBA or MLB. Don Banks from SI has some interesting comments.

In other NFL news, Daunte Cullpepper wants out of Minnesota and Willie McGinest was unceremoniously cut by the Pats to make cap room.
