New Negotiating team brought in by all three sides
 

The NFLPA, the high revenue owners, and the low revenue owners have decided to each bring in a new negotiator to get this thing settled.

They got together for breakfast this morning and posed for a news media photo.

Oh, if they've got the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe on their side they can't loose!

That looks like the old negotiating team!

No no, the old one had Shemp.

Open Letter from Upshaw to Tagliabue
 

Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damned depressed
That I set my sights on Thursday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When an agent sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Mister Paul Tagliabue
And I just can't live without you, can't you see that it is true?
I've been one poor correspondent, and I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Shemp was told that he was part of the problem and not part of the solution. Curley is representing the "poor" owners.
