    Labor talks between NFL owners and the players' union have broken off without an agreement, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. Representatives of the players' union walked out of negotiations Sunday evening, believing that an agreement with owners cannot be made.

    so we don't get an extra ten mill on the cap. W/e. We're still far from an uncapped 07.

    It's ridiculous that this thing has not gotten done. Upshaw needs to be replaced ASAP.

    No but...
    This does mean some teams are going to be purging players tonight.

    from pft

    TALKS RESUME AT 8:30 EST



    A league source tells us that talks between the NFL and the NFLPA will resume at 8:30 p.m. EST Sunday.



    Maybe they were just hungry, or perhaps they're curious to see whether Jake Gyllenhaal wins the Oscar for best support actor in Brokeback.



    Actually, we're hearing that the owner of one of the high-revenue teams is mucking up the efforts to strike a deal that will work for the union, the league, the low-revenue clubs, and the big-money clubs.



    Stay tuned.
