Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That assessment came a day after Paul Tagliabue tried to build consensus with what many felt was a strong presentation. But the good feeling that engendered seemed to wane as the owners discussed expanded revenue sharing. The owners are operating under an 8 p.m. EST deadline to get a deal done before the start of free agency. If not deal is done by then, the teams will have an hour to get under the cap; free agency would then start at 12:01 am. EST.
