Listening to Demaurice Smith this morning he said the league offered to show two numbers. 1) the total profit of the league (i.e. 9 bil) 2) the total number of teams w/ declining profit (i.e. 9).

These numbers werent going to be broken down or supported in any way, just a peice of paper with 2 numbers on it.

He said if the league lists 9 teams w/ declining profit that number could and would include teams that made 249 mil this past season compared to 250 mil the year before.

He said they got more info from a Forbes 3 page article than the one page with 2 numbers the league offered.

The league did not offer to show each teams individual profits, numbers or anything of the sort.

He also said the NFLPA will not budge from their 50-50 offer until they get real disclosure that supports the league's position that teams are losing money (i.e. audited books from each team and league)
