Yikes...if this is in fact true, this thing aint ending anytime soon. And why would the PA be retaining an investment bank in CBA negotiations? Am I missing something here?

Pash did not reveal any specifics of the league's offer and wouldn't say what the union's response was. But a source requesting anonymity told The Associated Press the NFL offered to turn over five years of profitability data to the players' union -- and the offer was rejected.
According to the source, the NFL's proposal to the union included:
-- audited league-wide profitability data with dollar figures from 2005-09, based on individual club statements;
-- the number of teams that have seen a shift in profitability in that span;
-- an independent auditor to examine the data.
A second source said the NFL Players Association rejected the league's offer because an investment bank retained by the union advised it that the proposal was inadequate.
