Re: NFL Owners, Players Resume Mediation

Here you go. Also pending is an order from U.S. District Judge David Doty on the fate of some $4 billion in broadcast revenue he previously ruled was unfairly secured by the NFL in the last round of contract extensions with the networks to use as leverage in the form of financial padding for the work stoppage. Even if a lockout prevents games from being televised, the league would still get paid. The players have asked Doty to set that money aside in escrow and for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, too. The hearing in Doty's courtroom in Minneapolis last week was mostly lawyers arguing back and forth, but each side accused the other of "sandbagging" and neither sounded as if it's ready to concede any ground. |

I can not think of any other multi-billion dollar business where the owners still get paid with out producing a single thing. How is that possible? |
