The longer we talked, the further apart we got. Nothing happened for us to make a deal today.

He piled on, ... He went beyond what we have in the agreement. When I have an arbitrator go beyond the agreement, I have no choice. Clearly, when you look at this case, his decision even went beyond what the Eagles said in their legal briefs.

I continue to believe that the problem lies with the high revenue clubs and the revenue sharing issue. Their refusal to share more revenues is making it worse for everybody -- players, owners, and fans.

I am not going to accept a deal just for the sake of having labor peace. . . . The deal has got to be fair.

I don't see us getting a deal done anytime soon.

If he's suspended, we'll take it as far as we can. But I don't know how far that is.

He said that I had to stay on this. He was very adamant about his position on it. We're all going to be at the services, but we cannot forget the principles and integrity and what he stood for. He did it and now it's what every other league is trying to do.

It has to be total football revenue this time around.

I guess we could meet if they want to. All I know is they got up and said they had to have a conference and the meeting was ended.
