CHICAGO (WSCR) The NFL owners wrapped up their Tuesday meetings in Rosemont. And while there are several reports surfacing about what was discussed, the main sticking point in the negotiations with the players still seems to be revenue sharing.
"This is the biggest 24 to 36 hours of Roger Goodell's life," Hub Arkush said on the Danny Mac Show. "This is where his legacy is going to be decided in the next day or two."
