Owner incentive depleted by pact
The Washington Post reports NFL networks paid teams between 65 and 83 million dollars for the first four games of the 1982 season. The payments fund an interest free strike pool, reducing owners’ incentive to end the strike. The dispute centers on whether players receive a wage scale or individual team contracts. Negotiations in Washington aim to avert further game cancellations as the strike enters its second week.

Bruce Second Guesses Own Judgment In Buckeyes Loss
Ohio State coach Earle Bruce faced sharp criticism after a late game pass led to a loss to Stanford. With a 20-16 lead on the Cardinals’ 27-yard line, Bruce called a pass that was intercepted by Charles Hutchings as John Elway directed a 80-yard, 64-second drive to win. Critics labeled the play call a misjudgment, while Bruce defended his decision and admitted he would have preferred a run with no fear, sparking strong reaction from local columnists.
