...uniform college draft bonuses ranging from $500,000 for the first pick ($400,000 for the second, $350,000 for the third) down to $5,000 for the last. The better to reward veterans, says the Management Council's long-standing director, Jack Donlan. The union is cynical. Says Wisconsin Senate-hopeful Ed Garvey, who broke former Raider Lineman Gene Upshaw into the job of labor leader: "In 1982 I honestly had the feeling there would never be another football strike. It was so painful for everyone. But the same voices are back. The expressions are fixed again...
...take $25 million worth of TV commercials, the most irritating pro football season gave way to the most entertaining Super Bowl. The heroic and tragic figures, Washington Fullback John Riggins and Miami Quarterback David Woodley, were clear-cut and equally attractive in different ways, unlike management's Jack Donlan and labor's Ed Garvey. The Redskins won straightforwardly, 27-17, and the Dolphins lost that...
...catalyst-"escape valve," Commissioner Pete Rozelle called him-was Paul Martha, 40, a former Pittsburgh Steeler now a Pittsburgh attorney. Martha is a friend of Steeler President Dan Rooney, who had a large voice in management's negotiations and a much softer voice than Chief Negotiator Jack Donlan's.

No one was acting hopeful. A "credible" season, as first defined by Commissioner Pete Rozelle, was understood to be no fewer than twelve games. In an unshattered year, the number is 16. But a twelve-game season with two weeks of abbreviated playoffs leading to the Super Bowl on Jan. 30 (a date Rozelle and the owners claim is logistically unalterable) would...
Such complexities might threaten to cause a computer overload, but even worse, say the owners, is that the plan amounts to paying players like pieceworkers in a ball-bearing factory. Says the N.F.L.'s chief negotiator, Jack Donlan: "The idea of the union distributing wages, becoming in effect partners of the owners', is alien to American business." It is certainly alien to the way the N.F.L. has done business. The owners propose to continue their pattern of negotiating individual contracts, but promise that a lot more money will be paid out when all those contracts are added...
