The Associated Press reports NFL commissioner Roger Goodell predicts players' salaries will still grow under a new labor agreement, even if their share of revenue is reduced as owners have proposed. Appearing Sunday, Feb. 7, on CBS's "Face the Nation," Goodell said the owners need more money to cover rising costs for international ventures and infrastructure projects such as new stadiums. "You have to invest in these stadiums that we're in today," Goodell said. "You need to find new ways of creating revenue, whether it's international or otherwise. And that takes investment. And we need to make sure that the owners have the capital to be able to do that. And then the pie grows, and everyone benefits." The union has said management wants players to reduce their share to 41 percent of applied revenues from about 59 percent. Goodell counters that of the $3.6 billion in incremental revenues since 2006, players received $2.6 billion. "We want to structure something that really is going to lead us into the next decade in a way that's constructive, so the players benefit, the teams benefit, and most of all, the game," Goodell said.

"I didn't even watch them celebrate,'' Wayne said. "I was one of the first ones in the locker room. They're probably still out there." Manning added that he would eventually congratulate Saints QB Drew Brees. "I'll certainly talk to Drew,'' Manning said. "I certainly know how it was three years ago when we won. There's not much consolation for the guys that didn't win. The stage is being set up for the celebration and it was time for the Saints to celebrate at midfield. They deserved the moment.''
