'between NFL officials, owners going nowhere NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL and its locked-out officials got nowhere in negotiations Yesterday, despite facing a midweek deadline to reach a deal or go into the regular 9dason with the replacements who worked last week's exhibition games. fter saying last weekend that there was a good chance of a deal, hopes seemed to be fading. Both sides will meet again today. Tom Condon, the chief negotiator for NFL Referees Association, would not even describe yesterday's talks as "negotiations" between two sjdes that are from 50-75 percent amart in their salary proposals. The same opinion came from the 4'm not optimistic because of haw far apart I know we are," Dallas owjger Jerry Jones said yesterday. "I'm disappointed, but I'm also very pleased with how the officials that are coming in performed this past weekend. We've had a chance as a league to review each performance and overall it was outstanding." Jeff Pash, the chief negotiator for the NFL, said Sunday that unless there was a deal in place by "late today or early tomorrow,' the league would continue the lockout. Officials would have to know by then what games they were to do and make travel plans. The NFL also canceled its annual meeting of referees, downfield offi- cials (field jndges, side judges and back judges) and replay officials, scheduled for Friday in Dallas. That meeting always has been held two days before the season opens. High-ranking NFL executives, speaking on the condition of anonymity, also have said if there was no agreement by the start of the regular season, the lockout was like- ly to continue well into the season. The replacement officials already have been guaranteed $2,000 a game for four games, regardless of whether they work them or not. Perhaps the pessimism is a favor. able omen. For two weeks, negotiators have been saying they were optimistic about reaching an agreement. That's been particularly true of Condon, who has said most negotiations come down to the last minute. The NFL has said it won't add to its offer that would double the salaries of most officials by 2003. The union counters that its demand, are justified because the official have been working for the sam( salary since 1994. The two sides also use "apples anc oranges" numbers to boost theii positions: The union claims that its official, make far less annually than official, in baseball, the NBA and the NHL. But the NFL notes that NFL official, work 16 games a season compared tc 70 in basketball and hockey and 14C in baseball. E
