has been freed up to catch 33 pass
es for 516 yards. However, Irvin
has yet to score a touchdown.
Davis injured a foot in Sun
day’s 27-20 victory over Carolina.
Mills enjoyed his finest career
outing in the Panthers defeat. He
caught five passes for 110 yards —
his first time to break the century
mark — and snagged an 18-yard
scoring pass from Jason Garrett.
His yards per catch of 19.4 is third
best in the NFC.
Deion Sanders, Eric Bjornson
and Patrick Jeffers will be in con
tention for the third receiver posi
tion if Davis can’t play.
Sanders has caught four passes
for 71 yards including a 55-yarder.
Bjornson has been playing
tight end and has caught only two
passes for 35 yards.
With the production of the re
ceivers picking up, the Dallas of
fense has climbed to fourth over
all in the NFL. Last year the Dallas
offense finished 21st.
NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time in its
history, the NBA on Tuesday canceled regular
season games because of a work stoppage when
talks between owners and players broke off af
ter about 3 1/2 hours.
The games during the first two weeks of the
season, Nov. 3-16, will not be played or made
up, deputy commissioner Russ Granik said. And
with that, the NBA’s 51-year streak of 35,001
consecutive games came to an end.
The league had been the only major profes
sional sport that had never lost a game due to a
labor dispute. The players and owners are ar
guing over rising salaries, among other issues.
The next move will come from the owners,
who will deliver a counterproposal later this week.
‘Tt doesn’t look promising,” commissioner
David Stern said. ‘‘The reality is that the own
ers had no choice.”
Stern and Granik made the announcement
late in the afternoon at a midtown Manhattan
hotel after the sides had met for two sessions,
one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The players made a counterproposal in the
morning, addressing the owners’ concern for
‘‘cost certainty” by asking for a luxury tax that
would be paid by owners who sign players to
exorbitant contracts.
Stern said the idea of a tax was something
the owners would look at, but by itself it was
not enough to stop the league from canceling
games for the first time in its history.
‘‘We had a somewhat more constructive dia
logue, but it’s hard to say if we got
jmmr 'mm* closer to an agreement,” Granik
111^ m sa id-“We promised to come back
y with our own set of proposals.”
A ■ The owners imposed the
|r lockout July 1, and the summer
and early fall passed with the
sides meeting only twice for for
mal bargaining sessions. The
talks Tuesday were the third be
tween the sides.
Patrick Ewing, Dikembe
Mutombo, Ray Allen, Antonio
Davis and John Starks were among the play
ers who attended the meeting. The owners
were represented by Gordon Gund (Cleve
land), Les Alexander (Houston), Abe Poilin
(Washington) David Checketts (New York)
and Jerry Colangelo (Phoenix).
‘‘We’re going to try to step up and talk about
the issues they’ve raised,” union director Billy
Hunter said as he arrived. ‘‘We’ve got a re
sponse, but if they’re inclined to wait for Dean
Feerick then nothing’s going to happen.”
Arbitrator John Feerick, dean of Fordham
Law School, is expected rule in a week or two
on a union grievance that more than 200 play
ers with guaranteed contracts must be paid dur
ing the lockout.
An agreement in principle had to be reached
by Tuesday to preserve the 82-game season.
The season was scheduled to begin Nov. 3,
but it could conceivably have been pushed back
a week or so to give teams about four weeks to
make trades, sign about 200 free agents and
hold abbreviated training camps.
In the last labor agreement in 1995, the own
ers agreed to pay the players between 48 per
cent and 51.8 percent of revenues. If the per
centage went higher — and owners claim it
reached 57 percent last season — the owners
had the right to toss out the old deal and seek a
new one, which they did.
They have demanded “cost certainty” from
the players, meaning they want to put an ab
solute ceiling on the amount of money that can
be devoted to payrolls.
The union calls such a system a “hard”
salary cap and has vowed not to-accept one.
“In terms of reaching a deal, this is the worst
we’ve ever had,” Granik said earlier. “We’ve
never gotten to this point without being able to
make a deal.
“The players have to participate in some deal
that lowers the percentage of revenues being
paid to salaries. But they don’t see that as their
responsibility at all.”
