NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and executive director of the players association DeMaurice Smith are waiting for each other to make a move. Goodell and Smith are wrestling over progress in collective bargaining agreement talks. If a deal isn't struck before the current CBA expires in 2011, the NFL will play under an uncapped season in 2010. "As I said publicly before, none of this gets resolved by talking about it in the media," Goodell said Wednesday on "Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio". "People want to talk about football now, not the CBA negotiations. That's for us to deal with," adding he's ready to begin negotiating with the union. Smith is waiting as well. "The time was ripe two months ago," Smith said. "We're still waiting for the first proposal from the NFL."
