Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the [URL="http://commerce.senate.gov/public/"]Senate Commerce Committee[/URL], wrote in a column for [I]The Washington Post[/I] today that coming clean about finances is the only way to resolve a bitter labor dispute that threatens the next pro football season.

If there are financial pressures that keep you from agreeing to the revenue-sharing plan proposed by the players, let's see the proof." The NFL's collective-bargaining agreement expires on March 3, which could result in a work stoppage if the sides don't agree.
