But even before the talks began for the first time since they broke off Sept 17, there were signs that more than just this third regular-season wee kend (14 games) would be af fected Gene Upshaw, president of the union, said on one TV pro gram both sides were "very, very far apart"' and that the strike could be prolonged because of the league's con tract with the three television networks. The networks will pay the NFL about $30 million for this week end's games and another $30 million for next weekend s The money will be refunded next year only if the game are even tually canceled Upshaw told his interviewers on "Face The Nation'' that CBS. ABC and NBC are in an "unten able position We feel the networks have to be investigat ed There's no room in this for a third party ' "Something needs to be done This has to be looked into," Upshaw said "The networks' funding the strike puts us in a difficult position All they're doing is extending the time we ll be on strike "We re very, very far apart," he said "It's really difficult for people to understand We re reasonable people We want to play football, but we won't go back under the system in place now" Upshaw said he expects that within the next few days, 'the owners will say to themselves. We re in an illegal position,' (because they have shut down their facilities), will open the doors and will try to bribe players, invite them in But the players are too smart I'm not saying no players will go in. but I'm saying enough will stay out that we ll hold together " . . . while football-less fans fret Franco Harris, a Steelers run ning back, was cheered wildly by fans at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh on Sunday, as he has been on numerous other occasions in his pro football career But the thousands of fans were outside the stadium, not in it And Harris was cheered not because he scored a touch down or made a key gain, but because he showed up at a giant tailgate party that had been suggested by Pittsburgh radio personality Jack Bogut in lieu of a football game It was the first Sunday of the National Football League players strike, the first interrup tion in an NFL schedule in 63 years Other tans throughout the country adapted in various ways — those who adapted There were major league ba seball games in several cities, and golf where weather permit ted. even family outings — a chance to break away from what has become a Sunday routine Although many churches in the nation have reported in creases in attendance since the strike began.
