TALKS between the National Football League and locked-out referees remained stalled after a Sunday session that ended just before the latest angry incident involving coaches and replacement referees.
The league's website reported no progress in talks on Sunday after two days of negotiations last week proved fruitless even as replacements struggled to cope with the speed and physicality of the NFL in the third weekend of play.
No new talks have been scheduled. The league reportedly rejected referee compromises on pension and compensation packages in the latest session even as replacement referees from lower college levels struggled to handle games.
"It's not their fault. They are just not prepared to be in this situation," New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees told ESPN on Monday.
The league announced fines of US$30,000 for Denver coach John Fox and US$25,000 for Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio for comments berating referees in a loss last Monday to Atlanta.
NFL officials also said they are looking into incidents involving New England coach Bill Belichick and Baltimore coach John Harbaugh in Baltimore's 31-30 home win on Sunday and remarks by Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in a loss to Cincinnati.
Belichick figures to receive at least a fine after grabbing the arm of an official as the man was running off the field after the final play.
