Haha!  This is.  They still have work to do.  If they can’t reach an agreement yet with actual games at risk, you are DELUSIONSAL to think they could have reached agreement over coffee in December.

Are you that dense? That’s exactly the point. They shouldn’t have been having 20 min meetings in December. There should have been actual dialogue with targeted benchmarks. This is laughable. It just might be going right over your head.

Somehow this slipped under the radar and deserved more appreciation.

You don’t get it.

Imagine thinking this is the right way to negotiate.  Owners alienated their employees and their fan base.  But this is how negotiating works, until it doesn’t.

This is some self serving bullshit.  I wish their "official statements" were true.  Like "We believe the owners are being greedier than we are and we won't stand for it"

Owners statements have been worse

Nobody said that.  You are embarrassing yourself.

But my dad always said read the room.

The room says my instant interest in moving on is not in step with everyone else.

So be it.

When your wife said yes to your proposal, how much time did you spend calling up all the buffoons that said you would never get married versus spending time with your fiance?

Whatever.  Read the room, right?  I am alone on it.

You’ve said all along this is the right way to negotiate.  Own it.  You said this wouldn’t have been solved if they spent the entire time negotiating.  Lots of us said waiting six weeks wasn’t negotiating, you told us we were wrong. So forgive me (or don’t) for taking a shot at you, when you’ve been “that guy” the entire thread.  

[Stradling]

Also the fact that no deal happened is proof that more negotiating was necessary.  

[UndertheHalo]

Obviously this is a significant set back.  My concern here is that now that a deal could not be reached we’ll see an ultra hardening of positions.  This could go on a while.  Shit sucks.

OMG you are being a child.  I argued with YOUR dumb stance that all they had to do was start sooner.

I said this is how I would expect normal (serious) negotiations to occur.

I never said that it was guaranteed no games would be lost.

Be honest for Gods sake.

Wow, so he's been posting bad analogies for at least three years! 

[Dtwncbad]

OK let’s take inventory.

We have a couple already identified.

Exactly how many other fans are actually emotionally bothered so much by some games being cancelled that they have to quickly find someone to spend their childish anger on?

Unfortunately maybe.  I just hope this will just be an episode where both sides really wanted to make sure they left nothing on the table.

Hopefully they find some new flexibility and figure it out now that more is at stake.

Im still fine with a 140 game season if that what it takes. (Said this numerous times proving I never guaranteed this would be resolved with no games lost).
