    ^I don't know anything about how the NHL does stuff. Is this good or bad?

    Is that Etan Thomas behind Hunter?

    WTF is he doing there? I thought he didn't even have a team.

    NBPA's Fisher said union did not break off talks just because NBA was sticking to 50-50 BRI split.

    HCP, check out the video. It's much better than following just a select few tweets.

    BTW, Fisher said it was the players that brought up the 50-53 "band" in revenue.

    Hey owners: you know why there's "parity" in other sports? BECAUSE THEY'RE DIFFERENT SPORTS! A superstar in Baseball or Football is one guy in many. A superstar in the NBA is one among 5.

    You want parity? Have the playoffs be one-and-done. Scrap the playoff model and just have a fucking massive NCAA type tournament. Oh, you don't want that? Because profits would go down? I guess it wasn't about parity after all, was it?

    Fisher called NBA claims they are not willing to make a deal "upsetting and frustrating."
