Words no one in the media room wanted to hear: "This session could go on for another couple days." -- Hunter.
They keep mentioning that there are so many issues. That's the cause. It's just too complex of a change all at once. The owners should have tried to change only about 3 things from the previous CBA this time, and gone for a 5-year agreement instead of 10 years. 5 years from now, they could pursue more issues.
Hunter says sides aren't agreed on 50-50 revenue split, but that's semantics. They'll say nothing's agreed until a deal. But they're there.
Aldridge Okay. Progress made on 3 of 5 system issues, according to source. MLE still a problem. And a couple of new issues added to mix.
Woj After calling deal within "striking distance" a few weeks ago, union's determined to under sell progress to keep players off rollercoaster.
Aldridge Meanwhile, source says players "ready to go" with disclaimer of interest filing w/NLRB if talks break down. Different from decertification.
Woj This remains a tenuous process but the owners wouldn't have, as Stern termed it,, "stopped the clock," without real progress. Onto Thursday.
briancmahoney 12 hours, and Hunter says they didn't even get into the BRI split. Apparently most of the time in these meetings is spent apart.
1 morsel of hope today: ending talks relatively early allows more time Thu. to try & break thru-or at least keep clock stopped until Fri.
Your new pic--you and Blake have the same head, only in reverse, upside-down. See it? His pointed chin is your pointed horn at the top. Your double chin, as broad as the curvature of the horizon, is the Mighty Mantle of his noble cranium. If you don't see it, sit on the floor upside-down and look at the picture.
