    For the next deadline, he should say the first 2 months are cancelled if they can't reach a deal. That way, the players would be out more money they then would if they agreed to the owners offer.

    Let the poor guys suffer, for all I care at this point.

    Stern: we depart on good terms with negotiators. We just have a gulf that separates us.

    KBergCBS: Stern on whether season itself is in jeopardy: "I'd like to think not." But with each passing day comes the threat of more games lost.
