Maybe we'll have a deal if the union offers to pay for dinner.

What did stern say? hmmm, im telling you now even if the meeting lasts for hours & hours doesn't mean nothing. & No it does not mean to some movement... They already know what they want , their basically 99% done. What else is there really to talk about now? stern just has to tweak the system issues here & there thats it. But their prob exchanging words arguing fighting being ignorant. Nothing will happen tonight, MARK MY WORDS I said it & Im sticking to it. What do you have to say now?

When the players dropped to 53....it was a long meeting
When the owners went up to 50.....it was a long meeting.
When the owners and player agreed on the MLE....it was a long meeting
When the players dropped to 51....it was a long meeting.

When Hunter stormed out....it was a short meeting.
When the Owners gave their first take it or leave it ultimatum...it was a short meeting.

Again, I'm not saying a deal will get done tonight. I'm just saying that its not as easy as you think. Here are all the issues:

BRI
Length of Agreement
Luxury Tax
Sign and Trades
Length of Guaranteed Contracts
Amount of MLE for Tax Teams.

and those are just the A level items. No way you negotiate a deal this big in 4-5 hrs.

Hasn't the union made enough concessions?

The owners will pay for the apps and the entrees, while the union will pay for the dessert. They split alcohol cost down the middle.

No word yet on what will happen with the mint or fortune cookie.

Nope, when they show they have enough money to pay for all that food, the owners will really be pissed that they're paying them too much and immediately go to the 47% proposal.


Joking people

Naw OSU, they are still far apart on BRI...

Biscuit Related Ingestion.

I don't see why 50/50 isn't fair.

We will not budge on post meal entertainment. Movie, more than likely we will watch Friday.

I've realized that I dont ever want to hear the word concession ever again in life
