This is getting really old. If these BB players and owners have not recognized the truth by now, let me state it emphatically.

You have not been playing and the earth is still revolving. Some people miss your games but in general, there have been one of 2 consequences to most of us. Those that attended the games have saved money by not having to pay your ridiculous prices to go to a game (Don’t think they haven’t noticed!). Those that have investments surrounding the games, (parking lots, restaurants, vendors, the guy selling t-shirts, yes, even cab drivers) have taken a huge financial hit in real dollars that are used to help support their families and themselves while you prima donnas are bitchin’ about millions.

I suggest that once these guys figure out how to split up the massive funds they get we boycott the games for a couple of months to teach them a lesson. My suggestion is that both sides should get 45% each and the other 10% be returned to the fans somehow for their aggravation.

Remember it is a very short window between football and baseball spring training. We can fill in the gap with hockey.

For Hunter to say they are near the end, that means they are either taking the deal or gonna concede their remaining sticking points to get it done. With that said, I could care less when this deal gets done. I lover the NBA and I had a great deal of fun watching my Mavs win it all, but, withouth the NBA, I can find plenty of other things to do. Anyone fretting over whether or not there will be an NBA season is crazy. I felt that way prior to MLB’s strike years ago, but when baseball came back, I realized I hadn’t missed it. I found other things to do. Let’s these egomaniacs argue all they want, when they come back, they come back. Until then…get a life!

We constantly hear reports of all of these “marathon” negotiating sessions ….23 hours in two days etc. They cant possibly do any constructive and productive work all of this time and still come away with nothing. Its
as if they’re in there passing around the bong and ordering room service. Get some REAL work done….and by that I mean results, not a bunch of rhetoric and “feelings”

Who really cares..These stick and ball sports are so completely corrupted by greedy, stingy, morally corrupt, lowlife pukes. NFL,NBA,MLB and even college sports[need I mention Penn State}..Nothing but a bunch of undereducated and way over paid dummies.

“The Decision” Part 2? One “Decision” was enough. Now NBA fans have to wait until next week to get an answer? Players are losing game checks while these “talks” have been going on for about 134 days now. The progress isn’t slow it’s stationary.

For the love of god make it stop already.

Players, I support you guys, but if I have to listen to one more press conference about “BRI” and “system issues” I’m gonna start flippin tables.

TAKE THE DEAL FOR MY SANITY!
