Lockout!!!

[trigg3r]

I hope this is good news

Broussard said that progress was made but didn't have any specifics to offer. They will again meet tomorrow.

That's funny, because Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that his league source says "little progress was made".

I'm sorry, but if you meet for sixteen hours and you can only amount to "little progress" there are serious problems that likely won't be overcome this season. I'm fully expecting zero games this year.

One of these guys is full of it then. Broussard's comment about progress made is found on the video connected to this link.

Interesting. I'd lean toward the notion that progress was made. Otherwise, why show the urgency to meet again this morning? If no or little progress was made after 16 hours, the concept of meeting the next day at 10am seems moot to me.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Yeah, it seems likely that Wojnarowski's source is trying to comply with the gag order by saying that little happened. He should have said "no comment," but there are people who simply can't bring themselves to do that. No way do you convince a large group of people to meet unproductively for 16 hours and then talk them into schedule more punishment for the next morning.

gotta say I agree with this - seems to me that if they felt the meeting went nowhere, they wouldn't be so quick to get back at it

doesn't mean they're close to an agreement though either

....I've got to get this computer to do spell checking when I'm posting! Someone help me out here! I keep mispelling these words and your going to think I'm an imbecile!!

... you're an imbecile - and spell check will not help you out with that

perhaps a really good grammar checking program could help, but I have my doubts

Repeating kindergarten (somewhere like the south-side of Chicago) is my suggestion.

My thoughts as well. Why gag order if 'little progress is made?' Why meet again so soon? Yep, agree.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Oh, and I'm sure this is obvious, but there's potentially little difference between;

- "Progress was made"
- "Little progress was made"

 

[Qman]

I am not getting my hopes up. Even though I really want to be pleasantly supplied.

Ha, I'm gonna use that.
