Talks Resume To End Labor Impasse!!!

[airchibundo507]

Players willing to accept 50-50 BRI split. Must have handshake agreement by this Friday. (source: ESPN)

[airchibundo507]

Agreement would result in 66 game season starting at the end of December.

I could live with that... now make it happen Stern and Silver and Hunter and Fisher and Kessler!

False Hope: Volume 47

false hope is better than no hope at all.

[airchibundo507]

No, this isn't false hope like the other times. the players must have had an epiphany. You don't just make a hard push for litigation only to shy back into negotiations.

Stern and Kessler loathe each other. Removing Kessler from lead role and putting measured, reasonable Quinn in room could be huge.

. @HowardBeckNYT reports players hired Jim Quinn to close deal. He appears to have replaced Kessler as lead negotiator. nyti.ms/uxeJ1d

Would make a great Thanksgiving/Christmas gift for this thing to end.

[Sarcastic]

Players should accept 50/50 on the condition that Stern quits after this season.

[AMISTILLILL]

If it happens, it happens. I'm not very optimistic though (and I doubt very many people are).

[AI3Anthony]

This was so random that I think the players want it. The desertification was a bluff. I think we get a deal done Friday.

[kurple]

Don't see it happening.. Players will have to miss a lot more paychecks before they give in
