I think the' several reports' have stemmed from the original blurb about us in Boston Globe. I think the Globe story was b.s. as well... It's retarded.

Unless the NBA is gonna offer a price for the team as well as the fees and penalties for getting out of the arena lease, then it would sound more credible. But, even then, if you just read MJ's comments about making the franchise successful, I doubt he would accept the NBA's offer or plan.

The same thing happened in the NHL in terms of the owners coming out and saying that they were going to contract teams if they didn't get the salary roll back that they wanted. In this case, they're wanting the players to take an even bigger salary roll back up to 35%.

The NBAPA, or whatever acronym the players use, have a worst nightmare of losing franchises. Less franchises means less jobs and less jobs means higher competition for spots and even worse representation.

When you start negotiations, you come out with the strongest and most horrible outcome first and work your way back to respectability making concessions along the way. The same way that the NFL is already talking about a lockout like it's a foregone conclusion, that is where the negotiations start and the balance of power is known.

Nobody is going to get contracted. The league can't afford it and the players won't stomach it.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
