Tom Sorensen on WFNZ: New CBA could be reached by Friday

[cdandi1]

I just took my lunch break, and while driving I was listening to WFNZ's Bustin' Loose with Frank & Moose. Frank Garcia said that Tom Sorensen of the Charlotte Observer said on the previous show (OTB with Brett Jensen), according to his sources, a new CBA could be completed Friday and the lockout could be lifted sometime next week...

Around the time Tom Sorensen said this on OTB, ESPN posted an article online saying that the Owners and Players have agreed to meet everyday this week...http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6711660

Hope this is true, because like everyone, I am tired of pooty threads and no football..fwiw

Boy I hope he's right... I'm having major NFL withdraw - can't wait to take the wrapper off this new coaching staff, rookie QB, etc and see what we've got.

Settle in and find a baseball team to watch. It will get done but it's far from being over.

Well baseball is going to be over by Wednesday if not tonight (CWS). I can't stand the MLB...guess im screwed.

Fantasy Baseball is keeping me afloat. And thanks to PhillyB (I think it was PhillyB) for the Michael Morse tip last month, he has raked for me.

Yeah... Cause we all know that PFT articles are so reliable right?

[SCP]

And Sorenson needs to stick to writing fluff pieces about female ping pong.

[thunderraiden]

Yea its kinda hilarious, i would actually watch baseball if it had fewer games. CWS is exciting because of the razor thin edge its walking of simple series, whilst MLB seems like a boring sloberknocker of lackadaisical pansies.

[Panthro]

Yeah... Cause we all know that PFT articles are so reliable right?

Sorenson vs PFT

Soreson is the Bob Ross of sportswriters. Yea, we know the grass was dewey and the air was cold Tom.

I think this commenter is right:

It means one of two completely opposite things:

1) They are very close to a deal (maybe even already agreed in principle) and it is time to get the lawyers involved to dot the i’s and cross the t’s and dispose of the anti-trust case.

or 2) They are deadlocked and need a break. While on break, they are sending the lawyers back in to fight over the anti-trust case.
