detlef Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Jesus H Christ did Detlef and BB just agree??? With a third party. I can assure you that we would not have agreed with the other had either of said that. Mind you, the statement made was basically what I've been saying all along. That none of us know who "deserves" what. That it's just two well-compensated sides trying to grab as much money as they can. Billy has been the one intimating that the owners are being reasonable and the players are being greedy. Which honestly makes me surprised that he'd agree with someone saying that neither side deserves our love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The owners stepped on their dicks with that TV package insurance stunt. That forced them to put a good deal on the table because they probably felt the courts would go against them. But DeMoran couldn't allow the union to accept a bird in the hand and instead issued their ultimatum and torpedoed the process, while shifting the court outcome to questionable with the "decertification" of the union. Both sides are equally responsible. I do think the players have a very good deal sitting there for them and are cutting off their nose to spite their face instead of sitting and hashing out the details. I also think that they're playing a dangerous game of chicken from a position of weakness. If they don't get this holdout lifted in court, they're going to wish they had jumped on the owners' last offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
