Thanks for the info Crush. Do you know if there is a similar site for the players POV? I would like to see them side-by-side.

You should know by now that balance, fair-mindedness and reason have no place in these lockout discussions!

I'm now just confused- what exactly is the union deciding on today- the proposal isn't even complete! All the b list issues, some of which are very controversial, haven't even been discussed- so how can the players accept the agreement? What happens if they do accept it and then the two sides can't agree on the b list issues? Or will the owners not push for the b list issues? If they do why do they think a decision on those would be reached quickly, when we've seen how slowly these negotiations go?

It's just created a lot of confusion for me, and as the players seem to be deciding on whether to accept the deal based on b list issues that may or may not exist, it seems like I'm not the only one. This whole thing is an absolute mess.

They should've settled every small issue already so that agreement to a deal is really THE WHOLE DEAL!!! This process is a mess and has been horribly handled by both sides.

It's hard to believe grown men can't come to an agreement so they can go back to work. This leaves only one explanation-- they enjoy the layoff and surrounding hoopla.

It never ceases to amaze me how much greed and stupidity often are never too far away from each other.
