I'm cautiously optimistic.

I really hope we can begin to see light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully if a deal gets done, teams can start the July training camps on time.

Now it's getting to crunch time for both sides. Up until now, only really mattered to fans

[quote=rypper11;805766]Me either. I watched the Detroit - Skins game on DTV. The only thing I don't like is when they are being shown on the local channels instead of the 700 channels. Then, sometimes, the 4pm kickoff isn't shown because the 1pm game is running over. I think I've missed a few dozen plays in the past 13 years because of that.[/quote]

I thought they moved the the 4pm games to 4:15 a few years back to help avoid the run over.

I would not be surprised to see a deal in the next 48 hours. But that's largely based on speculation

When it happens, we'll start a new thread

I personally CAN'T WAIT!

Will free agency start pretty much immediately? The flood of activity is going to be so awesome once the new deal is inked.

Re: Court Cancels Mediation, Settlement Negotiations Continue
 

I don't know how it will all play out. Or even if there actually will be a deal this week.

I was starting to enjoy the lockout. Damn.

As much as I'd LOVE that, I think two more weeks is the timeframe only because the owners meetings on June 21-22 will be where the deal will live or die. I think they can come to a framework agreement this week but won't actually do anything until next week because of leaks and lawyers.

Good call.

But if there is an agreement in a week or two, after the owner's meetings, that will be fine.

Why is now crunch time?
