The prior arguments, or raising my post-count? Because I'm more interested in the latter than I am digging out all those old posts for you on the former.
Again, the conversation on that between you and I ended quite awhile ago. As soon as you actually want to rationally and diplomatically respond to my prior arguments, we can start is up again. Until then though, I'm going to cut loose and just enjoy raising my post-count for no reason whatsoever.
I haven't lobed any insults his/her way. I'm looking to have an open discussion about what the present facts are concerning the labor talks. If he/she can't actually respond to the arguments, then it's best to just concede defeat and move on.
No, your responses are laughable at best. You've failed to answer anything that has been asked of you during this discussion, and instead are opting to play dodge-ball while lobbing out the same tired comments that NBPA apologists have been using for nearly four months now.
FACT-The NBPA looked at the books on six franchises, which is what they have access to do every year at the end of the fiscal cycle for the league. They dropped their argument about that topic a long while back. This leads me to believe the books supported what Stern said. Give me another reason why something, which should be a critical talking point by the players and the media, has vanished from discussion.
You have acted like the players are owed something by the owners; like they're equal partners in this. They've been getting 57% of the BRI under the existing CBA, and the owners want an even split. Lets discuss why you don't think that's a good idea.
Oh, and all signing bonus money in NFL contracts are guaranteed to be paid, even though the entirety of the contract isn't guaranteed (which is another reason why the NFL runs a smarter operation than the NBA, which the NBA is trying to rectify).
Whooooo! It's almost hump-day!
:-(
