The owners are dug in. This will take forever They’re dug in until they aren’t. They’ll come to some sort of agreement (good or not) before losing a season or part of a season. The thing that's [expletive] (not just now, but for the past forever years) is that ownership/Manfred always decry the chasm between the large and small market teams.....that they created themselves. It's an artificial complaint that they use for leverage and everyone knows its crap. One of the richest owners in the league is the owner of the Guardians, but he acts like he has no money. They're all billionaires; the large/small market thing is negligible.

This is so optimistic but how can you feel this way? They've had months to negotiate and walked away after 7 minutes yesterday. What will create the incentive between now and February that wasn't already there? I don’t think they’re really that far off from a deal/middle ground in reality. There’s no huge asks by either side it seems they can’t sort through. Everyone can have a few weeks here to get their sound bytes and tweets and what not out to sound mad or whatever, but I think end of the day they’ll get something done sooner than later (in terms of losing games/affecting the season). The Covid season negotiations may have helped a bit too since they had to sort some similar things out for that. The owners are dug in. This will take forever

I think we're safe, as he didn't know any of the names of the people who wronged him -
Any big names signing in the next 2 hours, or will we have 3 months of blue balls?
-
So when the CBA expires tonight, is that the end of free agency/trades until a new CBA is signed?
-
Nothing will get done until players start losing checks and owners start losing ticket revenue
-
Because he’s getting paid a metric ton and wants to win a title. He wasn’t accomplishing either by staying at ND. He could have leveraged the LSU offer into a metric ton of money at ND, and the SEC is only going to get harder, not easier. He had a better chance at the playoffs playing Purdue and Navy every year than having to compete with Bama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Auburn, Florida, etc. to even win the SEC
-
Riley was smart to get OUT of the SEC while the getting was good. I don't know why Kelly would want to go INTO the SEC a few years before Oklahoma and Texas show up
-
So gross
-
Fun fact about Scherzer: not only is he making $43M a year from the Mets, but the Nationals are paying him $15M a year in deferred salary
-
He ended up on the Mariners in my MLB: The Show game, so my money is on that
-
Eh, players don’t want to join up with this horsefeathers show As opposed to the Rangers? Tells you a lot, doesn't it

In the Tweet I swear it looked like he was over
-
This Bengals team is confounding.
-
Does that hitting his own guy in the back negate the illegal forward pass?
-
Cubs can't even sign the reclamation arms anymore
-
Man, if Auburn had held in we would’ve had the trifecta
-
They'll bend over backwards to pick the four teams most likely to see good TV ratings and sell tickets. Baylor vs Cincinnati (for example) is a nightmare scenario for them
-
They'll somehow be ranked above Cincy and Michigan again
-
I don't, they played prevent defense at the end of the game and it bit them in the ass. I hate it when a team has a great defensive gameplan for 59 minutes then abandons it at the end
-
Bama ties it. Nice prevent defense, Auburn p.s. Bama receiver totally pushed off and no call (of course)
-
PSU gives a 10-year extension to the guy who can't win against ranked opponents. Here's to another decade of 8-win seasons
-
Chances of an Oregon v. OSU rematch in the Rose Bowl?
-
This PSU v MSU game looks terribly on TV. It's basically a black and white broadcast
