Might be another 2-4 months before we know anything.

Labeling the current talks just a "ruse," CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman refutes a report that the owners and players are taking the second round of mediation seriously.

After speaking with sources on both sides, Freeman believes mediation is just a "song and dance, ritualistic, done to satisfy Judge Susan Nelson" and the public at large. Although both sides want to come across as serious, the chances of mediation leading to a deal are "about the same as David Hasselhoff winning a Grammy." The players are confident that Judge Nelson will rule in their favor while the owners believe a more conservative court will reverse that decision on appeal. If Freeman is correct and neither side is willing to compromise, expectations should remain low.

Per rotoworld.

i thought i heard that she could make her ruling by as early as next week.

Yeap, but then owners will appeal. So it will be at least 2 more months after the appeal.

And if owners lose again, they can appeal again. Cool huh? They want players to beg for mercy.

He would be right on all counts. It is a sham and a waste of our time. Next the Judge will rule for the players initially and the appeals courts will rule for the owners in the end.

The owners have prepared for this for over two years now, there is no way in hell they go to court if they didn't KNOW the would win in the end. they also know the players will fold because 80%of them aren't multi millionaires and will go broke pretty soon

      I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.

      89 on The Pivot

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

      Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.
