Quote of the day
"We can't say that major progress was made in any way, but some progress was made on system issues -- obviously enough for us to come back." -- NBA player union president Derek Fisher, after a 15-hour negotiating session adjourned early Thursday morning Daily blurb
Some of the talking heads are now suggesting that the NBA lockout may be nearing a resolution. My intuition is that this is wishful thinking, but since I don’t have a seat at the table and don’t know what pressures are being brought to bear on either side of the standoff, I can’t say for sure. The fact that yesterday’s session didn’t break up until after 3am is probably a favorable sign, however. The World Series resumes – and maybe concludes – tonight, under benign weather conditions. The same holds true if a Friday night game is warranted. MLB makes a lot of really bone-headed decisions, but I think they were right to postpone last night’s game. |
