It's a two-way street but man, the players are going to take a poop-kicking by the fans.

It's hard to really make much of a judgement without knowing more of the details of the PA's offers, but, from the sounds of things, the league has moved off their initial position much more than the players have - and that's disconcerting, because I really believe the owners have come just about as far as they're willing to.

The proposal by the PA today may have been similar to what they'd offered before but I guarantee you it was nowhere near as ridiculous as what the league offered as a starting point.

I disagree. Offering up a proposal that delinks salary from revenue, when getting that linkage was the main goal of the owners in the previous lockout, was equally, if not more, ridiculous a starting point.

Frankly, at first glance, all three PA offers are 50-50 for sure over time. Why ownership wouldn't negotiate off this, I don't know.

Love that "negotiating." Take my offer or nothing.
