littleD said:I haven't been following any of this stuff for a while.
Can someone give me a quick recap on why there seems to be so much optimism around?

BobMckenzie said:Wanna bet on that? Take this for what it's worth. We are many days, if not a week or two or more from a new CBA. It's all going in the right direction, but there are still some challenges and work to be done. It's not done until it's all done and if I were you guys I would chill with the minute by minute expecation that it's all done. A lot of people are going to say, oh, it's done but it's just the lawyers going over the language. I disagree. Certainly, there's reason for optimism but it is, IMO, way out of hand right now and everyone seems to be expecting an announcement in very short order. If so, I would say you're going to be disappointed. I would be shocked if there's not a deal this month sometime, but that's as far as I would go right now.
I can definitley live with the deal being done in the next monthBobMckenzie said:Wanna bet on that? Take this for what it's worth. We are many days, if not a week or two or more from a new CBA.

sveiglar said:My post was actually a jab at the rampant fanboy optimism the past two days... I tried to make it as over-the-top as possible to avoid confusion of it being serious. For the record, I completely agree with you.
BobMckenzie said:Doesn't speak too well of my powers of perception. Maybe there will be a new CBA by day's end.
p.s. that's just a joke. Can see it now...McKenzie says new CBA by day's end. Boy, will I be glad when this is all over.
