Unfortunately, the process is the process. Collective bargaining was never meant to be covered like a game or an event. You get a 600 page document and a room full of lawyers and it's going to drag out like you wouldn't believe. It's taken as long as it's taken because unlike 1995, the league isn't agreeing to anything or announcing anything until it's fully executed as a legally binding document. That's why we're all sitting here on July 10th. This is how long it takes to complete complicated, complex 600-page legal agreements that re-write how an entire industry goes about its business. There would be some people in the legal or business world who would actually say this process is, relatively speaking, rolling right along at breakneck speed, believe it or not. But our sensibilities are as fans and we think a long wait for something is if the cars are backed up onto the road at a Tim Horton's drive-thru. Having said all that, get it done, dammit, this is seriously eating into my vacation time.
