The “two weeks†phrase has been bantered about by the media, no one (from either side) has indicated any projected completion date (though Linden et al have hinted in recent reports that the end will come sooner rather than later).

It's RSN all over again.

In the old days, we used to talk about software releases this way.
Q: "When's Doom going to be released?" A: "Real Soon Now".

Now, the actual time period that would pass was extremely flexible. Might be a couple of days before it was released, a few weeks, often times was several months or longer.

A CBA will be announced Real Soon Now.

Y'all need to lighten up. :)

Just take the comments at face value and stop analyzing them to death!

Y'all? Does that mean you're including me?

Lighten up? Are you saying I'm a burden on you?

What comments should we take at face value, and what if some people put more stock in face value than others? Who do we believe?

By death, do you mean literal or figurative death?

I'm going to analyze everything said until my brain bursts darnit! You can't stop me! Not you, not anyone!

:D

Seems to me everyone is hung up on a deal getting done in 2 weeks - problem is, we don't know when the clock started, so when do the "2 weeks" begin and end?
It's like walking to a store and the sign on the door says "Be back in 5 mins."????
Lol. I think we should assume that the two week period starts today, and every day, until the announcement is made, at which point we can back date it.

Agreed, then we'll do a search of all the forums and posts that date back to the beginning of that 2 week period, see who correctly predicted the lockout coming to an end, declare them our new God and ask them & ONLY them all future queries on what player is going where, etc, etc. etc.

I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

:D

And BTW, whatever moderator decided to edit my title so poorly, please fix it so he's quoted properly. You completely mis-quoted him. He didn't say the lockout is over in two weeks. He said the lockout is over. Very different. Direct quotes aren't open for interpretation. That's why it's a quote.

If you're going to leave the bastardized title, it should be changed to "Lockout is over... in two weeks". I went to the trouble of making sure the quote was verbatim - you should too.

that would be me.

Your original thread title was open to interpretation and implied a done deal.
The title stays as is.

Any further contact you may desire ..PM me, as clearly stated in the rules.

Sounds good. I like the way you think, 311. I predict the lockout will end two weeks from . . . NOW.

Now as in the time you typed the word now, now as in the time that the post appears on the site, or now as in the time that I first read your prediction?
