It's absolutely crazy. We're like the gang that can't shoot straight. I would never have agreed to move the deadline unless they acceded to my financial conditions. I want to go to bed, too. But once they agreed to take our proposal to the owners, I had no choice. |
It's actually our model that they have been holding up as the way to go. |
It's beginning to sound like that movie 'Groundhog Day.' They give us the same thing over and over and over. Their last proposal to us was totally unacceptable. You see what happened to hockey.

ready to get serious. |
San Antonio has expressed interest in getting an NFL team, going back to '93 or '95, |
That was all in place with this kid, ... There was nothing anyone could have done that wasn't done. In a matter of minutes, he had the proper medical attention and was at the hospital. |
The clock is ticking until we get to the point of no return, ... Every time we meet and they stay where they are, we get closer to that point. You never know when you might have progress [but] they don't feel the urgency at this point. If you count up the months before you get to an uncapped year, it's scary. |
