Well, now they're disagreeing about whether they're disagreeing. The players say a deal has been reached, but the league says they aren't there yet.

It hasn't been pretty: "It was not a love fest," said one union official. Pam Wheeler said the players are left with bad feelings toward the league. "The players realized the partnership, quote unquote, that the players thought was there was not there," she said. "It's quite an astonishing revelation."

Mmmm.... maybe the players should have just walked away. Yeah, it would have been terrible for everyone, including me. But sometimes you just have to tell someone to go to hell, and walk away. Oh well... I'm glad it's over. If it's over.
