seminoles1 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Mediocre deal overall. Good that the fringe guys got a few carrots thrown their way I guess. Not even a 50-50 split for 17 games + extra playoff game...joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it would be just about impossible to ever get anything to pass with a significant majority. 60 vote difference among 2k votes, feels unacceptable. Doesn't look good to me for whatever reason. But, I have no real effective solution to offer up either. So I guess I'll just go back to being a fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t the players get the benefit of relaxed marijuana penalties. Maybe that’s all they wanted in the end, which if is the case, is kind of sad given how much leverage they wasted with that extra game.

From the way this all went down that seemed to be their #1 issue. More important than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they will save that for 2029 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
