Do you remember a couple weeks ago when I preached patience with the lockout because we knew they wouldn’t talk much, if at all, before the end of the year? I think it’s probably fair now to be a bit worried, but I wouldn’t go off the deep end too much. Stories that broke in the past week from people like Jeff Passan, who is very trustworthy, and Bob Nightengale, who also writes, were always stories we were going to see right now. Getting back out with media coverage is the first stage of negotiating in today’s world. And as I see it, what the players are wanting isn’t actually that big of a deal.
Lesky’s Notes: New year, same lockout
