Yeah. I never had the impression that the players were asking for too much. If anything, I thought they were incredibly reasonable. If they had settled this thing 30-45 days earlier, when they should have - if not sooner - the players could have gotten into proper, season-ready shape. Instead, you have about 1/2 of the "name" players in the league playing with an injury, have been out temporarily with a strain, pull, etc, have been out a significant amount of time due to serious injury or out for the season due to serious injury. I know I drug that out, but as I did, I had a whole roster of names scrolling in front of my eyes.
