I say hire me as the lawyer for the Union.  I will have meeting, tell the truth to
the members, let everyone talk, and negotiate a fair deal favorable to ALL the
players within 7 working days.  Really, it is harder for the players to fail than
for them to suceed in these negotiations.  But because Falk and Tellum are calling
the shots, they are looking at it as agents trying to get MORE than is fair.  This
is not about fair negotiations, it is about the financial health of the agents.
That is who is dissing the players.  The Agents, Billy Hunter Falk, Jr. and Ewing
and co.  be dissing the players, not the owners.
