Rumor or trial balloon?

Thats where I was going with it, plus if you write the rules and train the refs, you certainly don't have to expose yourself so clumsily, even if Chuck were inclined to do so, which I don't believe he is.

I think you will see the rulebook used in a clearer way, with fewer 'interpretation issues', as he wrote most of them, and was present in the making of all of them.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

One might infer it's been seen as an "issue" in the past then.

Aight, Martin, think it thru. Who is chiefly responsible for the latest reunficiation mutterings? Three guesses. (And three answers actually.)

The latest round of integration talks has 3 major features :-

1) Billy, Adam and Jerry Braun's latest ESPN initiative estranging other members of the NXL and PSP.

2) Ged Green and Dave Youngblood's relationship, in that these two trust each other and both guys have a history of being able to talk and work together.
Trust and respect are an enormous part of any negotiation initiative, and these two have both for each other.
If Jerry sat down at any table with anybody to negotiate anything, they would all have to have a rear view mirror fitted to a specially designed cap that would have to be worn at all times during negotiation.

3) It makes perfect sense for the two leagues to integrate on several levels least of which are the financial side (industry attendance) and it also makes a sensible and constructive move toward world consolidation of format and teams.

Adam, Billy and Jerry have provided a major item that was lacking in last year's mergers talks:

A common enemy.

All good - time zones being what they are I do tend to lag a bit in terms of timely responses

now if we had just held our water and not gone of in a 'bit of a tizz' this thread wouldn't even exist...

Completely bass-ackwards, Missy, which is a somewhat unusual posture for you but I guess you've taken to presenting your favored feature first.

It might be more reasonably argued that without this thread there never would have been a public statement made by the NPPL. I might also add I'd heard the talk from multiple sources AND enquired as to its validity directly. The only response I got was the official statement which I posted as soon as I received it.

Are you also prepared to argue that if only all the participants of MS Madrid had held their water then surely the MS would have acted with the same speed and deliberation they have to rectify that situation, too?

 

[MissyQ]

Now why would I ruin the moment by arguing about anything?

Thanks for the compliment though. I knew you had been checking out my rear end. Better check yo'self.

 

[MissyQ]

oh, and love the new sig by the way. Did it take you a while?
So I guess, when you're not at events, you're mainly watching movies huh?

Coooool.........
