Granted, things could still blow up between now and next Friday. The two sides, according to a source familiar with the negotiations, remain $750 million apart on the central issue – how much money owners will be credited off the top before splitting up adjusted gross revenues with the players. And as has been the case for more than a year, union officials continue to insist that the owners open their books and reveal the financial justification for the increase they’re demanding. The owners, as they have all along, remain opposed to that request.

I am now really encouraged by this news. I was skeptical yesterday by the 7 day extension. But Michael has come out 2 revealing articles that seems like to indicate they most likely will get this done. Seems like Players are playing hard ball, more than I thought they were in this. I thought Owners were mostly playing hard ball at first.
