Installment 6 -- October 13, 1998

Has anybody seen what is going on in the NBA?

That they are canceling regular season games already?

Simply because the owners are finally wising up to the players' nonsense and telling the players they need to make what the owners rightly claim they say they must make (which is still millions of dollars), and if they don't like it then they can just not play at all?

And that anybody -- including Joe Fan and especially Joe Pundit -- who says that the owners are to blame in even the tiniest way know diddly about how it all really works and what is behind it all?

Have you noticed any of that?

Just wondering...
