The NYT is reporting: N.B.A. and Players Reach Tentative Deal to End Lockout
It includes a significant pay cut for players, along with shorter contracts, smaller raises and a more punitive tax system to rein in the top-spending teams.
Generally, the agreement will curtail sign-and-trade deals, eliminate extend-and-trade deals and place several new limits on teams that pay the luxury tax.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and pause a moment to reflect on the blessings you’ve received. I hope you ask each around your table, “What are you thankful for?”
I am thankful for my health and my wife’s and our family’s health; for the love of my wife, Beverly, and Ralph the dog. I am thankful for my yellow bus job and the checks each month from social security. I am thankful for two great daughters and two great grandkids; that we all have a home that is warm and there is food enough for us all. I am thankful for over 23 years of sobriety. I am thankful for friends who put up with all my s–t and seem happy to have me around.
Manchurian Turkeys?
Why does this give me the creeps? The turkeys named and to be pardoned by our current president have been groomed for this occasion from birth.
(Sherrie) Rosenblatt, (spokewoman for the National Turkey Federation), says the birds are specially selected at birth to be part of the pardoning ceremony. They are exposed to music, hand feeding, cameras, and loud noises to prepare them for the event, covered by the White House press corps. [Bachmann’s Thanksgiving: Cheap Bird and ‘Turkey Bingo’.]
“It is kind of like a beauty pageant,” Rosenblatt says. “The turkeys have to look good on camera, but also have a nice demeanor. They have to have pride in the honor that is bestowed upon them.”
And We Are Back!
