Boys, boys, boys. We went first so NWA can pee on our proposal. They go next and we will pee on their proposal. The arbitrated list will come out and we will both pee on it.

Anyone who has been around contract negotiations knows this. If you negotiate anything you start off with an extreme and work your way to the middle. Ever buy a car? You didn't tell the salesman you want to start at sticker and work down. You come in thousands below sticker, he comes back with a sob story, eventually the "manager/arbitrator" gets involved and the deal is reached. In this case, both sides must present extremes as they are representing their own parties. Somewhere in the middle will most likely be where the list comes out. And if this depresses you, just watch the stock market and think of the thousands you are losing if you aren't in cash right now. Wheeeeee!
