Yes, you literally posted yesterday a clip of Armstrong being all Mr. Reasonable in his answer to gullible reporters saying that NMCs make the player more powerful than the owner. You stated that you wished more people would come to understand these two specific points that I characterized accurately in my previous reply.
Yesterday you wanted to make sure we understood something and I reply one time to you and it's all well we know what you think very clearly. Yet I literally did what you stated you wished people like me would do. I engaged with it and pointed out how silly it is for a person to uncritically believe Doug Armstrong saying an NMC makes a player more powerful than the owner when, as you yourself point out, he betrayed this bright line in offering two years of it.
You may hate re-hashing this crap but you re-hashed it. I agree that both sides bent some; it occurred in the context where Armstrong was bluffing and had no Plan B. So I can accept the part where two sides didn't come to an agreement and it happens, but I can't accept a hockey man misunderstanding the defense he built, as
@BadgersandBlues pointed out. If the hockey man had correctly understood the hockey part then he would have had the business man compromise more, considering how deeply bunk the "more powerful than the owner" thing is. That is a naked play to get fan sympathy, so that people react with "Pietrangelo wanted more powerful than the owner? That's not the way of the world, doesn't he know that?"
