“[Other agents are more optimistic, noting that both sides have strong incentives to get a deal done. They say neither party wants to risk a work stoppage right now, especially in these times with an uncertain economy and a war in Iraq.

If hockey gets real ugly from the PR aspect, I think basketball will get lumped in with it. Both sides have to be real careful.”

Oprah Winfrey
“[A ghostly side note: Soldier boy Miller played a Lucifer-like character in the final two episodes of Joan of Arcadia. Coincidence?] I do find it strangely poetic, ... that a character who shows up on a show about God to play something kind of satanic winds up in the very last two episodes of that show, and then appears in the show that replaces that show on its exact time and night the following season.”
Wentworth Miller

David Land
“Contract talks are over. Neither side in the negotiating room at the table has declared impasse.”
