Well, the DGA didn't announce a deal today so we'll put another $50 in the jackpot. I've received a number of e-mails asking what I think this means and what I think it means is that they haven't finalized a deal yet. Speculation beyond that is really flying blind. As I said, I thought predictions that a deal would be announced on Monday were premature but not impossible. Another week is not impossible, either. Heck, it's not even impossible that the DGA won't be able to make a deal at this time. I wouldn't bet on that but you never know.
In the meantime, Jonathan Handel says some of the same things I said here but says them better and with more authority and less optimism.
