I've been saying they're staying for months now. Nobody wants to believe me though. I guess it's more fun to complain and drive yourself nuts.

You are not alone in questioning Mr. Barden. My favorite bit of history is that when a gambling license was being handed out in Detroit, he insisted that it should go to a "local" person - that being HIM. ha ha He obviously had no such sympathies for Mario Lemieux in the process here!

I'm with ya. I just want to see an official announcement. Then we can all finally breathe easy.

I know that's the policy, but honestly, it's BS. Just so you know...The problems arise when it's posted and a site is charging to view it. This board is not charging...and I seriously doubt the PG is going to give a Penguins fan board crap over it. I help mod a VERY popular DVD board, and we post stuff all the time, and we haven't heard a peep out of anyone...and never will.

As I said in my postFor those who are ready to crucify lemieux if they leave, you better be ready to treat him like the second coming when they stay.
grrr. They need to put all parties involved in a room until this thing gets done. Either that or put me in a round rubber room cuz I am ready to go crazy. This has gone on way too long and its gettting on my nerves. End of rant....
Maybe take a Midol or 2Jasmine wrote:I picked Mike Tomlin as the next Steelers coach over a week ago when all the Pittsburgh sportscasters were picking Russ Grimm. (Email to prove it.) I told Eddie O. he would be the next coach of the Pens 5 days before it was announced, too, if that counts for anything. I'm not a big BSer or lobbyist, but I know this . . . Mario Lemieux MADE hockey in this town, stayed here to raise his family, has done much charitable work, gave us his heart and soul, was one of the greatest players ever, and kept the team here this long. The fact that the local politicians turned their backs on a great man like this is bad enough. NOW Rendell brings a guy in from Detroit and sets him above Mario. If YOU were Mario Lemieux after all of this, WHY WOULD YOU STILL STAY IN PITTSBURGH?
PS THERE WOULD BE NO PLAN B OF ANY KIND WITHOUT MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not think anything said is a sign that the discussions are not going well. I will say, that Rendell made a huge error in bringing up the ten million and the parking issues, then claiming he does not want to negotiate in the media.
Burkle and Lemieux are now on the defensive - my guess they respond with another trip to KC.

Well, I work with a copyright lawyer on a regular basis, and I'm just speaking from experience. It's a public forum message board, and it's free to discuss things that are printed in the press...I'm betting that whoever contacted had zero basis under the DCMA to do so, and was axe-grinding more than anything. But, as I said, I know it's the policy, I just feel it's BS. Not that I really do care...
On the otherhand, there is the issue of bandwidth, and that does take up more space and whatnot...I know it adds up.
