When you say they backed off the 2B number your refering to the owners still wanting their 1B they have been taking all along but instead of including the second billion they decided to split the difference 500mill/500mill and the players still balked. Right? It's like the players don't even want to give an inch. I think the owners knew they wouldn't get the 2B but you have to ask for it bacause you know the other side will talk you down. Like when selling a car, you want $2,500 you almost need to start out at $5,000. Thats all the owners did. But the players won't even let an extra 500 mill go.
