Sportsnet's Michael Grange and the CBC's Elliotte Friedman posted late-night CBA negotiating insanity gems, but Yahoo Sports' Nicholas J. Cotsonika has taken the cake and then some for encapsulating Thursday's episode of Proskauer-Rose Shore in two simple, eloquent Tweets:

If you missed the optimism of Fehr's presser and the voicemail from hell (Bill Daly) yielding, "Rut roh, Raggy" revision, Gary Bettman and Daly's Emo Supremo rant-rave-shake-and-squirm performance and the "deep inside" vs. "Ron Hainsey says any Fehr was done deal undone" Twitter war, Cotsonika's delivered all you really need to know (but go and read Grange and Friedman anyway).

Some situations "jump the shark." This one seems to have morphed into, "Ride in the shark's jaws, whee!"

(and for those of you who don't know what "n-v-t-s nuts" is, look up History of the World, Part 1 somewhere)

Update: And here's Cotsonika's take. At least we all get to take the weekend off from CBA talk before the insanity begins anew...Maybe?
