Wow! I'm shocked they couldn't come to an agreement on the BRI percentage in one day! Not. Come on, they'll either sort it out later this weekend(if they meet up) or early next week after taking the weekend to let it simmer. The players union will go down below 52% and find their happy medium and we'll be at all systems go!
I wouldn't fret. They've been yanking our chains all along. A week ago they were calling each other liars and it looks like the season would be lost. They met less than a week later, hammered several things out and yesterday there was extreme optimism (what was that all about?). I suspect they'll get this going again in short order... but then, I've been wrong on just about everything lately on the lockout, so take that with a grain of salt.
Well, according to ESPN they are gonna start canceling games today. They are walking away from a deal it looks like.

The announcement of canceling games won't affect anything. The current schedule isn't worth toilet paper. A new one will have to be created from scratch anyway.
