NBA Commissioner David Stern canceled the first two weeks of the season Monday after owners and players were unable to reach a new labor deal and end the lockout.

Top negotiators for both sides met for more than seven hours Monday, returning to bargaining about 14 hours after ending talks Sunday night.

Stern said both sides are "very far apart on virtually all issues. ... We just have a gulf that separates us."

The cancellation includes all games scheduled to be played through Nov. 14.

Ya know what, screw all these guys. I pay $80 for the privilege of sitting in a chair for 3 hours watching something I could be watching on tv and getting ripped off for beer and food. Now all these jerkoffs can't come to an agreement on how to split the money they get from overcharging me. To hell with it.

If the rest of America is okay allowing this to be done to them then that's their choice. I'm boycotting NBA games for the foreseeable future.
