"what kind of sophomoric tactic is that? And you don't negotiate corporate deals over Las Vegas conference rooms on party napkins...you bring back written contracts and have lawyers pour over them, send them back, look at the edits, and back-and-forth, and once more for good measure."
You spell it out in your own post. A deal was struck on Thursday. Now contracts have to be done, reviewed, edited, etc. Everyone is sooo pissed off that it didn't happen by lunch time while at the same time understanding that it takes time... Completely bi-polar logic...
