"50-50" especially in unison, sounds like a pre-planned, NDA, company line. BUT...
Asking you to "keep the issue in your prayers" sounds much more up in the air and actually 50-50. If you knew it was a done deal you probably wouldn't be soliciting prayers. And asking someone to pray for the cause is a pretty trashy way to put up a smokescreen IMO.
Seems to me that the people who have real connection to this or as much real info as anyone on CB have no real assurance that this deal is done. Sounds like they're as nervous as the rest of us.
Disconcerting... but I feel a little better about life and football when I just repeat Taysom, and Tanner, and Jamall, and Ty, and....
