Daly is acting totally inappropriately in making statements to the press about an unresolved legal issue. Flames management should consider a law suit. Daly is no way the be all and end all in interpreting this document. He's one of several parties invovled. He has no more authority to interpret the document than Feaster does.

Completely agreed. Honestly the reason I asked for a source earlier (which was idiotic seeing as it was in the OP that I didn't read thoroughly) was that I couldn't believe Daly would make a definitive statement on something that has a pretty large ambiguity in it. Unless there are further documents that clarify the interpretation of that clause I could easily see an arbitrator (I'd imagine that's who would hear any argument) siding with either interpretation.
