"It is hard to feel overly happy or satisfied with the result because of the way in which we arrived at an agreement. I am still embarrassed that we players have such a poor relationship with our league as a whole," Miller said. "It is so poor that we wasted 34 games for each club and have alienated our fans and sponsors. An apology doesn't really help right now but I would like to start somewhere with our fans, especially in Buffalo. I am sorry."

Maybe he should of thought of that before his tantrums during negotiations. I lost respect for Miller during this lockout, many players actually.

He's never held back before, I don't see why he would here.
Were there ever any substantiated reports of what went on that night or just rumors on twitter?

On TSN it was said he got really heated, and apparently he was one of the first to call for the disbanding of the union or something. Bottom line, the players kept acting victimized, when they too were a big part of the lockout and were arguing for senseless things.

Egh, both sides suck but IMO the owners were the winners.
The players went from 57% to 50% of revenue...They weren't whining about nothing. (this is outside of the Miller incident)

Meh. As long as it stays 50/50 it's fair, at least.
