The PTB, the power brokers, the guys in the back room, gave up a lot of their power to keep Nick. He held sway in negations in a way that no one else will be able. His worth was so great that they sold theirs away. Blank check, carte blanche, veto power. It'll be interesting to see how far the pendulum swings back the other direction and how far it returns.

Lord let them remember the sting of losing control more than the sting of simply losing.

And may it affect, effect, and infect the caliber they'll want and the caliber they receive. .. and receive... and receive.
