Sources tell me City of Jacksonville and the Jaguars began negotiations today on stadium renovations deal

I'd expect those two to be sitting on Persian carpets and drinking tea while negotiating. I bet they could hammer out a good deal. 

'Oh, my gawd, he made a racist statement.'

For anyone who's ever spent any time in the Middle East, you can see it's a common way business is conducted. They lounge, smoke, sip tea and discuss events; then a little business; then each other's families; then a little business; and so on while passing deal numbers back and forth. Negotiating is regarded as a game of patient chess.
