As such, I have no problem with NFL players demanding more guarantees, and bogarting their way into better situations when teams balk. It's a business and a livelihood for players, not just a slavish devotion to a team like we fans have.

And exactly where did MT13 not honor his contract. The player was injured and the recommended course of action for recovery didn't work as expected. That's not breaking a contract.

While I understand fans want to see their favorite players, the fact that they are unavailable doesn't make those players horrible people and contract breakers.

That’s why I said That’s just me. I fully well realize that I don’t work and live in the NFL world. I also fully realize that many of these players are prima donnas. I also fully realize that the billionaire owners are only looking out for themselves and trying to scam us fans of every dollar.

My point, that was apparently too subtle for some of you to catch, was that it’s fairly ridiculous IMO to write an article about what fuels a man that is getting paid that much money to play a friggin child’s game. More important people go out and do much more important jobs than that for much less money and they do it with pride and honor and don’t need to be fueled by anything much more than the paycheck.

Wow! That first TD pass to Thomas was an absolute bullet. I don't which was more impressive, the throw or the catch!

Great highlight reel!

I want every player on my team to be fueled by the desire to win. I want them to be driven by the desire to be great. I want them to want to be a great teammate. I don't want them to be in it for the money. Apparently you disagree. You think the money should be their most important motivation? More so than all the other more noble motivations?

Okay.

Good stuff vs Atlanta but I'm on to the Bucs, Bowles, and Brady.

Yup. This is the team that our roster was built to beat. We've managed pretty successfully so far. I am becoming less and less concerned with Brady. We can get to him. We always have and his line is the weakest he has ever played behind.
