this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; By substatively more I meant that it couldn't be more in every category. $58M total and $27M guaranteed over 6 years with 1 voidable wouldn't work. But if Bush got $250k more in guaranteed money with less total value, that ...

But if Bush got $250k more in guaranteed money with less total value, that wouldn't be substatively more, even though it could be construed as a better contract.

holy crap...some people are never satisfied!
i sell cars and one customer i had forgot to take their parking pass sticker off of their old car. i always remind my customers multiple times to check and double check their trade in before driving home in their new car. we sent it to detail before putting it on the used car lot and the detail guy disguarded the sticker. the customer called me 3 days later to get their sticker. she told me it would cost 20 dollars to replace. being the person i am, i sent her a $25 gas card in the mail to help compensate for her own mistake. 3 weeks later i got her survey in and she trashed me. that bad survey cost me $350. i was a nice guy and went above and beyond for a customer and it cost me almost $400. ghandi, considering the contract he will soon be signing i am guessing that 20 minutes of his time is probably worth more than a few thousand dollars. you should be lucky that you did not have a bill in the mail when you got home. just because you are a fan does not mean you are entitled to anything. |

Here's a good article to calm some anxiety a little bit, maybe:
And actually jergens, I seriously disagree with your statement about fans being entitled to nothing. Sure he might not be "entitled" to an autograph, but fans are what make the NFL run, not the players. Without the fans, nobody would care about the game. Nobody would buy tickets, buy merchandise, there would be nobody to market athletes to, etc. etc. Basically, without the fans, the NFL is nothing. We pay the bills for the stadiums, we pay the players salaries, we pay the coaches salaries, the equipment costs, etc. etc. I don't think every player understands this, when they really should. Fans adore these guys who probably wouldn't be making much more than the national average salary if they weren't athletically gifted, so I think that these guys should feel blessed and lucky and should WANT to give back to the fans in whichever way they see fit. Without the fans, these guys aren't crap; they shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them. |

deuce,
my point was that just because someone is a fan does not mean they can demand things from players. they are people just like us who are allowed to have bad days and/or refuse an autograph now and then. |
