The Dude

I posted this on another board. Of course the people on that board just follow the general consensus of the board like sheep to the slaughter instead of thinking for themselves like people here do. One reason lwhy I think this board is the best of all sports message boards


"Nobody knows why Brees did not take the contract. This idea that it is out of greed is pure speculation. For all we know he is waiting to get other key players signed before he signs his contract in order to see just how much mony is left for him to keep the team together and get the best deal for himself. It could have something to do with boutygate, or it could be all Condons fault. The fact of the matter is we have no idea what is going on. Those of you that call him greedy are judging him without all the info"

And some simply want to counter the "pay the man" idiots with an equally uninformed "Brees is Greedy" response.

everybody be cool. you can be full of it, or you can think I'm full of it, and we can still be alright.

One area where our opinion counts is that many of us here are season
ticket holders.

I sure hope the salary standard across the league reflects the money paid by television, and doesnt require an increase in the tickets, concessions, or parking. If only the upper crust can afford the games, who would sit in the Terrace? We would turn into Jacksonville, or lame ass Reliant Stadium. Also, we are big consumers of NFL merchandise.

Again, I'd like to mention that I paid $75 to fill up my gas tank this week.

They SHOULD listen to us.

how can the league hold teams to deadlines for contracts and free agency when the most important component to the teams negotiations is missing??? goodell is a horrible comissioner...horrible. dates need to be consistent with dealing with monies is any business. this league is really run terribly. it makes you think "what is he doing" and it makes me feel like he is on vacation alot

It truly is. As a QA I person I like to operate on specifics. I don't like things to be left floating in the Brees (no pun) if you know what I mean. How can you enforce a tag deadline when teams are not 100% certain the numbers they have to play with? Something like this is unacceptable on a small scale. Considering the stakes in play with the NF effing L it's just plain stupid.

Goodell needs to step down. The 'bounty' fiasco, the players uncertainty with how they are supposed to play the game. The flag football rules implemented into the professional sport. The owners should impeach his ass.

C'mon Man...

I'm with you Guido. I don't take anything personal and I thank you for sheading some light on how this circus is run.

Is it me, or is BUSINESS getting in the way of carrying a sewn-together pigskin the length of a football field and winning by scoring more points than the opposing team?
