I often do this. I find myself explaining these things to my son when he asks. I try to catch myself and just let him enjoy his team. I am just lamenting the loss of my innocence as a fan. |

I think there should be verbiage in the CBA stating eloquently "play out your frikken contract". After all, what is the point of all this damned contract negotiation when money hungry players sit out for a period when they are in year 2 of a 4-5 year contract?
It makes the salary cap somewhat of a night mare to deal with. I know restructuring has its benefits, but com'on man! If a player is not preforming up to his contract the team should have two options... Shut up or cut him. Also... you want to sit out? Sit out the entire season... With out pay. Stop fking with the fans! Its time some of these players grow up and live with the decisions they have made. Also, all of this bonus for 'showing up for practice' needs to go. You want to play football in the NFL, go to damned practice, you want a bonus, do something worthy other than showing up.. I am having a bad morning .. LOL |
