Don't fault Graham or his representation for wanting to maximize his contract; just don't want this fabricated BS in the press he's a WR not a TE, or the wah-wah Twitter Posts... If he or agent has to make a statement, then just say - "We've told the Saints how much we want..." "Jimmy is a unique and special player..." "JG has played well above his contract..." "Mr. Graham wants to retire a Saint..." Then just stay on message... All this other clever lawyer/agent bullshinski is just (temporarily) losing fan support as most fans have enough wah-wah in their lives with which to deal... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I don't think anyone on this board wouldn't whine their asses off to double their salary. And even more so for 5 mil. I would be a sniveling little biatch if I could get 5 mil out of it. |

The $5M difference does, in fact, come into play for future situations relying upon the precedent set by this hearing. |
