No kidding. Graham was clearly pressured into this and he has to be feeling miserable. If you really knew anything about this man you all would know he is perhaps the most genuine person, besides Brees, on the entire roster. He wants this to be over as badly as any of us.

This hearing was inevitable. Its implications are far bigger than Jimmy Graham and his negotiations with the Saints. It has taken on a life of its own. This is all about the NFLPA, the NFL, and the CBA.

Unlike what some of you may think, Graham is clearly not "happy" with any of this.
