Who exactly is this directed towards? As already stated the TE designation was specified by the league. The grievance was filed by the players' association.

While it would be easy to direct blame towards JG or his agent, they didn't do this (at least not directly).

So again just wondering who's the ***hole in all this?

It would be whomever decided to drop this the day before the draft.

Take your pick, Jimmy Graham, Jimmy Sexton, the NFLPA...

It could also be more than just one ***hole.

How's this...

Nice timing ***hole (or ***holes that are responsible for dropping this turd the day before the NFL draft)

Better?

There are two:
1st. DeMaurice Smith - The executive director of the NFLPA who is also up for election next season.

2nd. (The fine print) "on behalf of Jimmy Graham" On behalf off is not indirectly involved, it is directly the cause.

As far as the timing, its fairly irrelevant. Its distracting to the fans but has zero bearing on our draft or what the outcome will end up being.

It is actually quite phuckin comical to say the least. This is a system arbitration over a system that was designed and agreed to by the two parties that are in disagreement. The CBA is an agreement between the NFLPA and the League and is the document that governs all this mess.
