Really gonna need a synopsis because I don't give a s*** enough to go clicking links to find out what he has to say.

Asylum wouldn't put a link up for no reason.

I think the "some" he is referring to are the same "surface" fans that don't really know enough about the sport to intelligently comment on things of this nature. The folks that don't bother to really understand, or get to the root of whats actually going on.

OK, why not. I'll listen....something tells me it's about JG.

OK, he's kinda right, but he doesn't have to be so sanctimonious about it. There's a middle ground between "Graham is greedy" and "the Saints are cheap" and I'm tired of hearing the extreme viewpoints on both sides.

He basically reminds fans that football is a business and like all of us, football players seek to make as much money as they can for participating and contributing to that business. Said Graham knows that a football player's longevity is dependent on staying healthy and a football career can end in a moment with a significant injury. He chastises fans for calling Jimmy greedy like they did Brees when he was negotiating his contract.

But when a player is demanding more than he's worth, its fine with me if he gets hammered for it by the fans.

We fans love the team, and if a player demands more than we fans feel he's worth, then he hurts our team financially.

Hurt my team? Me no likey!

And what is he demanding? He has never mentioned anything about the contract. In addition, what we as fans feel a player is worth in not relevant. What is important is what the team feels he is worth. What exactly is the player that has led the NFL in touchdowns over the past two seasons worth?

The cap consequences are trivial based the 2015-16 projected levels. Loomis has also proven to be a wizard at structuring contracts in such a manner to avoid hardships.

So why be angry at Graham, who has personally demanded nothing?
