Why, even if it was Graham being the driving force behind the challenging of the franchise tag designation, does it bother you? Why would you have an issue with it in the first place? He was always going to work out the new deal with the Saints anyway and was not going to be playing under the tag, therefore it wasn't going to affect the Saints cap even if he won the challenge. All along it was a fuzzy area within the CBA that needed to be cleared up. Both the NFLPA and the NFL front office appeared to have wanted the subject resolved, as well. Even if the NFLPA wasn't urging Graham to pursue the challenge (which I have no doubt they urged him quite a bit), what makes Graham such a bad guy in your eyes for doing so? I found the whole thing interesting and really never got the reaction of some of the fan base toward Graham who was little more than an outside observer wanting for the whole thing to be over so he could join him teammates, which he did just before training camp. |

And, at NO point did Graham EVER act as the whole thing was out of his control. Brees did comment in an interview that Graham was anxious to get the whole deal over with. That was the only mention of how Graham felt. That doesn't mean the "whole thing" was out of his control. I am saying that the idea to challenge belonged to the NFLPA and Graham obviously saw no reason to not challenge. What would it hurt. The vast majority of the time that litigation was occurring was during the down time between OTA's and training camp. And, yes. Jimmy Graham even had his twitter signature stating he was an "NFL tight end" the whole time. But that doesn't explain why you are pissed off about it. It was simply a ruling that needed to be resolved within the CBA definitions. Once again, why does it upset you so much? How did it affect you adversely? Even if he was personally trying to get paid as a WR, what business is it of yours? Does it take money out of your pocket? How does it hurt you? :confused: |

What could that personal agenda have been? The agenda was clearly stated as a to challenge defined franchise tag designations which had the possibility of helping many other NFLPA members. That's mighty magnanimous of him. Even if it was his agenda, who cares? Even if the NFLPA and the NFL front office were not involved (which they both were with a bank of lawyers on each side) it had no adverse affect on any of us, so why the bitterness? It is none of our business. All that you have been able to describe of your dislike of Jimmy Graham concerning the "tag hearing" is that in your opinion he had some hidden agenda. What could that egregious agenda have been? As far as how he "handled the negotiations", no negotiations took place until the franchise tag hearing was complete. It commenced on April 28, 2014 and was resolved on July 2, 2014. There were no negotiations during that time period. True negotiations did not begin until after July 2, 2014. Less than two weeks later he signed his four year, $40 million extension. That seemed to be fairly quick negotiating. As an interesting side note, the 49er's were also waiting on the decision given that Vernon Davis was holding out for a better contract. |

Why on earth do you care so much what I think about a player not even on our team? Kinda weird. Do you keep a 'Jimmy Journal' under your freakin' pillow with every word ever written about the man? Seriously man. Let it the :censored: go already. For real - the next time I make a crack about Jimmy and the NFLPA (and I absolutely will do that very thing) just breath deeply, or take a pill, or both, but try really hard not to try to convince me the 'poor guy' was a victim of circumstance, or that he was doing the right thing, or whatever it is that you think. I DO NOT CARE. I AM NEVER GOING TO BELIEVE YOUR TAKE. If you love Jimmy this much (weird) then great. Rock on. Your obsession with the man is plain strange. Get yourself a Jimmy GB Packers jersey and sleep with it, or whatever, but do not ever believe that you will ever get me to believe what you believe. I have an uncanny ability to read between the lines, and I don't get man crushes on athletes. |

:rolleyes: I have no "man crush" on Jimmy Graham. It is simply common knowledge why the challenge of the tag designation took place and it wasn't any "hidden agenda" by Graham (which for some reason has your panties in a wad). It has become very clear that you cannot look at this logically. I would have had the exact same stance if any other player in the league was in the situation to challenge the designation issue. Graham just happened to be the first. Therefore, just enjoy your hatred! I'll be looking for your future injections of unwarranted disgust for Graham. :saintsfan: |

Once again, let it go. I'm glad you are nearly as obsessed with my opinion as you are Jimmy's standing in someone else's brain. Still, I'm not going to re-re-re-define my position for you, but I will confirm I never said nor indicated I 'hate' Jimmy Graham, but your very weird affection for the dude is bizarre to be sure. Anyway... If you want to argue about Jimmy Graham, call his girlfriend and the two of you can claw each other's eyes out. I assure you I'm not that interested. Now lets see if you can let it go or if you simply have to have the last word... http://media.tumblr.com/c0f15bf721c9...JCC1r4axha.jpg |

Dude I'm not arguing Jimmy with you. I'm arguing the fact that you won't shut up about the fact that I see things from a different perspective and you just cannot accept/stand it. Oh, and before you go (again) for the last word, which I will let you have because this is boring and dumb, if you can get off Jimmy's jock long enough, Jimmy didn't make his challenge "on behalf of the NFLPA". It was the other way around, which has been my whole point pretty much. You can feel free to use The Google to confirm before you say something stupid again. There I go, getting it right...again. Details Bob. They're important. Have a nice day Guido. If you get lonely later since this'll be my last response to this weird obsession you have with my opinion, and since Jimmy won't return your calls, just reach out to your ego - it'll be there for ya bro. All last word freaks can always rely on that much. |

And it occurs to me that you are a bit of a last word freak, yourself. I accept the fact that you have a different perspective of the tag challenge affair, albeit an incorrect perspective. Given you have stated that your last reply was your last on the matter I suppose this will also be my last ... unless the subject arises again in the future, of course. :D |
Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency
Any chance you two can take this elsewhere? 2 pages worth of you going back and forth with each other is getting to be a bit much. Especially when it has nothing to do with the topic of the thread. Nothing against either of you, but seriously, enough is enough.
