Elmhurst Steve only paints 3/5 of the house and then asks for more money.

If you hired a contractor to paint your entire house under a contract, and then he asked for more money after finishing 4/5 of the house, you would be pissed. But that is not the exact situation in the NFL. Under their rules, you as the homeowner could fire the guy and not pay the rest of his contract. So it's a warped world.

Both sides agreed to this deal under collective bargaining. Both sides seem to hate certain aspects of it, which probably means it is a pretty fair labor agreement. And everyone is making a lot of money.

Right and as long as NFL contracts can be voided, players will hold out. It's their only leverage.

whether it is realistic with how contracts work or not does not change the fact that when you sign your name to a contract and then later cry foul and refuse to go to work citing unfair pay, you are a douchebag.

Just to be clear, when owners cut players with time left on their contracts you think they’re douchebags too?

Julio Jones signed the contract. Play it out.

This isn't signing with management. This is supporting a signed agreement. If the NFL tried to not pay the player per the terms of the contract, I'd have a problem with that too.

The NFL actually can do this. Unlike the other leagues, the contracts are not guaranteed.

The douchebags are the people upset by something like this particularly since it has ZERO effect on their life.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

I wouldn't say it has zero effect. If you are a Falcons fan, it could have short-term effect of hurting your team's performance if he sits out. Long-term, if Jones is successful in extorting more money, eventually that will translate to higher ticket prices.

Spoiler alert, they’re going to raise ticket prices anyway.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Its one pie, Julio just wants more of it.

That was the Mike Glennon argument (who cares, it's just the McCaskey's money and has no effect on the team).

Were the Bears cheated out of a playoff run or Super Bowl berth by having Mike Glennon on the team?

A person's favorite football team's W/L% has no bearing on a person's life, unless they have some issues that should be addressed through couch time or electric shock therapy.

It didn't help.

Disagree. FF talking shit can lead to depression.

I think its the exact opposite of that though. Wasting 15 million on Glennon was wasted pie that could have been reallocated else where. In the falcons case, giving Julio more pie makes more sense than upgrading a back up tightend or depth Oline player.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.
