So Jerry Richardson...

[Delhommey]

Got his infrastructure built for him with our money, and did it in such a way that fans have to buy tickets in order to not lose their initial investment. Then he raised prices while purposely giving us a lesser product last year just so he could pocket the extra money and build a war chest to use as leverage while he locks out his workers until they agree to work longer hours for less money. All this while he's already profitable.

Gordon Gekko wears Jerry Richardson pajamas.

Jerry might just be ahead of the curve. We didn't have the pieces in place to win a title, so why not clean house before the storm? I understand your feelings about this, but JR answers to folks as well (49% or so). In the end and with hindsight, we should be better off.

I think Jerry thought we could win with the young players. And next season, we will be glad they played. We get the following back: Williams, Stewart will be healthy, Otah, Davis, Wharton, Connor. Rookies from 2010 who could see tremendous improvement: Clausen, Edwards, Lafell, Gettis, Norwood (D fits him nicely at SLB), Hardy, Pike, and Pugh.

Meanwhile, we are millions beneath the cap.

Healthy. We have to sign about 3 UFAs and retain about 3.

And for those who think he screwed up by speaking to Manning the way he did, consider this:

1. What would Manning say to JR if he poked his head into his huddle and questioned his play-calling? Ask Jeff Saturday how that turned out.

2. It was the players who made that public. If you have a meeting behind closed doors, keep it there.

3. JR never butts into the coaching of the team. He stays out of the papers and rarely gives interviews. The reason? The press maniplates, twists, fabricates, etc. He wants the focus to be on the product. He is not interested in showboating, attracting attention to himself, feeding his ego like Jones, Davis, or other owners. However, Manning was playing his game, and JR schooled him. Don't for one minute think that his knowledge of Xs and Os converts makes him knowedgeable about dollars and cents.

JR is trying to preserve the league to keep the locusts from eating more than half the crop. We are a small market team. Appreciate him.

It gets me how people can support the players and gripe about ticket prices.

Fixed, and can not be overstated. :thumbsup:

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

This really should have been a topic of discussion at the town hall meeting last night. ;)

Longer hours for less money? I'd love to hear about this one. Please explain.

"Play 2 more games for 33% less money or we lock you out" is the current owner offer on the table.

When I look at what he's done I don't get mad. I wonder "Now how can I do that?"

[Panthro]

Didn't the players offer to take a 17% paycut already?

[PantherBrew]

JR is just pwning some noobs.
