Gene Upshaw is a Uncle Tom!


Snake

Recommended Posts

"He talked about Upshaw like a dog -- literally -- suggesting that that the former Oakland Raiders offensive lineman was the "personal pet" of outgoing NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and that Tagliabue's successor, Roger Goodell, should make sure Tagliabue tells him "where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash."

This is what Gumble had to say about the late great Upshaw. I wonder if he is patting D.Smith on the back for not being a "Dog", Now that the Union is on the brink of decertifying and a bunch of players will not get paid this year. Most people took for granted how well of a negotiator Upshaw was and how well he worked WITH not against the league.

Guess everyone got what they wanted when they hired Smith. He does not back down for sh*t and will not yield even though he is driving the Union right off a cliff.

I never knew Tiger could pull that much pussy being a dick head. People surprise you. :D

Rep for that one.

I can't believe that Upshaw is being bad mouthed. People need to quit blaming others and take responsibity for their own greedy self. I am starting to not care about the lockout. Hell maybe they should have a lockout so the players can realize how much they have going for them. I think the problem with the CBA deal is that the players have been making so much money all they care about is making more and more. The players should be ashamed of how much greed they have.

The sad thing about the CBA is the people who put the money in the players wallets are the only ones who are going to be hurt the most. That is the fans of course.

If you think about it... it's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black... in a weird quadruple-entendre way. 1. Bryant Gumble is white, 2. he calls another black guy uncle tom. 3. bryant gumble is actually black 4. bryant gumble is an uncle tom.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
