No, no. We were merely recommending that they don't go.

LOL. Players need to get their sh*t together. They are all spouting off conflicting stories, seem to be constantly destroying their battle for public opinion, and appear to have no competent leadership.

Usually when you have a bunch of people telling different stories in these type of situations it is because you are not being sincere. The players seem to be just that, insincere.

I still haven't heard any reports that the players had a counter proposal to the deal offered other than, "Open you books for 10 years directly to us or we are walking". Heck the owners tried to meet them halfway on that and it wasn't good enough.

Yeah the players are losing the PR war big time.

Yup, first the NFL has done a good job of getting the word out that the players "walked away" from a good offer and now this.

I have thought for a long time that DeMaurice Smith is in WAY over his head... nothing he's done recently has changed that.

Great call to Sirius this morning.

"If this is a partnership, as the NFLPA indicates, then why does Manning and others not have to share all their endorsement money with the owners?"

It seems to be fine for the players to want to see the books on the owners to make sure they get their pc of owner pie, but never would Manning and others share their hundreds of millions from Direct TV, Gatorade and others with the owners. His pie is his pie and their pie is his pie.

You do know the owners have literally hundreds of deals worked out that the players get no part of right?

The thing that bugs me about De Smith is what he said after the decertification.

"It is with great humility and great pride...."

Really!???!?? You're supposed to be an intelligent lawyer, clearly he's just another douche.

He's very proud of his humility...duh...

In all fairness any endorsement deal a guy like Peyton or Brady have is going to be the exception compared to the average player.

Also, any deal that they have pales in comparison to the money the owners would be getting and aren't sharing, especially considering they were making enough to stash away to keep them in good standing for their planned lockout.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
