The process is likely slavery. First the combine is like a slave market measuring testing and prodding. Then you get drafted by a team and are stuck there for years without a chance to leave. But after that it doesnt compare.

But it is a process they choose. If they don't like it....get a degree and work in that field.

AP is a guy I have heard good things about. He volunteered to help out a St Jude's patient with a wish who did not qualify for make-a wish. ( The patient was 19 when things turned sour...had been a patient for a while. Farve would not help...AP stepped up in a big way. My sister works for St Jude's...that's my connection)

So, that and other things I have heard makes me believe AP is a good guy. This was a bad choice of words. He chose to be in a system that restricts movement. My guess is that the same system pays him millions. He needs a history lesson.....and I think the fact that he needs it may be a good thing.

Are we all slaves to our employer then? I go out and make sales trips because my boss expects it and I want to make money. If I quit my job I can't go out and work for a competitor the next week cause I signed a non-compete clause. I don't feel like a slave. I feel damned privelaged to have a job because I have friends that are struggling to make ends meet because of unemployment. The NFL douchebags should feel the same way. Pick up the phone and call somebody that has been out of work for the last two years AP, then lets see if you make that dumbass comment again.

Get a clue AP. Your fantasy value just declinzed.

I REALLY hate that fuging comparison.

Jesus, Athletes are such self-righteous buffoons at times.

If these people really think that they're slaves, then let this lockout show them what they really are then.

Christ, man.

AP, like all of us....agreed to perform a service at a particular rate of compensation, under particular terms. No one I know has the right to complain about "slave labor." We all made choices...even if we do not like them. Someone who is compensated as he is.....has even less right to complain. AP feels trapped? I wish I had his problem.

That kinda sounds like all jobs.

Fact is you can stop any time You like. Just ask Jake plummer or Berry Sanders.
