  1. Sure, cause you surely weren't insinuating that he was wrong with your snide remark. ?
  2. So we've not only learned you were wrong, but you also dont know how to be humble and admit that you were wrong. Great qualities right there.
  3. He has been that way his entire career. If he was doing as Kirby suggested he should do, he would of been the highest paid QB many times over. If you are out to maximaize your income, you don't take a contract well below your potential just because you have endorsements and a highly paid spouse.
  4. There certainly are teams that can't keep some of the star players that they would like to keep. Look at how much that Seattle D fell apart as their players started demanding star contracts. Yes, you can afford to keep 2-3 players at top contracts, but that's about it. Like I said before.... Tom Brady. Take a look at his contract throughout the years. Never once has he been the top paid QB or had the highest contract. He has on many occasions restructured in order to pay other players. Yes, I know restructuring isn't essentially losing money, just changing the way it's dolled out. In fact, in 2016, 17, and 18 Joe fricken Flacco's cap hits were $22.5, $24.5, and $24.7 M... Brady? His was $13.7, $14, and $22 M. I do agree with you however about the QB position. That is the one position where you have to pay your franchise guy. We all know what its like not to have that guy. And again, I never said it's bad that someone wants to get what they are worth.
  5. You know one thing that really doesn't matter? Your opinion. If you don't care then why the f are you even in the thread?
  6. Point to where I said they shouldn't. Let me help you, you won't find it because I never said it. What I was saying was that I think its a positive when you have a top rated player that knows the importance of keeping more than just him on the roster. Earning window of 10 years, huh? I can care less about that. Most starters in the NFL make more money in 1 year playing a game than I will in my lifetime. They only go bankrupt because they don't know how to not spend that money. So you don't think a QB that is getting $30 M per isn't limiting the team? Or a WR make $20 M per isn't? You got save somewhere on the team after having those kinds of contracts. There's a reason why the draft is so valuable now... Rookie contracts that can keep star players and fill the team out for cheap for 4-5 years. This is exactly McBeane's strategy if you haven't noticed.
  7. huh? You're embarrassed by me because I pointed out what happened? I think its stupid that Titans fans cheated to win and I think its even more lame that Fox let it happen. Beyond that, I have two exams to study for so...
  8. My apologies, I didn't see you ask it the first time. In a world with players that are only out for themselves such as OBJ, its nice to see someone that thinks about the team as well. I don't doubt that.
  9. No, its the fact that he knows that its important to be able to sign more than just him. This is exactly the benefit that Brady has given the Patriots throughout his career. While QBs are getting $100 million contracts, he isn't close. Being able to have top-rated talent at team friendly deals is a major plus in my book.
  10. Of course he wants a new contract, but it's refreshing to hear a player say that being the highest paid isn't his priority. He even stated how important it is to be able to keep other players around, which shows he's not a selfish teammate. That definitely sounds like a McBeane type attitude to me.
  11. Damn... really wish we could trade for this guy. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001024905/article/julio-jones-doesnt-care-about-being-highestpaid-wr
  12. Winslow, AZ is the small town they modeled the movie cars off of with the old route 66. Theres actually a little hotel with the teepees just like the movie.
  13. I've lived in Buffalo for a few years and have visited Pittsburgh a handful of times as it's where my in-laws live. Pittsburgh is a dirty, disgusting, *****-hole of a city. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
  14. Lol... I went straight to the comments after seeing that essay
  15. Yes, overcompensation injuries are a thing. They typically relate to when someone has an injury. The body begins to overcompensate for the injured body part resulting in either a worse injury or another injury. I suppose changing from the left to the right could contribute to overcompensation injuries as he has played so long at one position, the mind-muscle connection may not be as developed for the differences, which will lead to overcompensation of the stronger muscles/connections. I didn't follow his injuries last year, so I have no idea if this was a contributing factor or not. I just read on a Raiders report that he was shifted to RT after they drafted a new LT.
  16. absolutely... pretty f'd up for Bills fans to be doing that at TC
  17. It wasn't a press conference, but the day they introduced JP Losman to the fans was terrible. Jim Kelly opened up getting the crowd all pumped, then put Losman on... I remember thinking WTH?!?!?!? when he started attempting to talk.
