Why congradulate him? Give a hand to Tags. Upshaw didnt do any fantastic negotiating, he did what he was paid to do, get the players the most $ possible. He kept bouncing his head off the wall, and it was up to Tags to convince the owners that the deal was what was best for the NFL.
Upshaw actually impressed me. He didnt gloat or anything, just said he's glad the deal is done with. That was the biggest surpirse to me. I half expected him (and still do) to throw it in the owners face.
As for him being a tard, he is, because he still thinks that his 59.5% of the new revenue plan is somehow less than 64% of the old revenue plan. Thats why i called him a tard in the first place. Never said it was a bad way to negotiate, just he was being a moron for trying to say $577 million more dollars is somehow less that what the players were getting.
I'll leave you with 2 thoughts from gene...
"the start of Free agency WILL NOT be delayed"
"The NFLPA WILL NOT accept a proposal of less than 60%"
