    You should stop with the childish insults. The fact is that the NFL is not your IT department in Canada. The fact is that Revis was under contract and refused to play unless he got more money. Nobody forced him to do that. He chose that tactic. The majority of players in the NFL don't do what Revis just did. There are numerous players every year who feel they are underpaid and who don't hold out and blow off their contrtactual responsibilities to the team, instead they negotiate new deals in the off season or during training camp. See e.g. Tom Brady - he is much more valuable to the Pats than Revis is and he was being underpaid - did he hold out on his contract??? NO. He went to camp and prepared w/his team for the season and he had his agents negotiate a new deal for him - WHILE he practiced, participated in meetings and acted like a LEADER. He didn't hide out in Miami. Need other examples - Mangold and D'Brick.


    Not everybody decides to act like a self centered egomaniac in order to get a new deal done.

    Didn't he say today that his old team isn't stupid enough to throw at Revis? I'd say he thinks 24 will be just fine.

    Really?

    Did you deign to watch Rex's presser today...?

    Talking about how Darelle was in great shape...but not really football shape?

    If you're going to speak the f**k up up, at least take the time to know what you're saying ...


    Or are you saying that Rex didn't hold a presser today?

    Yes, we are all in The Matrix and Rex is nothing more than an elaborate computer program.

    just space them further apart.

    And I would like to see all teams get national exposure, but I'm one of the few NFL fans who will watch shit teams and still enjoy a game. Most fans care about their team and nothing else.

    A jizz stained sock and half a jar of jalapeno relish doesn't exactly qualify as a puppet show.

    WOW~! I just found out Revis signed!!!! WUT?! WHOA!!!

    Man, after sweating it every 5 seconds for a month, I miss out on the news by several days. I am so behind the times.

    Looks like he didn't really get the money that he wanted. HAH!

    Also agree that in the end he kinda sounded like a dumb kid who wanted to have a fun summer and try and get as much money as he could.

    I love that Rex and Woody were able to help work out the relations side and get it done. Tannenbaum is a genius but he can come off a bit douchey and arrogant.

    it's not childish insults......you're retarded....that's your handicap, not mine.
    You've proven it many times in other threads.

    Revis was grossly underpaid.....imagine if Tom Brady was making Sage Rosenfels type money......he was still making a good chunk of change....6.5 million is on the lower end of the QB salary scale....but it's not 1 million.

    I'm not arguing about this anymore either....it's like trying to stop a kid with downs syndrome from drooling....you'll never stop the leak...not matter how hard you try.
