Seymour should have probably keep his mouth shut
I hope a reporter asked him about it after the game. Idiot.
It's basically just a 1 year deal worth the average of the top 5 players at that position.
I'm usually all for anything the NFL does in handling the Union, but I don't really like the franchise tag. After a player's deal is up, sign him long-term or risk him walking. Don't come with a big pile of money, a couple of poison pills that effectively keep anyone from signing him and say "Tough luck. You're not going anywhere." It should require the player's acquiescence.
If I remember correctly Brees hurt his shoulder in the last game of the year and had major shoulder surgery to repair it. Not to mention they had Rivers waiting so.... I'm guessing some teams would have some reservations about trading for the guy.
Some teams even had reservation after having Brees complete an extensive 6-hour private workout.
SABAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok show of hands here, who wants to punch Russell in the mouth
The natural jokes have been made, but it's clear Tubby doesn't get it. Even if he believed he wasn't a large* part of the problem (which, to me, would be inexplicable), he should still take it that way. Of course that would require a show of leadership and a cessation of the nonchalance that he's usually associated with. Yet, for some reason, the Raiders keep publicly endorsing this behemoth as their future. It no make the sense. I'm still stunned they benched him.
* Figuratively and literally.
I was mistaken last week. Brett Favre is not King *****e. Larry Johnson's ignorant ass is King *****e. Unfortunately, the slothful bum won't merit enough mention in this thread for me to use the tag with any regularity. What a baby. Ass.
Here's hoping The Hammer gets involved. Maybe it'll distract him from the London fantasy.
