gangreenman Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 More on Bob Pompeani born in alliquippa just like darrelle and got the first interview with Big Ben after his last charge sounds credible to me. Again, he didn't report it for sure...Just mentioned it on his twitter as an unconfirmed rumor he heard. We're gonna have to play the waiting game tomorrow...This back and forth will go on pretty much the entire day Id imagine... By the time HK airs we should all know much more, whether its good or bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangreenman Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 revis getting closer to accepting a record deal from Jets...my people in the county say it could be a 10 yr deal 150mill 65 gauranteed!! That is the exact tweet from the guy Mort mentioned in the tweet. Just a rumor at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Good for Revis. Nice to see football players fighting for and getting a bigger piece of that huge pie that owners hoard for themselves. Owners cake compared to the chump change players make, and it's nice that players are fighting for a closer to fair share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow so they agreed on term and compensation w/ guaranteed money without it being solely on the organizations terms. What a concept! I mean after all, the commodity isnt the organization, but the talent...and this is business. Revis understood that his demand was high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Apparently Mankins has a some sort of self-sustaining ranch out in Cali... dude doesn't even need grocery money. LOL. Armageddon wack-job. The land doesnt work itself. He's out playing football, he has to pay someone to keep up the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, cause that's the best place to get sports news... slipperybananna.com Impeccable reputation. Ok, funny thing, this guy does this little trick.. he adds "NEW YORK -" in front of the post. That gives it the impression that it's copied and pasted from a news site or the AP. (If it were, it really should be attributed, so that would be bad in one sense). However, if you copy and paste that text, no other results show up on search engine. Meaning he's almost trying to make it look more legit than it is. Couple more things: first of all, I wish all new threads with the word Revis in them were temporarily suspended until we get confirmation. Saying "Revis finally signs" with a link to %$(*&$Q#*&$#*& SLIPPERYBANANNA is %(*$&*$#*&#$870 BULL%*&$. Have some common decency people Second, Mort's later tweet "Before I go to bed, let me set the record straight once more: We haven't "shot down" reports on Revis; Jets deny it; we can't confirm." <--- Nice job covering!

Klecko73isGod Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I don't really give a rat's a$$ how or where they announce it, just as long as it gets done. For now, I am operating under the assumption that this story is BS as I am pretty sure I do not want to live in a world where slipperybanana.com is a legitimate news source.

jussssstme Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I really don't think it's a Hard Knocks thing. It's more like Cowlishaw said <I think> in that Revis told his agent that he has no problem missing training camp and the first 2 preseason games, but he wants to be signed by the 3rd game because that is the all important play 3 quarters game. If there was no HK this year, all would still be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Knocks just gives them a place that's more prominent to announce it and it also serves as a major FU to all the naysaying beat writers which is not a bad thing IMO.

Yes because the Hard Knocks producers would really leak it to the boxing after dark guy who also works for a sattellite radio station. If they are trying to pull something like this off, I am sure producers probably had all staffers who would need to know this sign some kind of confidentiality agreement.

JerryK Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hey do Revis or his agent do any of that twitter crap (and do any of you follow it?) He needs to add this to his list of demands: ...and change the stadium name to "JETS Stadium" Then, as a fan, I'll be cool with him coming back.

IF this is a Hard Knocks stunt what purpose would it serve to keep it a secret? It must really help ratings to have a big announcement that nobody knows about. It's in HBO's interest to make people think that it is going to be announced on Hard Knocks when it's not. Not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
