The greedy pricks are trying to get theirs. What a douche that Mankins is ....I think you forgot to show your venom against Jackson as well. Ooops, he's not on a Boston team. My bad. Carry on, Hater. Joking aside, I'm with you. I understand the players being angry (moreso, their agent/attorney)- but, c'mon, you are going to eff over all the other players, employees and FANS? And, explain to me how a one year franchise tag at $10.1 million dollars is a bad deal for Mankins? Whatever, the psuedo union should tell these two to go jump off a cliff.

ECURB Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 None of this matters, the players are just waiting to see if the owners approve the deal first. If the owners approve it the players will quickly follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this in another thread, both sides should take the action needed to remove those 2 from the class-action suit and let them go one on one with the NFL while everyone else settles. Just based on resources alone they'll get absolutely destroyed and drained of every cent they have in the process. Frankly, they both deserve it, same for anyone else who wants to try to pull crap like this, and frankly I don't care what team they play for either.

Integrity28 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Disagree. Mankins is sticking it to the Patriots and getting what he feels he deserves. After a decade of watching the Patriots pay players less than competitive salaries because "they are the Patriots" I feel its a nice change of pace to watch a player push them around. Also, did you see how much better that team got when he returned to the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can feel free to do that when the NFL season is back by refusing to sign his franchise tender and holding out or whatever the hell else he wants to do. If he has an issue with the Patriots, he can take it up with the Patriots, not the entire NFL. His pulling this sh*t now shows him to be a pathetically greedy self-centered a$$hole, who is willing to screw with the situation of every other player in the league because of his own bullsh*t. It's pathetic and if it's true I really do hope he, Jackson and anyone else who pulls this sh*t ends up getting completely screwed over by their own disgusting greed. It really takes a special kind of scum to stand out head and shoulders as the greediest amongst the crowd involved in these negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really takes a special kind of scum to stand out head and shoulders as the greediest amongst the crowd involved in these negotiations. I completely disagree with this. The named plaintiffs in the last lawsuit were exempted from the franchise tag, and as representatives of all the players, it's the responsibility of Jackson, Brees, Mankins, etc. not to give ground, because then what happens next time? Maybe the class reps get blackballed. Rising tide lifts all boats, remember? That's what the position of the union has always been and now that the rookie pay scale compromise has shot that all to hell you see that the alternative is the players get divided and conquered. Now you've got some retard punter taking public shots at superstars. The union will always lose because the owners are just much better at PR.

These individuals by all accounts did absolutely nothing but put their names down on paper and then sit back and wait. The reported negotiators on the players side have been almost entirely NFLPA reps, not plaintiffs, with the exception of the QB trio's few highly publicized appearances. They simply tried to get the biggest names possible from different teams to put their names on the dotted line for headline and publicity purposes, nothing more. Now suddenly some of these guys feel like they should get special treatment over the rest of the league for that? Mankins and Jackson have literally done nothing that justifies them holding the rest of the league hostage while they wait on their own selfish demands. If there was something they wanted to negotiate in for the named plaintiffs then it's something that should have been taken care of during negotiations, and not wait until the last second when they're screwing over everyone but themselves. Granted I know that means it would have meant their lazy asses actually being involved and doing something other than waiting around and then throwing their little fit at the last moment, but that's not exactly the most unreasonable request.

This is true, but considering how much dough is at stake in the matter in total, a no-tag clause or some commensurate compensation is right in line with the kind of extra benefit that a named plaintiff, even one whose participation is basically nominal, could reasonably expect to receive. You think that's bad, you oughtta see the lawyers' end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that's bad, you oughtta see the lawyers' end. I don't necessarily disagree with this premise, it's more the means they decided to address this. You can't tell me that somehow the issue was brought up months ago, but both sides decided to completely ignore it until the final day both sides were working like mad to negotiate the deal despite knowing it could hold up everything. No, it's clear that these guys felt like they'd have the entire league, owners and players alike, over a barrel if they waited until now to pull this stunt. That's where my problem lies. It's one thing to want to get your piece, it's another to want it at the expense of everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I have come to the conclusion that one should take EVERYTHING that is written by a sports scribe witha grain of salt. I have also concluded that players/owners (and yes, ego's), generally speaking, can see the difference between the business end of football and real life.
