Slight problem.. because the millionaires and the billionaires can't figure out how to effectively split 9 billion plus dollars a year, continue to feed their families, expand the benefits for the retired players and grow the game to increase that number even further, we can't get him into camp to run him through some drills and get a feel for his abilities.. how are we going to make a decision in this offseason of whether he can or can't block so we know how to handle the contract situation of Brandon.
Sorry.. the honeymoon of the draft has dissipated and the bleak picture both of the parties have put us, the fans and ultimately the cash flow of the league, and I will continue to get hung up on the utter greed [strike]of the [/strike]that business principles have displayed the past 18 months or so.
And it effects every aspect of the game, the players and the teams of this game in so many different way.. even as simple as spring camp to allow the coaches to run the newbies through drills and help start to paint the roster the will be brought to training camp.
