Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

That's just crap. If these players would bank or invest their money instead of buying cars, houses, gold teeth, bling, and knocking up 8 women, they they too could reep the rewards of having money later in life.

Look at Carson Palmer. He has banked 80 million of his money so he can be in a position to say trade me or I retire. Then look at the likes of Ashawhatever who plays for the Jets, is flat broke, and can't even remember the names of all his bast ard kids. Pac Man at clubs "making it rain" while blowing his fortune, and trhe many other idiots who should have called an investment advisor insted of a call girl service.

Yes, more money needs put back into programs for retired players. Put all the fine money into a program for better benifits for those suffering from the effects of playing.

Some players blow their money and some are responsible with it. Why is that crap? It's their money and they can do whatever they want with it.

You sound like the typical NFL player hater... pick out 2 or 3 bad apples and slap that label on the rest of the NFL.

How do you even know Pac Man and Ashawhatever are broke? Most NFL players who talk about being broke are usually comfortable compared to the average American.

The article makes perfect sense.... we look at the players and think they are being greedy or should be happy they are making money but the owners? How dare we question the wealth of the owners?

So, first you comment without reading, then come back and add to your stupidity.

Look around and see how many insults I throw out. They are few, and warrented in your case.

Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

Felt, gotta agree with you here. I think most players save their money or are more responsible then perceived. there are some that blow it, but I think for the most part, they don't. I agree with the article. I have a real hard time feeling sorry for the owners. None of them get injured or end up with debilitating mental problems (other then al davis).

Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

Bryant McKinnie says he didn’t rack up a $100,000 bar tab

Posted by Mike Florio on March 3, 2011



Last month, TMZ reported that Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie racked up a $100,000 bar tab during an event held in conjunction with the NBA’s All-Star weekend.

Nearly two weeks after the fact, the large man who plays left tackle has denied that he dropped 100 large.

McKinnie tells Jeremy Fowler of the St. Paul Pioneer Press that the story was “exaggerated a lot.”

Specifically, McKinnie claims he was at a concert in L.A., and rapper Rick Ross gave McKinnie what the kids call a shout-out from the stage. Ross then said something about spending “$100,000 on bottles in the club.”

“All of a sudden that became my tab somehow,” McKinnie said. “Like seriously, at the time I was laughing thinking it was in good fun until people started talking about it and took it a little too far.”

That’s fine, but why did it take so long for McKinnie to speak up? Given that the news bolstered the notion that the players won’t have the money to survive a lockout, the union should have immediately launched an effort to get the truth out.

Or, at a minimum, McKinnie’s version of it.

The TMZ report cited sources who said more than 15 bottles of pricey champagne were purchased, including bottles of bubbly so large that the entire club stopped and watched as the wait staff brought the bottles to McKinnie’s area. So there’s a good chance that McKinnie’s version isn’t the truth.

Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

Very one-sided argument. It forgets to point out that the players make their millions on the back of those dastardly owners with their 4 houses, shetland ponies & helicopters.

And they do it without the obligation of spending their own money to make it back.

How many business' in the world are made to open their profit/loss statements to justify changes to the employees? None? So why should the NFL owners be forced to do that exact same thing?

The owners want to get richer huh? Well- send them straight to Hell for that. I'm sure all of curse the day the Rooneys learned how to make $10 out of a $4 investment...

Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

The point though is that their is already an agreement and owners are making hand over fist. Now they are just getting greedy and want more without showing WHY they should get it to help "grow" the NFL.

All the players are asking for his for proof that the owners need what they claim. The owners are causing this, not the players.

[Chadman]

Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

No Crash- the point of the article was the owners are rich bastards and Rick feels we should hate them for wanting more.


It says nothing about how the players are super keen to get back on the field with the money they currently make.

And also- why are we forgetting that the players union is asking for a share of the extra billion dollars not included currently in the owner/player split monies?

We all want to see an agreement, but to simply think the players are getting screwed over here & the owners are to blame is really just seeing things the way you want to see it- not seeing everything that's been reported.

Re: Rick Reily lets owners have it

The players want to play under the current deal.

The owners want an additional billion sliced off the top.

That's the issue here. There is only a problem because the owners opted out.
