For evidence look at the length of contract negotiations that teams have had with high draft picks recently for evidence. It has Bern the case that early draft picks have ceased to be much of a bonus given the huge contracts that come with them. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 This just in, James Harrison is ALSO a moron.Soon as I saw "devil" was among his shots at Goodell, I knew he was gonna play the race card...and, I was right. He throws a gay slur in for good measure, but in particularly perplexing fashion calls Goodell both a puppet and a dictator? How can he be both?Anyway, this guy's covering all the bases by shredding his commissioner, teammates and others around the league. Is he trying to be exiled from the NFL?

FiddySicks Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 There isn't a player in sports I hate more than James Harrison. The guy is such a selfish idiot with zero perspective when it comes to how lucky he is to be making millions playing professional football. Some of the garbage that has come out of that fool's mouth over the years is absolutely unbelieveable. I hope that moron gets fined bigger than he ever has and suspended for this. What a worthless POS. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I happen to be one of the people who cannot stand Troy Polamalu and feel like he's one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. After seeing this play live I never liked him: (I won't show the video here because of the title but the link.

DustDevil61 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Well, looks like Drew Brees is a bit too optimistic...Sources: Not So Fast, DrewThis NFL labor deal has been up one day, and down the next, and then the weekend comes and it starts all over again. I'm still confident that the regular season will be fine, but I'm now getting doubtful about the early preseason. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 If the deal is reached Thursday, teams will have a 72-hour window (22-25) Where they'll be allowed to resign their impending Free Agents.
