Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Michael Silver writes a headlining story destroying Jerry Richardson's character. Front page of Yahoo Sports.

Pretty crazy stuff, fresh off the old presser. Should probably be front paged-- very controversial words by Silver every Panther fan should read surrounding the Labor talks.

If the public sees him as awful, no star player will want to sign with us

Star players aren’t exactly chomping at the bit to sign in Carolina anyways. We build through the draft and sign solid talent in FA to fill in the rest. Nothing will change.

Hahaha.

Silver got chumped by various NFL players. Of course the players want him away from the negotiating table. They want to rob the NFL for all it’s worth!

Pat got chumped. He got absolutely chumped. And you don’t have to believe me, you can take it from the horses mouth!

"Well, I mean, this is all I can say is, yeah, I was in that meeting and obviously anytime there’s negotiations I think there’s some back and forth to those,’’ Brees said. "And I wouldn’t say that things were disrespectful but what I would say is that there’s are a lot of issues to get through and we’re obviously not going to agree on everything and so it’s a process and there are a lot of things to consider here. So hopefully we can continue to make progress here from now until that March 4th date. I think we’re all hopeful that a deal will get done but if it doesn’t then we will deal with that." -Drew Brees

That’s a contrary report to someone who was actually there and listening to the meetings. And realize that even though Peyton Manning has been perceived to have been ‘insulted,’ he has not come out and made any statements on how he was insulted? If Peyton Manning was insulted, don’t you think he would let someone know about it?

This is just the Status Quo: players trying to make a big deal about something so that they are perceived to be persecuted and get someone who is hindering their objectives out of the room. They do not fool the Revshawn. I support Jerry Richardson.

So, Silver expects JR to just sit there with a smile on his face, being happy he’s still alive, and allow the players to rob him blind?

Brees said “all we want you to do is show us your books… we want to bargain in good faith”…

The NFLPA is sabre rattling about boycotting the combine (like that’s going to hurt them at all)…

I like JR’s comment to the players “you’ve made enough money in three years to own your own damn team”… and they want more…

The current model isn’t going to hold up. Pure and simple, the league can’t support the financial aspect of it without continued growth.

Bring on the lockout. I’ve got to wash my car.

Thanks for the link Mike, but I'm not going to front page this

I see no need to give Michael Silver’s consistently pointless, hate filled drivel any more play than he already gets.

His vendetta against Jerry Richardson now rivals Mike Florio’s with Steve Smith, and really his op-ed on this is based solely on Jason Cole’s article with little new or refresing to offer.

As for the claim that no-one will want to sign with Carolina… I’ll quote Darin Gantt:

Been asked, and I’m not sure there’s a long-range impact. If JJR waves money at players, players will come. They sign with Oakland annually.

Gantt's quote pretty much sums it up.

Players want one thing: money. It doesn’t really matter where it comes from, so long as they get plenty of it. We have nothing to worry about in terms of signing free agents except for whether or not JR will offer money to premier free agents.

Very true, screw Michael Silver

did someone take a dump in his coffee when he visited Charlotte?

I hate to think that JR was being a grouch

but it does sound like something he’d do… I give the slight benefit of the doubt to JR but Michael Silver is a good author with good connections, don’t disregard him just because he has something bad to say about someone we love
