I love how calling whiney millionaires out makes me a lap dog for some imaginary entity known as the front office.

Whiners are whiners. These farging idiots need to keep their mouths shut. No one cares.

Why start the thread than?

Eh, my problem with this is not that he thinks he's worth more. Whether you're a professional athlete or a regular joe, we all believe we are worth more than we are paid. I feel I should get more at my job, don't you? I don't believe I've heard of any professional athlete ever say..."Wow, I just signed a contract where I'm totally getting more than I deserve." The only thing close maybe was when Alex Smith signed his deal w/the 49ers where if I remember correctly, I heard he made mention that it was "generous". I know you guys will know so help me here if I'm wrong.

My problem is that he's talking to the media where with them every look, sigh, and comment has a "negative" spin on it. It could be the most innocent comment in the world and of course as we all know and expect they will spin it. My question is how the FO feels about his comments. $:-\$

Good point.

We can call it whining and all that shtein, but any person who isn't happy about their pay at work will bitch and mope.(don't compare their salaries to regular Joes they're not) He has talent and a limited window to get paid like most Rbs. He saw the other RB deals and hired D-Macs agent trying to be a company guy, this still didn't work for him. He wants to cash in on his one big NFL contract. The team isn't ready to commit to him for that. So he's pissed and it will fester, I just hope he controls himself and doesn't TO. He still gets it done on Sunday and I hope they work it out.

I can't believe this idiotic farging thread is still active.

What's worse, I can't believe we haven't seen Jessie's ass in it yet!

Well, consider that remedied:

MadMarchHare · September 23, 2005, 02:38:45 PM

Therein lies the rub: Why is he pissed? As FF mentioned, someone will pay him, probably about what he wants. And as several people have mentioned, the athletes don't give a farg who pays them. So why get angry?

Sure, he could pull a Damon Moore, and miss his big payday, that's possible. If he were really worried about that, that 8MM SB should have been attractive enough. If he wants a higher salary than the Birds were offering, that isn't protection from injury.

So why get pissed and bitch and moan to the media? He'll get his payday. Go to work, keep your farging mouth shut, and play for the future.

Rome · September 23, 2005, 02:45:12 PM

But if his major concern is a big payday and not risking it, is he really going to go all out on the field?

Something's not right about this whole thing. I mean, the kind of money that the Eagles are supposedly offering would be enough for any of us to last two lifetimes on, so maybe it's a perspective thing that's confusing me.

If I were Westbrook and the Eagles offered me a check with two commas on it, I'd snag it in a heartbeat. But I'm not Westbrook and I don't have any frame of reference to compare his situation to. So instead of wringing my hands over it, I'll trust that the Eagles made him a fair offer, he'll play his ass off for the Eagles this year and then let next year take care of itself.

Maybe he knows that he's undersized and injury prone. Maybe he realizes that the Eagles are his best bet for stardom, overall success and a superbowl ring. Maybe he's just an idiot like most professional athletes. Who knows. Whatever it is, I wish he would shut up.
