Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

[PhillyGirl]

I fully, 100% believe that the FO completely and utterly disregarded his agent's phone calls and dismissed them as non-important.

Because they weren't.  They were cutting a deal and making a contract for Jason Peters and preparing for the draft.

Oh, sorry...I'd like to believe that they could multi-task a bit better than that. Nice excuse, FO whore.

Sheldon Brown wants more guaranteed money with four years on his contract.  Call CNN.

[PhillyGirl]

You mean to tell me that the FO is too busy to give one of their longest tenured players a sit down meeting? Or even answer the farging phone when his agent calls?

[Rome]

The Eagles don't owe him a dime after 2009.  I don't know why people keep saying it's four years left.

The argument is ridiculous.  If the team is actually ignoring attempts to meet, well farg that's just hard to imagine.

But this is far from the first we've heard of this. This is the same shtein we hear year after year.

I know, I know.  And maybe it's really happening.  It's just so unbelievably unprofessional that I have a hard time wrapping my head around it.

I did too...after the first few years, I was still defending the FO. After Trotter, Hugh, etc....

But last year and even the year before, the pattern was too much. And this year after they let Dawkins go the way they did?

Its so unprofessional and wrong.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It's very possible.  But it sounds more like they were trying to placate him with underlings while Banner was working on other shtein, and Brown cried foul at a very, very inopportune time.

Anyway, it's awesome we're now discussing this in two threads.  I hope no one minds that I'm going to get another drink.

[Diomedes]

I badly want another drink myself, but it's time for my community association meeting at the local elementary school.  I'm bringing a flask to pull on while I'm in the bathroom having a smoke.

Post of the year.

igs, here's another quote from that day:

"There is a professional way to get it done. Brian [Westbrook] got something done without being a clown."

So any comments Sheldon made 7 months ago about being a professional don't apply to him because Rosenhaus isn't his agent?  He was great friends with Lito and hated how all of that contract bullsh** was being handled, but now he's doing the same thing himself...

the clown he is referring to is rosenpenis not lito...hes saying the agent shouldnt be out front and making a mockery of negotiations...does anyone even know the name of sheldons agent...sheldon is saying it  should be bwtn the player and the team...and thats exactly what sheldon has tried to do for almost a year now...get a face to face with banner inc. and for all that time they have been giving him the run around to the point where he is furious now and taking it to the next level...if was lito mouthing off last year sheldon wouldnt have had a problem...his beef was all about rosenpenis having his name in his mouth...it had nothing to do with lito and his contract beef

[Sgt PSN]

i guess one thread to talk about sheldon wasn't enough.  lol @ yous guys for having the same exact conversation in 2 different threads.  idiots.

Sheldon Brown is the new Jay Cutler

Damn right! Don't let the teacher fill you up with her rules even though everybody knows smoking ain't allowed in school
