Sheldon Brown wants to be traded

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, you admittedly have absolutely no idea but are going to assume that no one will step up, because it suits your point.

Who cares if the players are on Sheldon's side?  That is 1000% irrelevant to the issue.  That's like saying when all my kids decide they don't like broccoli, I don't have to make them eat it because obviously I'm in the wrong since more of my kids agree it's yucky than think it's yummy.

You, of all people, should know that when a majority of people think you are wrong, that doesn't necessarily make them right.  Hell, you spend 80% of your day on this board in the minority.  I guess that makes you wrong 80% of the time?

if you dont care that the locker room is unhappy then so be it...if you dont care that they lose sheldon and replce him with shtein to prove a point then so be it...seems like you care about winning as much as banner inc...i dont give a crap whose right or wrong i care that the team is alienating its best and most important players over pennies

So, you admittedly have absolutely no idea but are going to assume that no one will step up, because it suits your point.

i actually have a good idea...i dont know 100% tho...if you have a good idea as to who the leaders are on this team id love to hear it...or are you just blindly saying "someone" will step up

until i see something other than all the leaders leaving the team then im gonna lean towards a locker room that isnt where it should be...its not like they just lost dawk...if sheldon is gone and thats a big if thats FOUR big time veterans gone within months of each other...i dont even know what to say to someone who wouldnt be concerned with that at least a little

I doubt there's a single player in that locker room who is on management's side.  Not even Peters despite the fact he just got caked off last week.

Trust me - the guys who signed those long-term deals that Joey The Accountant sold them aren't.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Right, and all those players want Sheldon to get some money, so that they have a better argument to get theirs.

When does it stop?  Should the Eagles just proactively review every contract every off-season and be "nice" to the guys that might be slightly underpaid?  Mike Patterson needs a signing bonus to buy some more hamburgers and pot, people!  GET BUSY ON THE NEW CONTRACT!

I think FF hit IGY's argument right on.  Every player deserves as much money as makes them happy, so we don't have an unhappy locker room.  It's only fair - Laurie has billions, so he is supposed to share the wealth with the "less fortunate."

And no, I bet there isn't a single player on Banner's side.  Like when my boss tells the entire team we have to work overtime to get the last orders in and billed.  None of us are happy about it, and the company is making money while we aren't getting shtein for our time.  Obviously, we are correct, because we all agree.

it stops when a player that isnt deserving asks for huge money...it stops when youre at or over the cap...it doesnt stop when a guy who isnt making a lot doesnt want a lot and is deserving...and most importantly at a position where you absolutely cant afford to lose a starter...you have to be smart and pick and choose your spots...this is not a spot where they should be jerking around a player

the whole this opens a can of worms things doesnt play...did it open a can of worms when the eagles went to sheldon and reggie brown and gave them new deals?...why is ok for the eagles to re up people without having every other player want a new deal but when a player wants a new deal all of sudden the world is ending because all the players are gonna line up at banner inc offices for a hand out....big business hypocrisy at its finest

stop using the real world in comparison to pro sports...its such a silly meaningless cliche to pull at heart strings

players on the eagles and the actors on greys anatomy do not have a single thing in common with your 9-5 cubicle job

I don't think it's necessarily about MORE money.  I think Sheldon wanted more, sure, but he wanted his contract restructured so that more of the money that's left is guaranteed.  What's happened is Banner ignored him, passed him off like a punk to one of his underlings and Sheldon felt disrespected by the lack of personal attention.

Look, these guys are infants in that respect.  There's no getting around that but they have a point especially where the Eagles are concerned because they do business like mobbed up bullies for the most part.  There's a laundry list the length of Milton Berle's johnson of occasions when they've acted in a dishonorable way, and it's high time someone called them on their behavior.

I don't blame Sheldon one bit for doing what he did, but of course, that's just my opinion and it's worth nada, especially to the Eagles who've gleefully taken my season ticket money for decades.

So, it stopped when Sheldon asked.  No one has made a valid argument that he's deserved shtein.  The only arguments have been AGAINST the FO, not FOR Sheldon.

One of these things is not like the other.

no youre right, running a professional sports franchise has conceptually nothing to do with running a major corporation

the problem is youve been stuck in a cubicle too long killer, and havent come close to sniffing the business world thus youre reasoning for not being able to grasp such a logical concept is well understood...but keep trying to sell us all

Funny that a guy who doesn't have to worry about profit, business, and margins doesn't get that you just don't give money away because you have it.

It absolutely makes sense.  This isn't a game - it's a business for both sides.  It's a job.

even the eagles would admit that hes underpaid...thats not in question here...whether you think hes a top ten corner like some or the 20th best corner the fact is hes underpaid

the real question is why do so many people care about other peoples money...whether it be banner incs or sheldonsey...guarantee the guy some more money get him happy and on the field as an eagle...thats all that should matter to anyone...

the pettyness over what athletes make is astonishing

wait who has to worry about profit and margins???....the eagles?

are you actually insinuating that a team who is 30 million dollars under the salary cap cant give a player a few extra million bucks because of their profit margins...ahaha...thats the best one ive heard yet

Still? Really?
