With what is said to be the worst benefits of any professional sports league the NFL players are determined to make a difference by gathering to discuss a marketing initiative in a first time Independent Retired Players Summit.
“It’s not going to be a legal entity,” said Bob Grant, retired linebacker of the Baltimore Colts and Washington Redskins in the late 1960s and early ’70s. “It’s not going to be a situation where we’ve got somebody running around who’s president and trying to be a very important man. We want to keep it absolutely as democratic as we possibly can.
Coming on the same weekend as the NFLPA held Retired Players Convention ‘preventing’ NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith from being able to attend and participate in a chance for these retired players to ensure a better future for all NFL retirees.
What happened to the class act. The NFL may soon find out what a bunch of melodramatic idiots can do to a sport like the NBA has. Between Ocho - please shut the hell up and talk to much - TO the NFL does not need another act in its repertoire of class action lawsuits and felons.
When your team is down and out and things don’t go the way you planned, you could always fake paralysis. I guess looking like an idiot when your called out for faking just to ruin a voctors celebration is enough for Baltimore Ravens‘ Willis McGahee.
“And oh, yeah, that stretcher was a nice touch. It’s like he planned how he could make himself the center of attention,” Pittsburgh’s safety Troy Polamalu said as he vowed never to forgive McGahee for trying to take away from the Steelers’ victory.
I suppose that when you sustain an injury like that it is nothing a few asprin can’t remedy as Pittsburgh emergency-room doctors had reported as apposed to the usual perscribed pain killers in the event sever neck pain actually occurs.
“Sometimes you have to step back to step forward in a positive way and Donovan will do that,” coach Andy Reid said in a positive light after benching Donovan McNabb half way through Sundays loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
“This has nothing to do with Kolb’s performance or Donovan’s performance.” he reaffirmed. McNabb will remain the starter, for now, and when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night it will be the beginning of what coach Reid hopes to be a posative step forward.
The Eagles are again on the verge of missing hte playoffs for the third time since losing the 2005 super bowl and despite McNabb remaining the starting quarterback, Reid felt that at the time second-year pro Kevin Kolb appeared a better option after a dismal half for McNabb even though they only trailed 10-7 and ultimetly losing 36-7. I am sure that numbers don’t show that the decision paid off but time will tell as a coaches decisions always reflectdirectly on their apparent abilities, whether good or bad.
