You're sitting in the bar, and there's the guy at the end of the bar, and he says, first of all, I would play this game for free, D, if I could.
And my response to that was always, you can't play.
And the second thing is, well, why should we pay these guys, you know, and give them contracts, you know, if their quality might decline?
And somebody always says Jamarcus Russell.
I mean, always.
And I always respond this way.
My guys take a job where they are well-paid and they have a union that protects them.
And yes, they get 50 cents on every dollar that they generate.
But their job means that they're standing in oncoming traffic and getting hit by cars and buses.
And when they break their legs or when they have concussions or when they unfortunately might develop CTE, none of that is a f***ing accident.
It's a deliberate and necessary job consequence of their job duties.
So would you want your son or daughter, if they made a decision that their job duties were to stand and get hit by oncoming traffic, what kind of contract would you want them to have?
Would you want them to have a contract where even though the player is taking all of the risk, the owner gets the reward?
Or do you want them to have a contract that is commensurate with the risk that they are taking?
Fast forward to Deshaun Watson.
He gets a fully guaranteed contract.
And then what happens?
These three guys do not.
First of all, everybody should now understand if I had some evidence of collusion, I'm filing that for those three players.
Collusion is so important.
