ehh, different situations completely. in st louis, it was his last year and they were trying to get him re-signed. Jackson/Parker had all the leverage. In Buffalo its different, Peters still has 3 years left on his contract.
the REAL comparison that can be made is Jackson vs Evans...

How does the game call you fat?
when you first start it has you put in your measurements and then you stand on the Wii Fit platform and it calculates your ideal weight VS what you are at. so it is obviously a bit of an imperfect science. but it IS just a video game.

Let's not all get ahead of ourselves. We don't even know what we have yet.
Not that I'm not excited about things, also, but let's not start talking about 5-0 when we're only halfway through the preseason schedule.
no, you know what? LETS
if everyone else gets to come on and bash our players and coach, then we should be allowed at least ONE thread calling for 5-0.
GO! BILLS!

already updated sig!

I do love him. This definitely adds to it...I think its hilarious. I'm not one to pretend that Cal Berkeley recruits these kids to be pre-med...
no doubt. GO BILLS!

i dont know. how can you not love this kid?

agreed with OP
GO BILLS!!!!!

the more i watch the olympics the more i realize why some people in other countries dont like the US. the same reasons we hate the Patriots.
while we (americans) sit here like the Pat Fans and assume that everyone loves watching us win and look up to us as the example of how to do it.
meanwhile, the rest of the countries are just trying to make the playoffs for the first time in a decade...
lol

I bought my girlfriend a Wii cause she really wanted one, and the first thing she did was run out and buy a Wii fit, but now doesn't like it cause it called her fat. I have played it once since buying it for her, hopefully when we get our own place I will get to use the system more.
haha, yeah, we're still laughing at my friend that got called "obese". its fun for sure.
i assume you saw the famous "why every guy should buy his gf a wii fit" video??
in case you havent:
-
Why?
I just have to play my Nintendo Wii for a bit and use the Wii fit, theres my exercise there and no need to leave the house!
lol. i have both as well, and while it is cute, it is no way like a real work out.

I heard on the radio that he was diagnosed last Sunday and passed away today. If true, scary.
yep thats the story that is being reported. wow.

here is hoping for a joint chief union leadership headed by Drew Rosenhaus & Eugene Parker
did someone say "joint"?

If you look at the rest of Michael Phelps diet, it isn't considered healthy by the food nazis, but it hasn't hurt him at all.
LET PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES.
great point. i like how these people miss the even larger point that you can get away with eating such things as long as you are EXERCISING on a regular basis.
a little activity away from the computer/video games goes a long way.
everyone is just looking for an easy way out. "ill eat this 'healthy' cereal that tastes like cardboard and then sit on my ass for the rest of the day"

Troy Vincent?
saw that speculation as well. as good an answer as any i guess.
-
we are not allowed to speak casually to a one Mr. LabattBlue. There shall be NO references made to his glorious self in "commoner's" terms.
-
wow! this really throws a new spin on everything that is about to go on with the CBA.
who steps up and replaces him?
-
oh man! its coming up fast!
i fly back into buffalo two weeks from today...
GO BILLS!

seeing as how his complaint with the team is not that he wants to play a different position, and that he wants more money to be paid as one of the top LT's in the game, I doubt he would come running back to re-negotiate a contract as a FB, a position that would pay him roughly what he is making right now
i think thats his other point. but what do i know.
-
So they're spending their '08, '09, '10 first round picks on two tackles? Yeah, that seems about right.
Bill from NYC would...

and for all the crap he (deservedly) gets here, he is a heck of a Defensive Coordinator
-
i have a BINDER!
-
or one undrafted free agent...
(ok, now im just being argumentative
) -
i wouldnt call it a "trick" since they arent promising to renegotiate. that statement is merely saying, "if you want to have any chance at a new contract, since we hold 99% of the chips here, come to camp and we'll THINK about it"
going back to my point about year-to-year negotiating. it cant happen. and all Peters/Parker are doing is backing the team into a corner to prove that it wont. so fine, theyre not. now what? show up to work.

No one said you should feel sorry for him. It is people on your side of this calling him a greedy lazy bastard who should care more about the team than the financial security of his family. The only point I am making, that you still haven't addressed, is that he has just as much right to getting paid as much as he can for his services as you do. He doesn't play for a "team", he works for an employer, a business. It is no more his responsibility to take less pay than he is worth in the market than it is your responsibility to take a pay cut for the good of your employer/team. Maybe anyone who aspires to be more than a Joe Schmo is a fat greedy bastard to you but to those of us who are not socialist commies, I think he should get paid what he is worth.
If you want to end this arguement, just tell me how many times you have offered to take significantly less pay for the same job for the good of the "team". Peters is no different from any other player when it comes to securing the highest pay for his services. If you don't like it, go watch an intramural bowling league where they play for the pure love of the game...and beer.
ok, so in that line of thinking, we will renegotiate this year and sign him to a blockbuster deal. but IF and when he doesnt make the pro-bowl, then what? we get to renegotiate his contract and take him back down to the piddly $3million/year? so why bother signing a long term contract. lets just renegotiate EVERYONE based on their last season of play. oh wait, thats a ridiculous notion.
this is the same argument that has been going on since this new CBA went into place. this is NOT a year-by-year renegotiation plan. he signed a 5 year deal. he and his agent were too stupid to put in any clauses about Pro-Bowls and position changes for bonuses. he has completed TWO out of FIVE years of that deal, and now wants a new one?

Steven Jackson gets his contract

nor should they, and when he gets back the first and ONLY thing they should do is collect on those fines.
