ESPN.com: Report: Upshaw critic thinks threat real (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2893714)
He is reported as saying that he would "...break his ***damn neck"
WTF is that. Goodell needs to do something about this. If he is so worried about the NFL's image he should drop the hammer on upshaw like he has with the players.

It just shows upshaws true colors, he's a NO CLASS piece of shit. They need to get this guy out of there, and to make a comment like that. They sure do have great union leadership......NOT!
I'm quite sure the COMMISH will at least be having a talk with this TARD.

he is way out of line. being one of those old retired players, he should probably reconsider his position. and good morning gigitty

His comments are inexcusable no doubt, but people are riding him a bit hard, in my opinion. He's the leader of the NFL PA. This is the union for CURRENT PLAYERS. If you want to see more support to NFL vets, go tell current players to give up money and see what happens. Upshaw has said multiple times his job is to work for the current players and would love to do something for the retirees, but if the current players don't want it, it will not happen.

daseal, as a former teamster, i hear what you are saying. but that doesn't excuse these threats he continues to make. I'm sure if he went to todays players with some sort of helping hand proposal towards the old guys, it wouldn't be a problem. remember, there is a whole lot of money involved. and if Upshaw wasn't the head on the nflpa, he would be on the other side of the issue

I think Goodell said it wasn't his place to get involved. Which I guess theoretically is true because Upshaw doesn't report to Goodell (the same way that Clinton does for example).

he is definitely all about the money. too bad him and Dellamillaure(sp?) cant put the pads on and settle it like that. how funny would that be?
