All of this is a joke to me, millionaires suing billionaires. I see where Manning, Brady and Brees are suing the NFL. Shouldn't the players that should be suing the ones who dont get the big contracts. Cry me a River NFL players. How about you save your money and have a good investment plan. I am sick of hearing that you players but your body on the line and take all the risk. We have members of the U.S. military that put there life on the lines and put there bodies on the line.

The NFL minimum in 2010 was 355,000. Most people would love to make that much in 7 years let alone 1 year as a bench warmer.

I think both of you need to read my post #314. Stop comparing this to some normal business. It's not. It's not even remotely close and you know why? Because they are the business and they aren't replaceable. You (and I) are so we'll never have that leverage.

Let me explain something. If you had a talent that couldn't be duplicated in the world and your job made BILLIONS off of you and they tried to short change you, what would you do? Would you take their word on it that their profit margins were declining. Mind you, you have made this company rich beyond it's wildest imagination. My guess is no you would not. You'd demand to see proof or you'd walk away and take your talent elsewhere.

Can you replace the Rolling Stones? No.
Can you replace Jimmie Johnson(nascar)? No.
Can you replace Peyton Manning? No.
Can you replace Joe the Plumber? Yes.
Can you replace Dale the lawyer? Yes.
Can you replace Chris Johnson? No.
Can you replace Kanye West? No.


See. The average joes (you and i) dont' have that luxury, they do. Stop comparing your trade (or employer) to theirs.
