Is there a difference between what Manning did and what Owen's is doing
to the Eagles right now? Other than the fact that Owen's already agreed
to contract terms, isn't he still trying to get the best possible deal
for himself, based on his perception of his contribution to the team?
I don't like what Terrell Owens is doing with his attempt to reneogiate a brand new, $49 million dollar contract.
I don't like what Eli did to the Chargers, although by doing so he inadvertently gave Drew Brees an opportunity.
I don't like Favre giving away the sack, not to beat a dead horse again
but it was at the expense of his linemen, his teammates.
I don't like what Ricky Williams did to the Dolphins, either, and its
ludicrous that they even considered the possibility of accepting him
back on the team!
We could go on and on, there is no end to these type of situations in
the NFL or pro-sports in general. I don't want to excuse white
players for behavior that we find unacceptable in black players, the
same way I do not accept the myriad excuses proffered on the behalf of
black players for miscreant behavior, either.
If you call it straight every time, black brown red or white, you can't go wrong.
EDITED TO ADD: And I don't want to see anybody's career ended deliberately, either. Eli's or anyone elses.
