Owners come to defense of Panthers' Richardson

[The Saltman]

Its also silly to assume that he wouldnt be able to understand a revenue statement.

[CatMan72]

So you're not now. For gods sakes at least be consistent. I mean not all of us are $12 billion country dumb TE's.

I can understand why the NFL doesn't want to bother going down that path, they know the NFLPA will just call the legitimacy of the books in question if they don't like what they see.

But that's not what we're talking about, we're talking about guys like Manning and Brees challenging JR on the revenue figures the NFL is reporting and JR questioning whether or not Manning and Brees understand how to read a revenue report, and general questions and doubts about JR business acumen.

man this CBA talk turns everyone in a jr accountant.....

No, actually most people can't fully understand a complex revenue statement.

Same here.

Well maybe the owners and players all need to stay at a holiday Inn Express so they can all understand the damn financials and straighten things out.

I feel if you are upset at the way JR allegedly spoke to Peyton then I would suggest not venturing too high up the corporate ladder, you dont have the balls for it.

Need a hug?

I couldn't care less. If him talking to Manning like that means we get football in the fall by all means.

and yes.

Actually I have been in some contentious contract negotiations and they always go downhill quickly when the rhetoric resorts to personal attacks and namecalling. It can surely gets heated but always works better wheb both sides remain respectful toward the others. Even when you bend them over it is fine to whisper sweet nothings as you go.

As for what was actually said, I don't know since I wasn't there and sone of the most vocal critics weren't there either

[Zod]

Exactly, We have no idea what was said and how it was said. The players who were actually in the meeting have said nothing. The owners have said nothing. The only ones spouting off are the players assigned with getting their voice to the media.

I bet money if a youtube video came out of the alleged "insult" we would all shake our heads and ask "THAT was it?"

[Carolina Husker]

So at the very least we can all agree that Jerry is losing the PR battle again.

[Zod]

Sure, the PR battle he is losing.

He is winning the battle that matters.

Think the NFLPA would like to switch winning battles with him?

You betcha.
