NFL Holdouts and Contract Disputes

Shawne Merriman is still holding out from training camp even with rumors flying around that a contract has been agreed upon, full article on CBS. As a fan of the Chargers its hard for me to look at these overpaid cry babies fussing about not making enough money, especially when it’s Shawne “MTV” Merriman! He didn’t do crap for the Chargers last year and now is asking for more money…? Tell him to take a leap, same goes for Jackson. Vincent Jackson is out for suspension the first 3 games of the year for a DUI from last year. Combine that with his bad attitude on and off the field and I wonder why he thinks he is in any position to hold out for more money. Its worse this year than years past from what I remember and it is starting to take away from the game for me. Darelle Revis from the Jets is one of if not the best defensive back in the NFL and he is possibly going to miss the entire year because the Jets didn’t make him the highest paid player in his position. What happened to people honoring their contracts and playing football? It makes me sick to see the way the league has gone and think they need to do something about it soon. Can’t wait for college football to start, Go Hawkeyes!!!
