I think LVE needs to stop watching the news. Maybe he don’t realize what business he’s in?

Well don't cry when players hold teams hostage for new contracts, it works both ways. We see many folks crying when players holdout.

I’m an LVE fan but talk about a lack of awareness.

I think he needs a normal job.

I think you need to stop and think about what he's saying and who he's talking about. You're one of them.

This is a valid point. They are in the public eye and their salaries and actions are in full display, which opens them up to criticism or praise... it comes with the territory.

My only problem with it is athletes get it much worse than most other public figures because of the publics vested interest in the competitive environment and personal attachment to the team. This is evident in the fact that fans expect players to sacrifice their income for the good of the team.. nowhere does someone tell an employee they should take less so the organization can spread your portion of the income around. Fans see this singularly as a focus on team success, when in reality, it is employment first, team success second.

no one is stopping a player from getting what they can even if they think the player should take less. Plus it’s not just fans. It’s media, coaches, scouts on and on it goes. Athletes are analyzed and critiqued beginning at the high school level. And if they’re good enough to go through college and the pros, that criticism is part of what they signed up for.

No it's not the same on the other hand players form tight bonds with each other so I do understand. Fans make all of this personal as if Jaylon peed in their Wheaties. For the players they form close tie that remain over the years even when a player is cut or leaves via FA.

I haven’t seen anyone make this personal.

People cheer for players who do good and don’t like players who do bad.

When you take up a bigger percentage of the cap and you’re playing bad then yes people are going to call that out.

Dallas just made a move that the fans knew last year needed to be made.

Come on LVE this is weak dude.

hmm hmm clearing my throat. LVE..BECAUSE YOU GUYS GET PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PLAY A KIDS GAME!!! THAT IS WHY! and we fund it. Hey LVE..do YOU fund my job? NO? I didn't think so. We essentially pay your salary buddy..so suck it up. We will praise you just as well as be critical. Thats how this social media thing works. If you cannot handle criticism HERE...bud, you are in the wrong profession. Life aint fair.

Yep. While I wish no ill-will towards Jaylon the person, I'm not sad that Jaylon the player was let go.

I get it, it sucks. Earlier this year the guy who was my mentor left the company we worked at, and the only guy I mentored last day is this Friday.

But I still got a job to do. I'm just glad that my job is not high profile and I don't have to hear how either one of those guys "sucked" or was "terrible at their job". That would irritate me, to say the least.

Sounds like LVE needs a dose of reality. Maybe he's forgotten that there is one single purpose for his job, entertain NFL fans for 3 hours a week for roughly 5 months a year. In return, we the fans dump so much money into the league that it can pay him an exorbitant amount of money. I think his skin could be a little thicker if fans want to vent. If the NFL went away tomorrow, the world would move on without missing a beat.

Someone wants to criticize a DR or a teacher, fine he may have an argument.

well said. He sounds entitled.

Michael Irvin had a similar response to the news, joining 105.3 The Fan's Shan & RJ on Wednesday morning to express his surprise and that he was "hurt" over Smith's release.


"I was absolutely surprised, it was shocking," Irvin said, who found out about the release while recording a podcast with Trevon Diggs. "When we got the news... he (Diggs) went silent. He went dead silent.

"...I was shocked, and he was like, 'Man, Jaylon, that was one of the guys that took me in and everything.' And what Jaylon meant to him and everything, and how difficult that is. And guys in that locker room, they loved Jaylon.

"...It's a great story. It really is, it's such an inspiring story. And having guys like Jaylon on your team that have overcome things, I think that's very important. It just didn't work out."

Others reacted similarly to Bryant and Irvin, with a mix of surprise and understanding of the move.

Some act as if these guys are robots or some figure in a madden video game but they are real people with real feelings and emotions. LVE standing up for one of his guys may anger some, I'm sure you can get over it.
