Twitter: Chris "Mad Dog" Russo tells the truth on Randy Gregory

[Risen Star]

So Mad Dog is ok if his radio station agrees to a contract with him in principle than at the last moment tries to squeeze in some language that was never discussed prior and that could potentially null/void his contract. Meanwhile a competitor station offers the same contract with no such clauses and we are supposed to believe he doesn’t bail? What a crock of donkey manure.

Broncos fan.

Im going by reports the contract language in question was somehow not made known to Gregory's agent until after the agreement was in place. But I haven't had time to read all of the updates since the initial tweets hours ago.

That’s what’s being reported and the language was team protection in case of suspension. Here’s the thing, if the team felt like they needed that language, they probably shouldn’t be signing that player.

He's right. I'm thrilled he did it but Gregory is a POS.

Love that micro glass reading all 50 pages. LOL

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Randy wanted OUT of the Circus.......nothing wrong with that.
He owns Jerry squat remember folks it's a business that's why our stars asked for the Moon and got their massive paychecks!!
Let the cash cows of our team finally earn a paycheck!!!

I dont care bout him anymore.i feel bad for Jerry though who went above and beyond to help Gregory out and he backstabbed him at the first chance he got.

Eh, not really. Jerry tried to recoup on his draft pick investment. He really didn't do anything other than not cut him.

 

[Reid1boys]

Easily replaced. Nothing to see here.

Denver paid him 5 years 70 million? so you think players making 70 million are "Easily replaced?"

Weed is legal in Colorado.

Good for him but glad he's gone. Not a player that lifts his teammates, way too selfish.

Let’s see how he plays at home since it is legal, night before games will be wide open in his hotel room. People now will be saying, “you smell that”.

I don't feel bad for Jerry at all. Loyalty isn't really a thing in the NFL. Owners cut players at the drop of a hat, and players take the biggest contract they can get.

That's the nature of the business, and that's precisely why GMs shouldn't emotionally invest in their players.

BS....they gave him a new deal WHILE he was suspended to keep paying him. Jerry went above and beyond.

You feel bad for Jerry? Man he's done far worse. I could never feel bad for him he's put this fanbase through crap for 25 years.

 

[Reid1boys]

Mad dog is a moron. He and Mike Francesca predate Skip Bayless, Stephen a Smith, and all the other idiots that like to yell into a mike about sports.

These shows are for stupid people that don’t have their own opinions.

yawn

 

[Sarge]

This ought to be a lesson to Jerry not to coddle to any player………..but………he won’t learn a thing from it.

….when one deals with a player of low character the ending is predictable and inevitable

 

[charron]

If after so many years you have to play the what if game to figure out what a player might do over a 16 and now 17 game season they are not worth 70 million and certainly won't be around for another 5 years. Let him go. Be glad they didn't overspend for him, and wish him farewell. Good luck to you in mile high Randy.

“Microphone glass?”

Looking at your name, IM assuming Calpoly taught you hw to use context clues. Listening very carefully to his word choices before and after Microphone glass, and knowing a radio guy that is talking fast, and knowing these guys sometimes say the wrong word from what they meant.... IM going to go way out on a limb here, and I know it is a stretch and all..... but lets try this and see how it works. I bet, just maybe, he meant to say "Magnifying glass." Now I didnt go to Harvard, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.... and Im thinking that was it.

That’s false. He agreed. Stephen tried to change the language to protect Dallas and he said no thanks.

No language change and he is still in Dallas

 

[Rayman70]

Yes Randy shares sum blame as well. True. But the shady nature of what went down falls on Stephen. What makes it worse is we were told that there wasnt another offer on the table, but all along Denver was sitting there waiting for Stevie 2 screw the pooch.

I would love to know how to "Easily Replace" Gregory?
