SportsSaypian rant
SportsSaypian Maureen takes the podium:
To all the whiners about free agents in football, get over it. It's been that way for a long time now. Don't like it become a soccer fan (US soccer, not European, since they're mercenaries, too). Why should football players be any different than the rest of us? Don't we all go where we get paid the most? Don't companies lay us off when things get tough? Happens all the time.
What I love is that you hypocrites at the DMN were *****ing just a week ago that Jerry WASN'T doing enough in FA, while the Skins signed every player in sight (talk about mercenary--have you seen the contracts THOSE players got?!). Ditto for all the Cowboys fan boards -- they were aflame with anger & whining because the Boys hadn't signed anyone.
Now they're sniping that Jerry has signed people & paid them. Well, check out the contracts paid by other teams to mediocre players (which is what the majority of this year's FA crop was). Overall, the Boys have been far more sensible with their signings & what they're paying. Yes, TO is a jerk. Yes, he got $10 million for this year. But let's do a quick comparison between TO & Randle El (or any other WR on the market). Puhleeze.
For some reason, Jerry didn't want Vinatieri. So, that left us with, let's see, Vanderjagt--- or would you rather have brought Cundiff back again? Or maybe Cortez could shank a few more for us? (And may I point out that the team everyone idolizes -- the Pats -- were next in line to interview Vanderjagt; & that THEY were the ones who released Vinatieri instead of keeping him.)
