And maybe, just maybe, yours truly will get to attend the affair due to yet another birthday. A birthday present to see my Boys try to keep the string going against the Skins. Should be fun, but nothing is ever guaranteed in the NFL. It certainly isn't out of the realm of possibilities that the Redskins take advantage of the Cowboys being on cloud 9 after the San Diego game.<br><br>By the way, you and I are on the same page rooting for Tony Stewart. It is difficult for me to root for Tony knowing that Joe Gibbs is his boss, but oh well, as long as Tony wins and the Skins lose, I'm ok with that.<br><br>Lew<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021833364511301475.post-41451488076266405372005-09-13T15:01:00.000-04:002005-09-13T15:01:00.000-04:00Don't forget, it's a Monday Night DOUBLE HEADER!!!...Don't forget, it's a Monday Night DOUBLE HEADER!!!!

So when 2006 rolls around, remember this when someone making far under market value wants to redo his deal."<br><br>Point taken in Walker's case. The most difficult thing in this past off season was putting up with guys like T.O. who ridiculously wanted a new deal. However, you can't tell one guy he's justifiably wrong and out of line for wanting to redo nearly 50 mil (T.O.), and then turn around and give a guy like Walker or Hines Ward a new contract even though they really do deserve it. There can't be that double standard looming around - someone has to step up and tell it like its going to be. But you are right, guys like Walker and Hines Ward do deserve to be paid among the top, unfortunately for them, guys like T.O. (especially this offseason) will never help them with their case. The reality is, all of these guys know what the rules are and what can happen and what is allowed to happen before they sign the dotted line. But I do agree with your point - and hell I was one of the people that was saying the Walker needs to show up at camp and play out his contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021833364511301475.post-6608686603261832562005-09-14T01:43:00.000-04:002005-09-14T01:43:00.000-04:00I think the key part of my take on that was "...I think the key part of my take on that was "making far under market value". Owens was making market value...and got a nice signing bonus to do so. <br><br>In fact...Owens got EXACTLY what he wanted except for one teeny thing. In 2004, his agent missed the deadline for voiding his contract...making TO a Niner. San Fran dealt him to Baltimore...Owens complained and whined...the NFL buckled and recinded the trade....and Owens was dealt to the Eagles [who he had made a deal with while he was a Niner as he figured he'd be a free agent]. In 2004...HE signed the 7-yr $42M deal that gave him a $10M signing bonus. Then, one year later...he wants to redo his deal. Garbage!<br><br>Javon Walker is one of the best WRs in the game...and his base salary is $515K. He had to strike while the iron was hot. Same thing with Antonio Gates who is making just over $300K. I normally hate when players whine about their contracts....but in the NFL, nothing is guaranteed.<br><br>-Sportz<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
