Hasn't this player-agent bull.... gone a little too far? Shelby Jordan gets
this "real nice" contract agreement from the Pat's (no help from his agent),
all of a sudden his agent come back from vacation (or Mars or something) and
literally blows a decent deal for Shelby. $300,000 a year for a lineman isn't
peanuts (what he would have gotten), but he boo hoo'd a little too much, so now
he's playing for $180,000 and still owes the ball club $38,000 in fines!
If I were Jordan (or any pro athlete), I'd negotiate my own contract (with a
lawyer for legal purposes), and the hell with Slusher, Coleman and the rest of
those money hungry dolts!!!!!!!!!!

Well, chaulk one up for the player agents, the rumor in Boston is that Shelby
Jordan is on the trading block! And Jordan is making all kinds of noise about
the whole contract dispute.
The NFL has a 15 yard penalty for unnecessay roughness, maybe they should have
a penalty for "unnecessary negoitating"!!!
