Mike Brown says it was all about the money for the players. DUH! It’s alwayas all about the money. What else is there?
“It came down to the obvious point that all the union cared about was the money and these other things certainly didn’t matter enough,” Brown said. “It’s a tremendous situation that they have and it has become burdensome for the teams. Yes, we’re asking for some relief going forward. I don’t think that was unreasonable.”
Really shows the owners’ heart: they feel the players have it too good.
Pat Bowlen offers to open his books. Irsay should make the same promise.
“If the league decides they want to open up the books of the Denver Broncos to present them to the union — I don’t know if the league is into identifying individual clubs because they’re private businesses,” Broncos COO Joe Ellis said on Saturday. “But with a neutral (auditor) to verify the fact that certain teams haven’t been operating as effectively as they did in the past, we’re a willing and able participant.”
The good news? NFLPA* executive director DeMaurice Smith’s public demand for audited financial statements apparently was, as it appeared to be, grandstanding.
