    Eric "Graham Crackers Knees" Gordon should shut his mouth and thank his lucky stars any GM gave him that bloated contract.

    No doubt. Who hasn't been lied to by a boss? Deal with it, and $60 million would make it easy to not care about what some GM tells you. Gordon seems to be a bit of a headcase. Why worry about such things?

    Ironic when players complain about how this works. Yet, when players leave a their current teams, they say they are sad to move on, thank the previous organization, then acknowledge it's ultimately a business and they had to do what's right for their family. So management isn't supposed to operate the same way? Even more ironic coming from an injury-prone player that has only scratched the surface of his potential and may break down before doing much more with his career, but has the big money in the bank, with a contract he may never fully earn.

    yep, and that works for me, players always look out for themselves and a GM has to do the same for the franchise.

    Isn't it widely believed that EG is sandbagging it and lying about injuries in New Orleans to get out of there because he wanted to be in Phoenix?

    Glad to hear that you flip-flopped on Benghazi. In some matters like war, the first response is usually a lie.
