I wouldn't be able to stand this kind of scrutiny. Respectable anonymity is a glorious thing.

We should probably have a smiley of Mike Ashley in stereotypical French beret, mustache, and scarf a la: http://i.imgur.com/fRwNBuC.jpg

at the thread title!

Around the clock "news" coverage gets to be a bit much sometimes. This story is one of those things I think I'd be better off just learning at the end rather than as it happens and without full info.

If he has a good reason that people could at least understand, even if not fully supporting his decision, you'd think he'd at least allude to it while keeping details private. Just a really weird situation.

Well it is a conservative paper.

If there is any potentially sympathetic reason for him wanting out, he should have made it publicly known a while ago. The fact he hasn't made it known screams that there is no sympathetic reason. I'm not counting knocking up a ho as a sympathetic reason.

I haven't been this excited since yesterday!

I wish the Walton family knew that.

My first ever award nomination. Seriously, Wegmans is for yuppie scum.

Wegmans is horrible.

I don't much care if he's upset that he has to stay. It's what he signed up for. He'd best play and give his all.

Could be worse, I guess. Something like "Where's our WHITE POWER?!"

This thread again.

Not even close

It's your 31st birthday, Colo. Time to be a man and do your job.

Yeah, no doubt. He's honoring his contract by coming to the games and training. So we can leave it here, and wonder if we're getting 100 percent from a guy that wants to leave when we can't afford to wonder that, or we can thank him for the years and get the best deal and move on. No need to hate, no feeling betrayed. Just a stoic acceptance that our passion is a business. What he's asking for is nowhere close to the best financial deal for both parties. That's probably why he's still here (<- not sarcasm, or passive aggressive. Looks dickish.). Get a replacement in and sort it out before the end of the window, or get a replacement in and use him when you have to. I get it, but it just goes along with how far pro sports are removed from the real world. Employees running the show. Can't ask an athlete to have any loyalty when he knows that the second he loses too many steps he's out on his ass. Get the best deal you can get for yourself, and the hell with the rest. No loyalty coming from the top, why have any loyalty for them? I'd agree loyalty from either side shouldn't be expected, but living up to your agreements should be expected.
