Peyton Manning Needs That $60K

Oh, hey AofG. What's up. I've been blocked from GMail, Zuckerbook, and all the other popular websites at work, so it may be time to get back into this whole typing words thing. I doubt it will hold as I'm lazy and was kinda liking the brevity offered by FB status lines, but we'll see. A playa can't be on them spreadsheets all day without a little break, naw-mean?

Anyway, as you may have heard, the NFL's got some labor strife going on right now. And it's the kind of strife that we care about, not that stupid stuff going on over on top of Africa. That ain't gonna affect the Super Bowl. Ohhhhh, Khadafi's a dictator. He's killing his own people. Too bad...the National Guard has already been deployed because the BRONCOS ARE KILLING THE PATRIOTS!

So, in preparation for the possible (and now actual) lockout, the NFLPA (while it existed) created a lockout fund with the dues it collected from its players. Or something like that. It came out to about $60,000 per player, which is crazy because damn thems be some serious dues. There had to be something else there, too. Maybe they had Antonio Cromartie donate sperm on the side.

Anyway, now the time has come to pay out from that lockout fund. And a rich motherfucker by the name of Demarcus Ware, he of a fresh $79 million contract ($20 mil of that in one chunk for the signing bonus) has decided that he doesn't need this pittance and maybe it should go to some of the lesser ballin' players who took their $50,000 bonus and immediate bought Range Rovers (and it looks like the money came from withheld licensing fees as well...cool). From that article:

 

Other players who have cashed in — including the three big-name quarterbacks whose names have been attached to the antritrust lawsuit that goes to mediation today — should donate that money to help younger players who truly need the money.

 

So Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning took their money. Tom Brady, a guy who took less than he could get on the open market to allow the Patriots to build around him (a foreign stance to Mr. Manning), really has a use for this money? Sure, they've earned it because they contributed to it, but...why? These young role players (and Dez Bryant) are going to be broke in about three months. How are you gonna hold strong against a lockout when your entire kickoff team can barely afford to eat? What's Brandon Marshall going to do with $60K? How many laywers does Big Ben still need to pay off that this money's gonna find good use?

These guys need to be team players (e.g. communists) or there's no way that they're gonna last. Hell, Dez was broke even when he was getting paid. Then again, maybe some starve-time's just what he needs.

Does this make D-Ware a communist, socialist, or facist? Those lines are so fucking blurry these days.

Good for him, though.

Does this make D-Ware a communist, socialist, or facist?

He gave back $60k, but kept the $20mm. He's more like a guy who tells the clerk at 7-11, "it's ok. Keep the change."

[Peyton Newman]

He made the $20 mil by being better than everybody else. I'd say he shouldn't have to loan that out to Dez. But I think the $60K thing is a good gesture and that the QBs should have done the same thing. The f does Drew Brees need lockout petty cash for?

[DSafetyGuy]

The thing that confused me when I originally saw this snippet at its source was if "cashed in" meant the quarterbacks cashed in by collecting the 60K in lockout money or if the quarterbacks cashed in like Ware, meaning signed a giant contract and don't need/didn't take the 60K.

[Newman]

DSafe, I think you are correct and I definitely read it wrong.

[Assman]

My only guess as to why the QBs collected that money would be that it might be a condition of the anti-trust lawsuits they're filing. Or they're too rich to even notice.

I truly doubt that those guys are going to let their offensive linemen miss any meals during this lockout.

[Mr. Kruger]

Maybe they can take money and buy everyone more pink slippers for next year's charity.
