fdarugar Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Why would he waste his last years in the NFL on that team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTalon Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Why would Emmit Smith go to the Cardinals? Why would Franco Harris go to the Seahawks? Senility? Too many concussions? I don't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueTalon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 You wanted him in Seattle to replace Hutch didnt you? I wouldve too. Me personally? Yes indeedy. As it is, our whole line is going to go through a shuffle. The only thing for sure is that Walter Jones will be LT, and either Tobeck or Spencer will be C. Everything else is undecided right now, and that makes me nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTalon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Players loyalties are decided by ... wait for it, wait for it, .... MONEY! That's it, that's the list. I think you're overlooking something. Famous stupid-player tricks include: Franco Harris refusing a very generous offer from the Steelers at the end of his carreer, and him turning it down because he thought he was worth more... and then ended up in Seattle after Curt Warner blew out an ACL, making far less money than he would have as a Steeler. Hutch knowingly signing the Vikings contract with the poison-pill clause intended to make it virtually impossible to match the offer, and ends up going to Minnesota where his $49M will shrink due to Minnesota state income tax (Washington doesn't have an income tax). I'm sure you can think of others. And I'm sure Emmit made less as a Cardinal than he would have if he'd stayed a Cowboy and just renegotiated his ocntract. So in addition to money, I think you have to mix in pride and stupidity in varying proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
