Man, he is getting paid well for a MLB.

And all for a guy who just had surgery on his neck and has a bad back that really nothing can be done for. Yeah. The Chicago Bears Linebacking core...the most selfish, self-centered and spoiled group in the NFL.

But then again, with all the kids these guys are fathering, they probably need all the $$$ they can come up with.

I wonder if there's another team with more money tied up in linebackers.

When's Triple H due for a new deal?

So he's taking a paycut in 2012? Not that it matters...he'll demand a new deal by 2010.

"well, yeah, when I did my deal 2 years ago in 2008, the cap was like $118mil... It's $130mil now so... I know the money is there... it's only fair."

My cap for aging selfish players has lowered.

It actually does annoy me. These fuckers sign long term deals which are lucrative at the time...but then demand to be re-upped later. If that's what you want, sign a short term higher pay contract. It's not like the money is guaranteed in the NFL anyway (the NFLPA is the weakest union of the major sports).

Is the kid signed? Williams? He fucking better be practicing when I get there.

Remember what he said...he doesn't know the meaning of 'HOLD OUT'.
