so I have to ask pan, you feel the same way about Hines Ward right? He too is holding out for a new deal breach of contract done for the season with TO and see you next season?
The updates on the TO story do make it a bit more interesting, was the autograph signing a mandatory thing or voluntary? The media does have a bone to pick with him no doubt, but I also see both sides of it and he brings most of the shit upon himself.

ANY player in any sport that signs a contract and refuses to live up to it (i.e. autograph signings, public appearances, MONEY, whatever), should be held in breach of contract and suspended for 1 year.
I am tired of these multi-millionaire asshole players getting away with BS and it's time the owners stand up and put thye smack down.
If I did this shit at my job, I'd be fired and blackballed from my business. Hell, I've been fired for less when I was younger.
I'm just tired of hearing and reading crap about players holding out for more money, demanding trades, crying about the fan treatment, not showing up at public events, basically not living up to their contractual obligations.
It's BS. If the player cannot honor their contractual obligations, obligations they knew they would have before signing the contract.... they should be fined and suspended and the league should uphold the suspension and not say a word.
Then the league should take away the agent's licensure to negotiate in that sport. I don't care how many other clients that agent has, if Rosenhaus allows (and probably supports) TO to not live up to his contract then he is aiding and abetting illegal behavior.
However, if the agent can prove he is trying to deal with the client and get him to live up to the contract OR the agent drops the client, then the agent shows he honors the contract and his license is ok.
Doesn't matter the player or sport or agent..... breach the contract get suspended without pay.
