It's been slowly gaining steam.

Year after year, a few more join the bandwagon.

Recently, it finally came to a crescendo as Terrel Owens and his new agent, Rosenhaus (aka the Anti-Christ), decided that one year into his 7yr. $49m contract he should get a new one that pays him a lot more. Not coicidentally, Javon Walker of the Packers after having one good year out of the three he's been in the league is also pulling the same crap. Guess who his agent is? This is not limited to football, you see it in every sport and it's becoming increasingly accepted as normal business practice: Hold out and whine until they pay you.

Thankfully, the Eagle's owner, team, and most importantly, the fans have decreed that they won't renogotiate and will win with or without TO.

Every team in every sport needs to handle these a-holes in this manner. When did it become acceptable to not honor your contract? When did it become acceptable to not be true to your word? When did it become acceptable for one person to be greater than the team? What kind of example is this setting for kids? As professionals, don't they owe it to the fans that pay their salaries to be better role models? It's bad enough most young athlete consider college as merely a weigh station until they can bolt for the pro's. But now when they get there, they seem to have no concept beyond anything but "What's in it for me?"

Brett Favre, without question one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history said it best:
"Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract."

OK, I'm off my soapbox.
