In case anyone is interested.....

Paul Allen, "Jermichael, any thoughts of wearing Purple next year after your contract expires??? We could use a TE like you and you'd look really nice next to Greg."

Jermichael, "Awwwwww you know I'd never say never Pam. If I gotta move east as the compass shines and play in cold weather, then I'm gonna' think about it. I'd fit right in around here. I've never played in a Super Bowl like all these guy's...only difference is I got this ring"

W/ his agent...

The Dynamic Duo of D-baggery.

Watch Fin-tard have an epic year, and demand $10 million a year.

Guy has been a salary thief all but 1 year of his career.

I thought Finley did a good job handling PA.

"Packers are gonna take over your city."

Finley on being paid $8.25M this year: "You could give me $100mm I would never get fat and happy. I'd want more."

All that says to me is he's admitted to being human, and being a greedy MFer.

I have no doubt every NFL player wants more money. But not everyone is going to put in the work.

Not derail the topic here, and not saying Finley is one of these guys, but I love it when these guys justify their greed by saying "I've got a limited shelf life. I am one hit away from ending my career!"

If that happens, do what thousands of NFL alumni before you, who weren't paid enough to be set for life, did/do...GET A JOB. If you have no degree or no skillset, it's doesn't take either to work hundreds of job in this country. A little unskilled labor beneath you? I am sure you can find some dumb$hit willing to pay you thousands of dollars to speak at a banquet, or sign autographs at a car dealership.

I have to be honest, he handled himself really well. PA did all he could could rattle him and get him to bite but he never did.

Could it be that Jermichael is finally going to pull everything together and have a monster year we've been waiting for?

Or sue.

Or win the lotto like Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson

How many pull tabs for 8.25 million?

Desmond Bishop will be on P.A.'s show today.

Well, it doesn't appear they are going to cut him or trade him so I am going to try my best to support the guy. If he plays well chances are the team will do pretty well. Whether or not he's around long term is up to TT but Finley is the equivalent of Brandon Jennings for the Bucks. Ultra talented player who shoots his mouth off and shows flashes of brilliance but also flashes of being a complete knucklehead.

wth? Will no queen player go on his show? I can't think of one time that the Wisconsin radio guys I listen to have had anyone besides a Packer player on their shows. And I'd channel a show in a heartbeat if they told me they'd be interviewing jared allen after these msgs.

I think it has to do with some charity that Finley and Bishop are involved in. They may both have Baratz as their agent.

** edit ** Baratz rep's them both.

I think that's right.

Baratz owns Institute for Athletes in Minneapolis. He's originally from Minnetonka, and his company is different in that it isn't simply a "sports agent".

They do a lot of work with they guys that they represent as to what to expect on and off of the field.

He seems to focus mainly on professional and college athletes from the Mid-West. And I think he brings some of his veteran players in before the draft and they get together with the draftees for a few days.

I think the segment is kind of cool. It's refreshing to hear other NFL players and soon to be NFL players, instead of the same old, same old, with the hometown guys.
