Rotoworld: Seymour wants new deal from Raiders (Report) - Page 8 - New England Patriots Forums

***TruthSeeker*** · 09-08-2009, 11:31 AM

Well, I thought I'd comment on the original post.

Where is this "strong sense" coming from? Did he talk to Seymour? Did he talk to his agent? He doesn't claim to have. In fact, I haven't heard anyone cite any sources or even explicitly claim that they have sources about what Seymour may or may not do.

Of course, since this is a message board, many will just assume that this is all true and run with it. Just like ESPN does all the time...

Prison Warden?

State Lottery Worker?

.......in the end, BB would lose his job too, because there wouldn't be Bozos like Rex Ryan and Al Davis to school. The world needs and should appreciate the Marty Morningwegs and the Dan Snyders.

according to this
Herald report vaguely cites financial issues between Seymour and Patriots | ProFootballTalk.com

I wonder if a compromise in which they agree not to franchise Seymour could be worked out.

Normally no team would be stupid enough to trade a #1 pick for a 1 year rental but it would seem that the Raiders
might fall into that category.

Seymour's position is understandable to me - he doesn't want to be in a situation where the Raiders of all teams Tag him. A long term deal now would be the best situation for him but an understanding that he would be a free agent next season would be a decent compromise.

The Raiders could go along with that if only to save face, as the alternative is admitting that no good players want to be anywhere near Cable, Davis and the Raiders.

Yes, everybody might be very well off, but few would rise to the rediculous heights that many rise to now. Ultimately, the wealth of a people is a function of production/person working. You can not have more than you actually produce, and sound investments are still reliant on what is actually produced. Perhaps, in time, when technology and efficiency of resources reach a point where we produce enough to make everybody millionaires, we can acheive this, but that is still some way off.

The rich build their empires on the backs of the poor.

Your so wrong its almost a waste of time to try to talk to you. Your brain is so throughly been laundered.

The population of the Globe is now about 6 Billion. And 3 billion, of which you are one, live an advanced lifestyle beyond the imaginings of royalty of 300 years ago, when the World population was a few hundred million, total.

You poor sod, Emperors would give all they had, to live as long, or as well, as you have the average expectancy of doing. You can and do have command of and own devices, they could only dream of.

You can and do have the ability to travel half way around the World on a moments notice, and use a minor amount of your income to do so. You don't suffer from lots of routine diseases, parasites, or filthy, fouled air, water, and food.

And your choices of that food is much more diverse than any King had. Do you have a whim to eat a Banana, from South America, a Pomegranate from Persia or a Pineapple from Hawaii, a Lobster from Maine, or a beefsteak from Nebraska? You can, and think nothing of it. Could Queen Elizabeth of England in 1500 do so? Don't be ridiculous.

Do you worry if you trip and fall and scrape a knee, or catch a cold? Don't be ridiculous; but if Napoleon had done so, he would probably die from infection.

So Where did all that "Wealth" that you and the other 3 billion have, come from? Ponder that, and consider that for a while. Is it really a ZERO Sum game, that you can only prosper by taking it from someone else? So where did it all come from?

Perhaps the political drivel that you have absorbed, that everyone is being ripped off by an "system" that provided that to you, is all evil. After all there are still 3 billion that don't have what you have; yet. But they are getting it pretty quickly. And it seems to be being created out of thin air, as there was nobody but a few hundred million mostly poor souls, a few centuries ago, to steal it from, or a single Billion at the end of WWII.

Only a set of anal cavities trying to accrue power and wealth for themselves, (without working), can protect you. And that you need to empower them and pay them a pretty penny, and make them rich to "protect you" from all the "wealth" you have.

Or are those just the very cloacal cavities of the worst sort, that they advise you to avoid?

8 pages = too much effort to read every post.

Why would you want to spend more than a year in Oakland.

One year and then come back Richard

Oh man, I've seen this before!!! Where's it from, again?

Yeah... being rich rocks. Even the "poor" in my village are rich. WHAT ? Only one car instead of two ? Cable instead of Dish ? Nice.
