Default Branch is like 99 percent of Americans....

He wants more money... But he is doing it the wrong way, and coming off like a idiot.. He should have played this out and see what happens... But it was a gamble on both sides, but to me it seems like Deion wants out... and work for someone else...

This downward spiral he's been a part of has been sickening. I remember back in the middle of summer when guys on this board got lynched for suggesting we trade him, now all I (and most of us, I think) want is for him to be gone. I just hope we get somebody who can catch a bloody football in return.

Preferably not a tight end.

I agree, I thought trading him was assinine, but now it might be the only way to resolve this... Except say to Deion.. Deion here it is, 5 yrs 31 mil extention, no fines the contract starts now, take it or leave it... He says pound sand, trade him to seattle for a 1 and a 4 ...

"Branch is like 99 percent of Americans..."

An over-inflated opinion of himself??

I have lived in the South for twenty years. Down here everyone makes $15 an hour--7.50 on the first job and $7.50 on the second job. Without football, a young guy Branch would be lucky to be making $30,000 a year. The man is not like every other American. The man is a fool who has lost touch with reality.

Sure everyone wants more money but its not the be all and end all, every day folks make choices regarding raises and new job opportunities and we balance that against quality of life issues like geographic location and time with family or time for yourself and all kinds of issues. So in the end if you choose the top dollar route - that is fine, thats your choice.........and its also fine if someone chooses a different path.
