''1. Payment of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ($100,000.00) DOLLARS [lawyer's capitals] on delivery of the football.
''2. A guarantee of eight (8) season tickets for 25 years in the end zone (preferably sections 142 or 143).
''a. The season tickets will be paid for annually by my client at the then going price for season tickets. The Patriots would not be expected to pay for the tickets.
''3. Delivery by the Patriots to my client sometime in September, 2006, of a Tom Brady Patriots' football jersey signed by all the team members as of the beginning of the next football season."
Borges:"A tip of the hat to the Kraft family for ignoring the whole matter. As someone in the organization said Friday, ''I hope he enjoys the football."
----Also talks about Labor negotiations:
Management has begun to put together some guaranteed cap numbers beginning at $110 million and swelling to $160 million six years later. Twelve years ago, when the salary cap era began, the first cap was around $36 million.
------Sunday night games later in year:
For Week 10, a game will be designated for Sunday night 12 days in advance; the same will happen for each succeeding week, with the teams involved given 12 days' notice.

As for the fan you should have just asked for either the cash or the merchandise not season tickets, you might have gotten one or the other certainly not 100 grand though. Whose this guy's lawyer?
Looks like the CBA will get done soon.
I think the 12 days kind of stinks for fans of the Sunday night game. For me it would be no problem since I live 45 inutes away but for those that travel 4+ hours that stay overnight for those late games 12 days could be a real pain.
