It's easy, and only takes a few moments.What's more telling about Florio's character is his habit of deleting ANY comment on an article that even hints at any direct criticisms of something he's posted. ANYTHING I've ever posted there that criticizes him even tangentially, has never lasted a half hour. Pretty thin skinned if you ask me.
it's easy to talk and not so easy to walk the walk -- especially when you have agents involved who get a cut. I wonder what Brady and his agent have discussed about this -- surely the agent isn't happy, but Brady can make it up to him easily.
LOL! So last night he was trying to tell us that Brady didn't take a penny less, and today the deal is so good for the Pats that it's cheating! Good one, Florio.
All the hand-wringing over why he left money on the table is asinine. He's taken less his whole career, for starters. On top of that, are we seriously talking about what Kraft would have to do to sweeten the deal for Brady?? As if there's some side deal?!? ROFLMAO. As if Tom Brady needs the money. The only reason he didn't take as sizable a discount the last time around was b/c of his obligations to the NFLPA and feeling the need to set the bar for QBs. Does anyone really think Brady and Giselle are sitting around counting their pennies?
Good lord. The two just built a MFing moat in front of their mansion and are buying a second mega-home back east, I don't think they need anyone to throw in deal sweeteners. How is it hard to get that money is not an issue for Brady and his wife?
The guy took a hometown discount. He did so because he likes the team, wants to win, and simply doesn't need the money. End of story, there's nothing else going on here.
Man, some people are stupid. And it's amazing those people are considered authorities.
Florio will ALWAYS go out of his way to cast aspersions on the Pats when he can. He's a die hard Steeler fan, who has never forgiven the Pats for beating his team at home in 2 AFCCG's. That's why he never lets an opportunity, regardless of how feckless, to bring up a spy-gate reference, or anything else negative about the Pats. It really pisses me off, but when you think about it, it isn't really out of the ordinary behavior for a rabid Steeler fan.

Two or three years ago, he wrote an article about Belichick giving Chad Eaton some extra money to start training camp fights when they were both in Cleveland. He went on to point out the potential salary cap violations (the amount Eaton received was never mentioned) and the implications of a 15 year old story.
At the end, he wrote something like "Things like this are pretty common throughout the league and it's history, but I'm making a big deal out of because it involves Belichick and the Patriots."
It’s highly unlikely that anything will come of this, given that Eaton is talking about things that happened more than 15 years ago. But any hint of a potential rules violation by the Patriots and/or Belichick is sure to get PFT Planet’s juices flowing on a fairly slow Friday morning, regardless of whether any, some, or all of the other 31 coaches were doing the same thing.
I dont know why anyone reads Florio.
I thought he sucked even before his anti-Patriot ways came to light. Long before he was ever on NBC too.
The guy made his bones recycling other peoples work and making crap up. Now that he is bigger he does have some better sources but his real skill has always been taking local writers work and giving them a national place to put it thus they feed him stuff so he links to them and he never has to do anywork to seem like he is connected everywhere.
Also he is an ex lawyer but whenever there is anything law related and you would think he would be good to turn too he is as clueless as anyone.
You're right. Despite my low opinion of Florio's editorial opinions and the way he personally plays favorites (like he did with the Saints), I am a regular visitor to the site because despite Florio, its a convenient place to get an quick overview of the day's NFL news.Because the site is an excellent place to go when you want football information
He's a smarmy little turd who makes his bones passing on info, but makes himself happy by trying to impose his brand of morality on others. Read him for the information. Mock him for his opinions.
