That ghost made out of glass!
I want an exact "secret" D.B. might reveal, you got one ?
I have to be honest. As someone who flies a lot, reading about a pilot who get so easily riled up and also may carry a gun on a flight makes me pretty nervous.As I said I was exaggerating to make a point, obviously there is a significant difference but in essences it is the same type of thing, you turn on one group that has been good to you historically and provide potentially detrimental information to its enemy in exchange for something that may benefit you.
I understand the business world and the fact the NFL is a business still does not make it right, you cannot just say this is a business and that excuses the nature of your actions. Yes it was a business move but it was also a betrayal to the players, coaches and franchise that had given him many opportunities, throw a bow around it that a business decision if you want but it is still a traitorous move.
His own team is now the Indianapolis Colts. They're paying him thousands of dollars, plus per diem, to play football for 1-4 weeks.
Well there's the small matter of 4,297 yards and 24 TD's.

The Colts didn’t want him for 17 games and now all of sudden they do – Gee I wonder why.
Like I said if I lose my medical Delta will get rid of me, should I turn on them and sell trade secrets to other organizations? It’s just business right? Good for me I have the right to make money...
No offense but if you’re defending the move Branch is making here it implies to me that you’d do the same thing, I would not do it, I consider loyalty to be a lost trait and the main reason this society finds itself in so much ruin constantly.
Yeah that’s not that much when you consider how much he gained from this franchise. What Branch did is not a respectful human action, I don’t care if you call it a business. Apparently you think its ok to do something self-serving no matter how meager even if it hurts someone or something that had done right by you in the past and helped you, but since they’re not benefiting you now forget them it’s a what have you done for me lately world right Manx?

Can you prove that the Patriots organisation feels hurt? This seems like mere speculation to me. The Patriots don't act out of charity. They selected and developed Branch because they thought he could help them. And whilst he was here, he did (just ask Tom Brady about Branch's value). And when the Patriots felt Branch could no longer help them, they unceremoniously dumped him. He owes the Patriots nothing.
No Manx; can you prove that it doesn’t?
They didn’t dump Branch, he is 34 years old and not smart enough to grasp the fact that his career is over. They kept him onboard longer than any other franchise would have, I didn’t see the Colts signing him during the regular season, just the week before they face the Patriots in the playoffs.
That’s about as fair weathered what have you done for me lately a statement as I have ever seen. Clearly we have a different view on appreciation, gratitude, loyalty and doing right by those who have done right by you in the past. Its best we just discontinue this conversation because it is not going to go anywhere.
But for him "thousands of dollars" is not much. I would not do it if I was in his place. And when you consider that thousands of dollars for him is like hundreds of dollars for most of us, it seems even less enticing.
I think you misunderstand the relationship between employer and employee.
