The New Fake Hammy - "I want a trade" look...

Ahh We build them up only to tear them down.

Lets break this down simple like.

Dockett and Q are very good players on the cusp of being great players with a couple more good years. They want to get paid while their primary asset (their body) can still put out more PB level seasons. Saying we would be a better team by them not being on the squad is just silly.

They are doing whatever it takes to get a new contract. You know why? So they can start the clock on the NEXT contract before their production drys up. That is the nature of the NFL. Get as much money as fast as possible before the business side of the game is up against you.

My advice to all fans just follow players and thier impact on your favorite team on the field and in the locker room. Nothing more nothing less. Otherwise you'll go crazy. If you don't put them on a pedestal for any reason other their actual production on the field then its less likely this kind of stuff will shock and dismay you.


It's alot easier to sit on a MB and pretend like we wouldn't be trying to cash out at every opportunity possible because its easy to say how we want others to act when we have never been in the position.

Get over it and get excited for the football portion of the team.

Soap Operas are for house wives.

nice!

I agree with Shane. Nice post.

Nice post, yes. No, the drama won't stop me rooting for them to help my team. Yes, I think disrespecting the team and fans in such an open manner deserves my hostility. No, it clearly is not a fashion thing when only the two babies of the team wears them like that; it's a statement.

I like this post, too.

I have no doubt that the actions of the disgruntled are completely choreographed to create the maximum amount of outrage. I also believe that being enraged by them only encourages further episodes of bad behavior.

The way I look at it is as follows: Will I still be a Cardinal fan if neither DD or Q are on the team next season? For me the answer is yes, I will; so the bottom line is that it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what these two knuckleheads do.

The second question I ask myself is: Is my life going to be any different if either of these two make more money next year? Again the answer is no, it won't. I guess because of salary cap considerations, there is an argument to be made that their salaries could impact the signing of free agents next year; but in the long run, since Graves never signs the FA's I want anyway, the point is probably moot.

This isn't to say that you and others do not have the right to feel pissed off and disrespected. Of course you do. But remember, like terrorists (a little over-the-top example, but WTH ), the entire point of what they are doing is to extract an extreme reaction from the fans.

However, this is one fan who is not going to give them that satisfaction.
