that was a great article
so thats all you gathered from that article?Martellus calling half the league corny?
Wasn't he the player that did the "Black ppl Olympics" a while back?
I hope he adds himself in the corny half of the league
Nikkas For Lease is right though. Risk your future motor and neurological function and the owners MIGHT pay you what was originally agreed and signed upon![]()




It might seem hard to sympathize with this idea -- the notion that a pair of brothers who have both made more than $20 million playing football could be dissatisfied with the system that's enriched them. But consider: Michael and Martellus were raised by a good man who lost his job because of the bad actors above him. They've seen hundreds of players rise and fall with little to show for it, while the suits who profit off their bodies stay in the same place. They know what it means to be labor instead of capital. "Growing up, black people never owned anything," Martellus says. "I want to build. I want to make."
He turns to Michael. "How many black owners have there been in the history of the NFL?"
"Zero," Michael says. "We're check getters, not check writers."
As we roll through Burbank, the palm-tree-studded suburb where Stoopid Buddy Stoodios is based, the conversation turns to the NFL Players Association. The brothers believe the union hasn't been sufficiently innovative in tapping new revenue streams. "Why are we not hiring people who used to work at Microsoft, at Google, Apple?" Michael asks. "We can't be athletes thinking the way athletes think. We need people who are like: I used to work at Nike. Let's go to China and create our own shoes."
"That's my problem with the NFLPA," Martellus says. "I feel like they're always playing defense and not offense. They're never making progressive moves."
That shyt looks worse and worse every year, they had their replacement for Witten and they let him go because of friendship(Romo/Witten) and bad coaching.I always believed in you Marty B. Breh just couldn't break into that Romo-Witten bromance.

(Both smirk.)
Michael: "The greatest quarterback in the NFL."
Martellus: "Vicious. Competitive."
Michael: "A real Joe Montana."
