What do you all suppose the motivation was? To get the union firmly on his side for a possible showdown or to put some more money in his pocket because he knew there was no extra $6.5 million agreed to? Or something else? |
I never understood why he wouldn't want the NFLPA to market his name. Was he planning on manufacturing and distributing his own line of uniforms? Plus, it was a pain in the ass typing his name in Madden 2004.
