Boo-Hoo Drew

Somebody get Drew and his poor millionaires a box of Kleenex. Fast.

Boo-Hoo Drew didn't really just say that he wouldn't "stand for" Javon Walker risking his life without getting a decent wage, did he? Puuhhh-leeease! Boo-Hoo, don't waste our time with your garbage rhetoric. His garbage quote is four paragraphs from the bottom of this Packer Plus article. Cover your nose first.

Who does Boo-Hoo think he is by feeding the fans bunk like that? Is he some kind of NFL Power Broker now that he's lubricated the trade chassis of a few teams? It's time for NFL GM's to strip Boo-Hoo Drew of his perceived power by refusing to deal with ANY of his grossly underpaid clients (the holdouts). Unfortunately, Boo-Hoo Drew knows that all it takes is two weak GM's to strike a deal for one of his Prima donnas and make himself look like the Deal Maker.

Does Boo-Hoo Drew even care about the deal being good for his client (of which he has over 90 of, as he often reminds us)? Look at Boo-Hoo's recent track record. He orchestrated the Champ Bailey trade when his client, Clinton Portis, became unhappy with the contract he had signed. How did things work out for Boo-Hoo Drew's client? Portis' stats declined DRAMATICALLY in every significant statistical category (yards, yards per attempt, touchdowns) except attempts. Oh, Clinton did manage to fumble more often though (from 3 in 2003 to 5 in 2004). Plus, he's playing for the mediocre Redskins. But hey, he's making a lot more money for all that mediocrity. Attaboy, Drew.

Mike McKenzie is still crying about his contract in New Orleans and may not report to camp next week when the Aints open camp. What a shock! Poor guy. Having to make ends meet on mere hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. His numbers were pretty comparable in 2004 to what they had been in previous years (decent, but not spectacular) but he's playing for the AINTS. Welcome to football purgatory, Mike. Here's your big-screen TV, so you can catch ALL the post-season action. Good work, Boo-Hoo.

Ted Thompson is absolutely correct in telling Javon and Boo-Hoo to forget about a New Deal. We haven't even started this season and I'm fully convinced that Ted Thompson is the right man to be in charge of the Green Bay Packers. I doubt that he can fix us this year, but in a couple years--look out.
