The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (status unknown) Uh, the post you quoted agrees with you that "we want to make you the highest paid corner" was never said.
you can just summarize it as the fact that 159 pages of speculation, lies, hate, anger, and comedy on this topic have amounted to nothing since the 1st post. This should be sticky'd, locked, and not discussed anymore until a deal is made
1) let me fill you in on a little something, looking at something objectively would imply that you are looking at it from BOTH sides, you can not be objective without looking at both Revis side, and the Jets side. So, thanks for making my point, you did not look at it objectively, you only looked at it from Revis' side. 2)If you want to claim reading is fundamental, as some sort of attack on me, you might want to try it yourself. I have NEVER used the mevi$ moniker when describing Revis, I have ALWAYS used Revis. I referred to it as something a lot of fans starting using, once both sides of the story became clear. Yes, reading IS in fact fundamental.
This is something that I have been trying and failing to get across to people for a while. I have no problem with people being pissed about the amounts that his team is asking for. But every single page of this thread I'm pretty sure I have read at least one person screaming for him to play out his deal. That stopped being relevant the moment the Jets approached Revis to make him a Jets for life. I guess it doesn't help that the Jets decided to play the 'he's still got 3 years left on his deal' card once things didn't play out the way they wanted.

The thread police, they've invaded the thread. The thread police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no... 8200 posts can't be wrong.
They actually already said it. To the press. And they they went back to negotiating with him secretly. That was what fenwyr calls a masterful negotiation tactic.
I feel like I am arguing with a child, seriously, but what the heck. 1) How the F do you know they promised to make him the highest paid CB?? I have NEVER EVER seen that, what I read was they went to him telling him they wanted to give him a new contract. 2) Mangold was 1 year away from a FA status, not 3 years, please tell me you can do the math between 3 and 1, please? I am having fun arguing with you, but if you cannot figure that out, I just will lose all interest. You failed your earlier math test and were exposed, please pass this one, please? 3) If you ever played football, you would know there is a difference between playing nickle back and cb, I played for 9 years, I understand how this works. 4) Your bandwagon points are childish and have no point to them. I don't claim you are not a Jets fan for not understanding the JETS side of things, but you want to accuse me of not being a Jets fan for seeing the JETS side of things? Logic is right there with Math as a weakness for you huh? You might want to work on that, k sport?
champ, you are defending a guy that has spent the past 2 pages of this thread sucking the team's dick. At what point do you actually start knowing what you're talking about.
