    what is amazing is guys are being forced to take pay cuts to stay on the team, others are being cut, others can't be signed all because they need to have money set aside for Revis. You would think a guy complaining about not being appreciated for $12 million a year would look at guys losing 70% - 100% of their salary because of his holdout. Nice team first attitude guy!

    "Darrelle does what he does because he loves it," she said, sitting at her dining-room table. "For this to be happening to him, it's almost like a slap in the face, because he's not appreciated."

    "If he does," Gilbert said of sitting out the season, "it won't be because of Sean. It'll be because the Jets don't give him a decent contract."

    Oh come on!!! God I'm hating Revis camp more and more...

    I asked chacha.com if Revis will play week one.
    We should have an answer shortly and then everyone can attend to other matters.

    Maybe they should have told grandma about the gag order. The Jets should just say is $120 million isn't appreciating you why don't you just play out the contract you originally held out for and wanted to badly. Thanks!

    How can you get mad over what a senile old bag says to the douche wagon Cimini?

    It's like getting mad at underwear because it crawled up your ass.

    Revis not being here definitely hurts the team to an extent, but I don't think he is going as far as "fucking them over"

    It's not like they aren't allowed to practice with him not here or something.

    No. But there's a slight difference between Wilson playing nickel and having to cover down the field on the outside....

    Plus...training on his own is different than getting in football shape...

    And there is the distraction element as well.

    If he was a F.A. that would be one thing. This douchebag is in the middle of a 6 year deal that he held out for...

    F*** show up and ride the bike, and say you're not risking injury till game time.

    It's going to be a hypothetical comment. If it was anything serious it would be headlining everywhere. More BS.

    Still no Revis.

    John clayton speculates Revis will be signed by the first week of the season, mentions the grandmother article by cimini, stating that the grandmother said he wants back, and chances are he will get back.

    Clayton seems to think that the sides will come to an agreement over the weekend.


    No facts or evidence to any of it, just pure speculation

    This is for everyone who could use a little help.

    If you read through this and think of Revis it's actually pretty awesome.

    Enjoy and feel free to make changes.


    Here is the grief model called "The 7 Stages of Revis' holdout":


    7 Stages of Revis' holdout...

    1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
    You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.

    2. PAIN & GUILT-
    As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.

    You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.

    3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
    Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the hold out on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.

    You may rail against fate, questioning "Why Revis?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair "I will never drink again if you just bring him back"

    4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
    Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.

    During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.

    7 Stages of Grief...

    5. THE UPWARD TURN-
    As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.

    6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
    As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.

    7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
    During this, the last of the seven stages of Revis' holdout, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.

    7 stages of Revis' holdout...

    You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.
