Will any team give in to Dirty Drew

Are any of the teams going to give in to players represented by Drew Rosenhaus. I'd say no. Philly won't with Owens. They have a really well-run orginization as much as a hate to admit.
Packers won't with Walker. They have other options at receivers and with Brett calling out the team like he did there is no way they'd cave.
I'd like to say with Gibbs at the helm with Williams giving defensive personal advice, Taylor won't get any renogotiation either. Hopefully that punk Drew Rosenhaus will look like a total assclown this offseason as no team gives in and he looks like the most foolish, greedy jerk in sports. I really believe that his reputation is on the line here if all the teams stay strong.
I will be real disappointed if ANY of these teams gives up.

What the heck is an assclown? Is that someone that makes you laugh using donkeys?

Drew may be able to get what he thinks the players should get in certain situations but IMO Taylor will not get a new contract and Moss may (because he should) but both will be treated fairly by the Skins because Joe is in charge here and not because of anything that Drew advises or suggests!
T.O is going to find the iggles are not going to do what DR says they will do and IMO the Packers may give Jevon a new deal but this will be on their terms and not by JW not attending mandatory practices.

Here is a good definition relating to school:
In 1996, T. Russell Hanes Jr., a mathematics student at Columbia College proposed what has come to be known as the "Ass-Clown Theory of Relativity." According to Hanes, "In any class of 20 or more people, at least one person will be a total, unrelenting, ass-clown." "Even if the particular ass-clown is removed from the class," continued Hanes, "a new ass-clown will arise to fill his place."
"Ass-clowns, like nature, abhor a vacuum."
Those of you with a less scientific background might not be familiar with the term "ass-clown." Laymen use other terms such as "helium-hands," "gunners," or "I swear to Christ I'm gonna kick that guy's ass if he raises his hand one more freaking time."
Whatever you call ass-clowns, you have probably figured out by now the people I'm talking about. You might also have figured out the obvious corollary to the Hanes Theory: If you are in a class of 20 or more people, and you don't know who the ass-clown is, then you should probably stop waving your hand in the air and wipe that please-call-on-me look off your face. Ass-clown.
I harbor no delusions that ass-clowns can be eliminated. One can no more fight the Hanes Theory than one could prevent gravity, inertia, or boy-bands. It is a simple fact of nature. Nevertheless, I believe that with a few simple pointers I can help you, dear reader, to identify the ass-clowns in your own classes, and perhaps, in that way, to avoid the harsh ignominy of ass-clownitude for yourself. Here then are a few easy ways to spot an ass-clown.
* An ass-clown will usually voluntarily position himself towards the front of the classroom. Ass-clowns flock to front rows like flies flock to being annoying.
* An ass-clown believes the professor who says, "there are no stupid questions." The rest of us know that professors go home and spend half of dinner telling their spouses the stupidest thing they heard that day. "Honey, you'll never guess what that idiot ass-clown said today!" [In case you were curious, they spend the other half of dinner regaling each other with tasteless jokes that start: "A priest, a rabbi, and George Rupp walk into a bar..."]
* Ass-clowns, like many, bring food to class. What sets an ass-clown apart is that he will always pick a food that either crunches loudly or smells up the entire room. Be on the lookout for tacos from Wien.
* Lastly, and most importantly, an ass-clown cannot shut-up. This is the defining characteristic of any ass-clown. He just cannot close his stinking pie-hole for any period of time longer than it takes to think up his next ass-clown comment. Anyone who talks too much is an ass-clown and anyone who is an ass-clown, by definition, talks too much.
Also, in the words of that guy from Office Space - "Michael Bolton...that no-talent assclown..."

Stay strong. These agents need to be shown for what they are. Have you noticed that the Postons don't really get to push teams around anymore after the teams simply decided they weren't going to deal with them?
Well, Rosenhaus may have a lot of clients, but that doesn't mean anything. All his clients can sit out if they want, but there are other players in this league who would be very happy to play for nowhere near the kind of money that his players demand. For example, I don't think the Eagles would have any problem at all with Reggie Brown playing instead of Terrell Owens. Wanna know why?
Because if every team stands up and says "we're not going to be bullied by you anymore," that means all Rosenhaus' players, the dumb ones anyway, will hold out and not play. Every team just about would lose some players, usually good ones, and I think it would end up balancing out.
Some teams, like the Eagles, would suffer more because their best player is represented by Rosenhaus. But, that being said, I'm not complaining one bit if the Eagles are worse this year than they were last year. In fact, I'd very much like it.

They might also find that 1 incredibly talented player on a very good team does not make that much difference. This would be especially true if they made the "adjustments" early enough to not include that incredibly talented player.
Oh how sweet this might be for a lot of NFL teams! And, how many of these guys want the $$$ for playing well but also will not give anything back if they do not perform or if they cannot perform due to lack of proper preparation?

Gibb's Hog,
Thanks for the "text book" definition of an Ass-clown!
Bye the way, you can put your hand down now and move to the back of the class!

The NFL is advising teams NOT to renegotiate these, it is bad for the league and undermines the validity of all contracts. The Eagles won't redo Owens contract for sure, but I'm afraid the Skins will redo Taylors contract.

Snyder and Drew are actually pretty good at getting things done. It's a relationship with a solid foundation...you got your rich, free-spending guy and you got your money-loving rep.
