Anyone who has ever worked with a head hunter to find an acquire a job knows this. |

This is a major stipulation of the contract....not something that is in fine print somewhere buried in a 100 page document. Let me ask you this? At your current or past job, did you know how much you made to the dollar and what for and how many hours you worked and how much vacation time (if any) you had etc. All of us know these things. All I'm saying is this....if I was an NFL player getting paid millions to just make appearances and show up to practice, you bet your ass I'm going to know exactly how much I'm getting paid and when and how often etc. It's not the agent's job to retain major contract info pertaining workout clause and bonuses. Brown is a dumbass and this was a hard lesson for him to take. Notice how he's now going to beg the 49ers like it's any of their ****ing problem. Be a man and own up, stop looking to other people to blame for your failures. I bet he knows how much guaranteed money he's supposed to get should he get cut/released. |
I don't quite understand the poll options.

It truly is amazing to see the difference a generation makes.
The nanny state has already drilled into the heads of so many toddler-adults that it is the job of someone else to take care of them and lead them through life. The world of 1984 is going to be quite easy for some of you to adapt to... |

Did you hire an agent to negotiate your salary, vacation days, sick days and overtime rate? I didn't think so. |
We pay our accountants and attorneys to perform certain functions which we need but don't have the expertise to perform. Same with an agent. Unless the agent informed the player of this clause and the player choose to ignore it this is 100 percent on the agent.

Your headhunter analogy is completely wrong. You don't pay the headhunter (unless you're desperate and you have no marketable skills). The company that hires you and pays your salary pays the headhunter. Your relationship with the headhunter terminates as soon as you accept the job offer. The player's relationship with the agent is ongoing. It's totally different. |

Answer: This has nothing to do with a nanny state. It's all about hiring a guy to do a job for you and him failing to do the job. If I hire a tax attorney to make sure I avoid every tax that I can legally avoid, I will fire his ass if he misses some tiny little detail that winds up costing me two million dollars. The tax attorney isn't my nanny: he's a professional that I pay to perform a service. |

Meh, it's only money, he got mom-time... Good for him, and his agent should be commended for helping it happen perhaps. |
