I thought this was funny. I'm guessing that the next words out of Jerry Richardson's mouth were, "They call roughing the passer if anyone gets within ten yards of you."
On another note, I'm surprised that Brees and Manning are at the negotiating table. I figured they'd have lawyers and agents there and no one else.

08:05 AM ET 02.14 | Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson may not be invited to dinner any time soon with two of the NFL's top quarterbacks. Richardson mocked quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Drew Brees during a Feb. 5 negotiating session with the NFL Players Association, says three league sources, a sign of disrespect that the union hopes solidifies its members in the pending labor battle with the NFL. "[Richardson] was extremely condescending to them, especially toward Peyton," a source said. ... Apparently, Richardson was particularly sarcastic when Manning started to talk about players' safety. At one point, Richardson evidently said, "What do you know about player safety?"

Two of the most popular players in the game get insulted in negotiations and then it's reported to fans? Seems like an easy way to make the owners look like the bad guys. I bet we hear BS like this from both sides till this is resolved.
