Very good.


May I also suggest adding:


- There is no God.

- Women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

- Lobotomy should be performed on the mentally disabled.

- Abraham Lincoln was a vampire.

I don't believe in God anyway.....


But basically I summed up everything you said. I understand your opinion, but I completely disagree. As does most everyone else it seems. You're entitled to it, but at this point, we know where you stand, and you aren't changing anyone's mind by arguing yet you keep trying to make everyone agree with you. Know when to let it go...

No, you missed it.  He's an EMT and played high school football.  He's an expert.

 

He's like a real life Chuck Norris.  We all try to measure up to his manliness but it cant be done.

 

I know what I didn't miss.  

 

Holding a dissenting public opinion about a beloved Wisconsin Badger will draw the ire of a certain poster on this message board.  Relax.

Borland made his decision.  If he wants to retire, he should.

 

The angle I don't get is people saying things like when I heard O'Halleron on 1010xl today saying something along the lines that Borland needs to realize his decision, and the decision of others like him retiring early affects GMs and other player personnel who get fired for making poor draft picks.  As if a GM wouldn't throw a player out on his backside the minute it was beneficial for his own job. I might have misheard him, but if that is his position, well, I just don't get it.

Yeah, it's a business.  Do what's right for you.

 

I do think Borland should have given his employer or potential employers a heads up though.  That would be common decency.

If he was scared of playing football, im not sure why he entered the draft and wasted the 49ers pick.  He should of quit football a year ago, or been honest with teams that he just wanted to play a single year, im sure someone would of picked him up as a free agent,  but to cost a team a third round pick when your not committed to playing football is selfish and dishonest when the rest of the draft pool hopes and dreams of a career in the nfl.

My apologies.  Bad assumption made by me by looking at your screen name.

He's supposed to be a good ol' boy and not disrupt the chain of authoritie!  PLay boy! PLAY!

Agreed.

 

To make a fantasy football comparison.  It's like starting a dynasty or keeper league with your friends.  You mortgage all your future picks to win Year 1.  Turns out your team is pretty bad and you quit after the season.  Is it the best decision for you?  Yes, you're saving a lot of money.  Did you just screw all of your friends?  Absolutely.  Sometimes the best decision for you isn't the best decision.

Meh. Its contract employment. Either side has the right to terminate the contract (sometimes with ramifications). I don't see anyone jumping to the anyone's defense when a player is cut without being given a heads up. Its just part of the business.

didn't say he doesn't have the right to retire.  im sure no team wants a player that is scared to go out on the field.  doubt they tired to convince him to stay once they found out.    its the way he entered the nfl that was wrong.

its not like he went into the draft knowing he'd only play one year in the NFL.

Well, that's what he said.  He said he told his entire family while he was in college.

the team can recover any of the money owed to them.  he played for a year and that's all they need to pay for.  the team will probably get a compensatory pick.  there's nothing to complain about there.

 

again, teams dump players all the time.  it's refreshing that the roles are reversed for a change

Contracts work both ways.  Michael Johnson got $16 million for one season.

 

I hate seeing either side given the chorizo.

---

I still don't get why people are upset about him retiring.....


and I definitely don't like that people think he owes the 49ers something or screwed them over...

---

Look at Jim McMahon and what football has done to him, and I can't blame Borland one bit.

---

Looks like Urban Harbaugh knew exactly when to jump ship.

 

HeadSlap

So much wrong with that comment.
