Tom Condon and the rest of the "If you pass on my player with the first pick and take my client 8,377th I will still demand #1 overall money!" agents should be thrown down a well with a rock tied around their collective necks. Team owners and the players/agents point fingers at each other, but it's the fan who has to ante up at the ticket window when he wants to take the family to a game. Something has to be done with the financial madness in this sport or they're going to kill the only game I ever truly loved. Nobody on the planet deserves $35mil guaranteed before they've done a damn thing. The NFL is starting to remind me of baseball, and I hate what they've done to baseball. Football needs a savior--we can only hope it's Parcells. I agree with Matt.

Lets see...hmmm, take less money than #1 pick usually gets (even though he isnt worthy of the #1 pick) and become the #1 pick...or...fight the negotiations and become a 5-9 pick...I dont understand it I hope we work this out with Long...Would make me very happy to draft him Two things: #1, I hate Tom Condon…If we lose Jake Long and have to draft Vernon I will be very mad…I really, really dont think he is worth the #1 pick…He is just really muscular, I dont see it…I really want Jake Long…#2, Is Vernon’s stupid?
