Except every extra dollar they pay Gordon is a dollar less to spend elsewhere. And there is no guarantee as to how long he will remain healthy. The team is playing their strongest hand. I dont have a problem with Gordon holding out but he just doesn't have much leverage at this point. 

I’d have to disagree with the idea that this is a typical case of a team “squeezing” or refusing to pay their star back his due. The Chargers initially offered Gordon 10-11 million per year, which would make him the 4th-highest paid back in the league. For a guy who had 885 yards rushing last year and a lot of…

Sorry, I don’t mean to be “that guy”, but Onomatopoeia Blorker-Chubb played linebacker in college, but in the NFL he’s spent more time as a safety.

I miss Key & Peele...

Saints fans will continue flood the NFL offices with their grievances 

I’m sure there will be bounties of them.

Anxiously awaiting the flood of puns that are sure to follow.

Wow these fans are ready to levee war on NFL officials.

Billy is Deadspin’s Colin Cowherd please don’t @ me

I just want to say with admiration, you either aren’t as pathetically attached to your “approved” status as I am, or you have giant fucking balls!

The soccer comments are dickish because Billy has been told the same complaints about his writing over and over and over for years - enough with the ridiculous paragraph-long run-on sentences, the use of fourteen paragraphs to make an incredibly banal point that could have been made in two sentences, the constant…
