....needs to Shut Up
| quote: | "I sat out for a little bit, something to let them know that I can play and I can not play," Revis said, according to NJ.com.
Revis, who is looking to become the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, as he says the Jets have promised, said he would be OK making "50 cents more" than Raiders CB Nmadi Ashomuga, who makes more than $16 million a year. |

so how exactly does him valuing his game play against a corner like ashomuga consider him 'acting a baby'?
i think revis got every right to ask that of the jets, he has game and i think he's a better corner the ashomuga even though the jets were interested in but didn't shell out. revis gave his proving year, pay the guy and let him play |

He's under contract and is threatening to not play.
How is that not a baby? |

+1... Stuff like this makes me appreciate sports like hockey way more (with salary caps).. You got guys on the ice shedding blood and taking pucks to the face for $150,000 a year... They strive so hard and take paycuts just for a chance of glory, and a Stanley Cup... The same can't be said about football and baseball players.. |

let me ask you something. do you walk into your job and threaten to stop working until you get more money because you do the job better than someone else? youd be fired.
football players are spoiled, and he probably is right in asking for more money, but it is not right to not be a team player. whine and complain in a different setting. don't hurt the team. |

| I feel bad for players like Chris Johnson and Revis who are clearly underpaid, but they are under contract. They agreed to play for X amount of money. Because they have a great season they want to cut that contract up and make a new one? It's not like management can rip the contract up and pay them less when they have a bad season. |

The Jets should just pay him the money and shut up.
Woody Johnson is sitting on a mountain of cash. That greedy ****** can give up a couple million more dollars without breaking a drop of sweat... |
