*soupir* … *GROS SOUPIR*
En fait Osi je l’aime bien quand il la ferme! C’est aussi simple que ça.
On apprend qu’il a envoyé un email à l’AP pour parler de la situation. Je vous copie-colle les extraits que j’ai trouvé.
Pour ceux qui ont la flemme de lire, Osi dit qu’il veut rester un Gman mais qu’il en a marre de l’hypocrisie et du système. Ce qu’Osi ne semble pas comprendre c’est que les Giants n’ont tout simplement pas la place dans leur masse salariale pour lui donner une augmentation (et puis personnellement je trouve qu’il ne la mérite pas).
“I hope there is a chance (of working out something with the Giants),” he said in the e-mail. “But who knows? What really annoys me is the hypocrisy of people clamoring for my head for asking for a new deal or to be traded, saying I have two years left on my deal. These contracts only mean something to us? Where is (recently released center Shaun) O’hara? Where is (recently released guard) Rich Seubert? True inspirational football players. They were cut after being injured. They have years left on their deal. Why is (running back Brandon) Jacobs asked to take a pay cut? He has years left on his deal.
“The fact is in the business we are in, if you get injured, or they feel like you under-performed, they cut you without hesitation. But if you clearly out-play your contract and ask for something to be done, you’re a bad guy and not a team player. It’s ridiculous. How does a guy who had one good year (no disrespect to Charles Johnson) sign a deal and make more than both me and (Giants defensive end Justin) Tuck combined? (Johnson just signed a six-year, $72 million deal with Carolina) It’s not right.
“Everyone in this business understands that is exactly what it is. Business. And just like none of us get upset when our teammates are released due to business decisions, the teams also don’t get upset when something like this happens. It’s just frustrating to see how people react to one thing, and not the other. Just be fair.”
