Huh? Not sure where you're going with that. Im old school. I believe you should work for what you have. Im not saying he didnt, just be a bit more appreciative for what is being offered.

And I don't see where you get that I'm entitled.

You don't think he appreciates the opportunity to play pro football. Why? Because he didn't want to play for the Chargers? So what if he was offered the #1 overall pick. He didn't want it if it meant San Diego. He worked hard and he earned this opportunity. And he wanted to play somewhere else. You think he should just shut up and sign the deal in front of him? I think pro athletes should use any and all leverage they can to get the deal that they want. Because the league and the teams are not looking out for their best interests.
