Hasn't this player-agent bull.... gone a little too far?  Shelby Jordan gets
this "real nice" contract agreement from the Pat's (no help from his agent),
all of a sudden his agent come back from vacation (or Mars or something) and
literally blows a decent deal for Shelby. $300,000 a year for a lineman isn't
peanuts (what he would have gotten), but he boo hoo'd a little too much, so now
he's playing for $180,000 and still owes the ball club $38,000 in fines! 

If I were Jordan (or any pro athlete), I'd negotiate my own contract (with a
lawyer for legal purposes), and the hell with Slusher, Coleman and the rest of
those money hungry dolts!!!!!!!!!!
