Bryant's is a five-year, $11.8 million contract that includes $8.5 million in guarantees.

I'm sorry, but for that kind of bank I'll carry Roy's pads, jock strap and clean his pot bellied pig's litter box.

Right. I think the major distinction here is that this is his career, not a social activity. If anything, it's workplace harassment, not hazing...and I think carrying equipment (even someone else's) could easily fall under "job description". He's not the first office newbie to get the crap job...only it's not making coffee or doing the filing or taking out the trash. Same idea, though.

That's how I feel about it. Whatever, he could've just been trying to set a precedent to let the veterans know he won't be a gopher. And I can see the sense in that...but on the other hand most of us face a little flack as the new person in the office, and for seven figures I'd be glad to play the fool for a while.

I know what you are saying, but my peace on the situation in regards to pledging professional athletics is the same as folks in the band pledging their section.

I'm sorry none of those people are signing my checks, nor giving me my scholarship. I owe you nothing except my on the field work.

Personally I no man should have to carry Roy Williams pads.

Miles Austin on the other hand, if he has another G season, you better step up Rook, you ain't earned nothing. LOL

Roy may not even be there by the end of training camp
