Michael "The Cry-Baby" Crabtree

Really Michael? You honestly think that you deserve more money at the #10 spot in the draft than Darrius Heyward-Bay just because Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay thought you would be drafted before him? You are ridiculous.

For those of you just tuning in, Michael Crabtree is threatening to sit out the entire 2009 NFL season and re-enter the 2010 draft if he doesn't get more guaranteed money than someone who was picked BEFORE him in the draft. And it is all because ESPN pundits predicted that Crabtree would go higher in the draft then he actually did. Wow. That is all I could really think to say when I first heard the news about this. I was, and still am, shocked and dumbfounded that this is even taking place. That would be like someone saying "GamerX scored 27 TD's with me in Madden last year. I want my money to reflect that!"

Let's look at it another way, Michael. Let's say you were projected to be drafted in the 6th or 7th slot but went as the Number 1 overall pick. You weren't projected to go first overall. The team is only going to offer you what your projected pick was. Do you see how this works, Michael? You get picked in a spot and you get your contract based on the ACTUAL PICK! Is ESPN going to have to put up a disclaimer every time "The Hair" and "The Idiot" debate where people will go in the draft? Warning: The picks guessed by these two men are not necessarily where the player will actually be picked. They are just guesses. Unbelievable.

Apparently, Crabtree is going on advice from his Adviser (cousin) and friends (people that want free money from him). You want my advice Mike? Quit listening to the knuckle-heads around you, sign the damn contract they offered you, get your ass to camp and make the millions of dollars I will never see. I work a full-time job AND a part-time job and will never come close to making $1 Million dollars in a year, let alone the $20 Million you're going to get guaranteed. Your car is going to be worth more than the house I will buy when I get married. Every teacher you ever had, who gave you the education you now have, combined, their salaries won't add up to what you will make in a year. AND YOU'VE NEVER EVEN PLAYED A DOWN OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL!

You are a spoiled athlete who thinks he deserves everything but has earned nothing. You made one, count it ONE, great play in college and you think you should be handed the world on a silver platter. I hope you do sit out this year. I hope you do nothing and the NFL world forgets all about you and you sit there on draft day next year and you hear pick, after pick, after pick, none of them calling your name. The 49ers are willing to give you money that will last you the rest of your life but instead, you want a few million more. You are basically spitting in their face and telling them the money they've offered you isn't good enough. I'll tell you one thing, you better really keep this hold out going because if you sign, and Mike Singletary gets a chance to have you on his practice field, he is going to chew you up, spit you out and stomp on your remains. I only wish I could have the chance to do the same.
