In case you havent heard, the players strike became official at 4 p. M. Eastern time. I am very sad that the players demands, which center around a rise in the current salary cap, have been rejected by the owners. Now, i have told my Union Brothers to walk. Get me Jimmy Mcginty. Have him here tonight, huh . Yes, sir. [coughing] im here with washington quarterback eddie martel, and, eddie, there are a lot of angry fans out there tonight that feel the plays are being too greedy with their demands. Um, anything youd like to say to that . Yeah, dwight, look, i know 5 million a year sounds like a lot of money, but i have to pay to my agent, 5 to my lawyer. Do you have any idea what insurance costs on a ferrari, mother uh, pat, uh, back to you. Ok, that was washington running back malcolm lamont.

Win 3 out of 4, with replacement players . Thats not too much to ask, is it . You won for me once, you can do it again. Oneil whats the matter, jimmy . Look, nobodys gonna give you a better chance than this. After that dallas mess. I was right about that. Its got nothing to do with being right. You went head to head with an 8 million quarterback. Who the hell did you think was gonna win . Im talking about a team of poor nobodies who play to win, not a bunch of bitchy millionaires. I want total control of my team. I want to be able to recruit anybody that i want, no interference. [clears throat] my word is my bond. Uh, i want it in writing. Ok, jimmy. Ok. Heres a list of people ive been keeping my eye on over the years. Theyve all played football somewhere. Not all of them in the pros, but they all have something unique to bring to the game.
