<<It's not about the money, it's about respect.>>

Respect is a 2 way street.  Bobby is a big boy or he thinks he is hence he
should have not been surprised at anything the Devils organization said at
arbitration.  If he was surprised then I know why he has that scar across
his noggin...mishandled lobotomy :/

<<You cannot keep guys that make 4.5 million a year from making 7 or 8 when
they can go get it easily.>

Then let them go elsewhere.

<<I hate how everyday people bitch and moan, but you know what? If we were
in his  
position we would do the exact same shit.>>

Speak for yourself...10 years ago I was offered a job in NYC at $150K and
turned it down and kept my $45K a year job because I hate the city and
refused to commute there.  Some people have scruples and beliefs and are
not solely money driven...there is more to life...athletes lost that
concept along the way somewhere.

<<Just like ALex Rodriguez did, people boo him for taking the money. I
would really love to see one of us keep a $50,000 a year job, when you can
go make $200,000 for doing the same thing. But since these guys make
millions you guys come down hard on them. That doesn't make sense to me.>>

Obviously you are more enamoured with money than principle.  As for your
$50K example look at previous reply...I say again...speak for yourself.

<<Holik deserves what he asked for. I also don't understand why every other
teams' fans understand and give Holik respect he deserves, but 90% of
Devils Fans have no respect for the one of the hardest workers on our team,
and a guy who has been here forever. And Lou compared him to Travis fucking
Green??????????? Might as well compare Holik to Brendan  
Morrison.>>

Devils fans don't dispute his work but rather his attitude.  Forever...give
it a break...he was a freaking Whaler when he started...Green vs. Holik is
a better comparison if you look at the number of years they are in the
league...Morrison is no comparison.

I bet you will be first in line to buy those $90 lower bowl season tickets
and other stuff to pay for these salaries you think the players are
dew...right????  I mean their salaries dew not come out of Lou's personal
savings account :/
