Kluwe Calls NFL Plaintiffs 'Selfish, Greedy'

Oct 9, 2014 5:19 PM

Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has pointed a finger at the players listed as plaintiffs in the player's antitrust suit against the NFL. Kluwe used Twitter to bash plaintiffs in the lawsuit who reportedly are pushing for compensation before settling the case, a power move that some speculate could delay the finalization of a new collective bargaining agreement. "Sigh, and once again greed is the operative byword," Kluwe posted under his Twitter handle, @chriswarcraft, on Tuesday. "Congrats Brees, Manning, Mankins, and Jackson for being 'that guy'. #douchebags." When reached Tuesday, Kluwe said he thought carefully about his tweet and simply expressed his feelings on the issue. "We're so close (to a new CBA), and to jeopardize it for something like that, it seems greedy and selfish," Kluwe said. "It paints players in a bad light. As far as I know, since it is a class-action suit, it's all of us that are being represented."

Manning, Brees Not Seeking Special Treatment

Oct 9, 2014 5:51 PM

Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are not seeking separate settlements in the Brady vs. NFL antitrust lawsuit that's part of the on-going labor negotiations between owners and players, said the agent for both players. "Asserting anything else is nonsense," agent Tom Condon said. "Drew and Peyton have been two of the staunchest supporters of the players throughout this process. "What they are doing is endorsing the players' (bargaining position), not pursing anything individually."

Bush Family Takes Back Heisman

Sep 25, 2014 6:34 PM

Reggie Bush's family has taken back a copy of his 2005 Heisman Trophy from a San Diego sports museum. The San Diego Hall of Champions returned the trophy to the family on Friday. The museum received the trophy from the family in March, but never displayed it. Bush relinquished his title as Heisman winner last year after an NCAA probe concluded that he and his family accepted improper benefits from would-be sports agents while Bush was still playing for USC.
