Less Budget for Shredding This Year at NFLPA
A while ago, we discovered through the NFLPA’s 2007 LM-2 filing that they had spent $12,461 that year for document shredding, just ahead of the Players Inc. lawsuit. (Read that story by clicking HERE.) (We’re anxiously awaiting the release of the 2008 LM-2 to look for new spending goodies from last year.)
But it looks like the NFLPA may not have to pay as much for shredding in 2009. Early this morning, before new Executive Director DeMaurice Smith made it into his office from a long trip out to San Francisco meeting with the 49′ers players (after a weekend in Palm Springs at the NFLPA confab), a fire started in a bathroom adjoining Smith’s office and there was a lot of water damage from the automatic sprinklers, according to an NFLPA press release now on the newswire.
We don’t seem to ever recall anything like this in the entire 25-year reign of Gene Upshaw so it’s a little suspicious. There’s probably more than one insider at the NFLPA who might be worried about their job under the new Executive Director. (Read the press release on ESPN HERE.) Mr. Smith, you may have more to worry about from behind than from what you see in front of you.

My concern is that there are very little – if any – benefits for non-vested players. What can be done about that?

You remind me of a pit bull relentlessly locked onto a piece of meat. You won’t give it up and and they can’t get it away from you. You are their worst nightmare and you’re smart and you will win because you have the benefit of righteousness.
