In other news I think passing up Troy Vincent for DeMaurice Smith was easily the biggest mistakes the players union made. Smith continues to insist on going "bull in a china shop" with the courts and taking an extremely adversarial position as opposed to engaging in good faith negotiation.
In fact now that I think about it here's how D. Smith has approached negotiations. Get into a room with the owners/commissioner/etc, owners make a proposal, then rather then make a counter offer Smith storms out and b*****s to the media.
I feel like if Upshaw were still alive he would keep negotiating and simply tell the media that they're working on a deal that works out for both sides (and yes Smoot I know that back in the day Upshaw was a hot head
).
