      XPost: alt.sports.football.pro.phoe-cardinals, alt.politics.equality,       alt.stupidity       XPost: soc.culture.african.american       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              Remember when the Arizona Cardinals removed the "homework" clause from       quarterback Kyler Murray's contract after the clause was reported by the       media?              The team should have kept it according to some comments from a teammate of       Murray's.              An anonymous teammate of Murray's recently told Michael Silver, writing       for Bally Sports, that "it was like they created a monster," after the       quarterback signed his five-year, $230.5 million extension with Arizona       over the summer.              The teammate, called a "Cardinals veteran" in Silver's story, wasn't done.              Silver wrote in the story: "Once paid, the veteran said, Murray felt less       compulsion to study his game plan or to fulfill the expectations of the       franchise QB position than he had in the past, and the Cardinals’ collapse       felt predictable."              Reaction:Arizona Cardinals' Michael Bidwill under scrutiny for Kyler       Murray coach 'input' comment              Murray's deal made him one of the highest paid quarterbacks, and players,       in the NFL.              It was not without controversy, however.              The contract included an addendum that required at least four hours per       week of studying the team's opponent each week of the season, according to       reports.              The clause was slammed throughout the league before, and after, it was       removed from his contract.              "After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the       contract," a Cardinals statement said. "It was clearly perceived in ways       that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as       it’s ever been and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead       this team more than the commitment reflected in this contract."              Murray responded to the clause after the team removed it.              "To think that I can accomplish everything that I've accomplished in my       career, and not be a student of the game and not have that passion and not       take this serious is disrespectful," Murray told the media. "And it's       almost a joke. To me, I'm flattered... that you all think that at my size,       I can go out there and not prepare for the game and not take it serious.       It's disrespectful, I feel like, to my peers, to all the great athletes       and great players that are in this league. This game is too hard to play       the position that I play in this league. It's too hard."              He continued: "I'm not 6-7, 230 (pounds). I don't throw the ball 85 yards.       I'm already behind the eight ball. And I can't afford to take any       shortcuts, no pun intended. But those things you can't accomplish if you       don't take the game serious, if you don't prepare the right way. And, you       know, it's like I said, it's laughable."              He wasn't done.              "I refuse to let my work ethic, my preparation be questioned. I've put an       incomprehensible amount of time and blood, sweat, tears and work into what       I do," Murray said. "To those of you out there that believe that I'd be       standing here today in front of you all without having a work ethic ...       I'm honored that you think that, but it doesn't exist. It's not possible."              What's next?:Kyler Murray's NFL career will be defined by his 'reset' and       how he responds to new coach              Murray recently had surgery for a torn ACL and its unsure whether he will       be back for the start of the Cardinals' 2023 season.              Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill recently said that the QB would have       "input" in the team's search for a new coach, a comment that came under       scrutiny.              Just like Murray apparently is under for his work ethic once again.              Somers:Making Kyler Murray contractually obligated to do homework is a       terrible idea                     --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J.

Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
