I'm not familiar with AD himself... his personality off the field. (or on the field for that matter). If it's as you say... that would definitely side me against him since I already think he's WAY out of line holding out. But it does get confusing....
the Rams 'must' have entered into negotiations willingly. Why I can't say.... I see no reason they should have, no 'good' reason... and IMHO that makes AD holding out all that much worse. I would never have, and don't, consider AD 'asking' for some consideration as 'wrong'... I can easily understand that... but then to have the Rams agree, (which they must have since they entered negotiations).. and then STILL holdout looks to be very bad form on AD's part to me.
So anyway... all the above is what you get from someone who has followed this not at all.
Well, other than reading a few Herd Board posts here and there. - JamesJM
