Holdouts are old. Thanks for doing the years on it and putting the number up in your title. It helps make the point.

Heck Faulk held out in 99. The complaints about that action and his character stopped when the 99 season got going. Heck I mention Harrah and Youngblood in part because many of my fellow old Rams fans don't even remember that happened.

A hold out is a protest of the contract situation. These guys aren't chattel. That kind of protest is old, it's a part of the system, and the Rams themselves respect this (which is why they won't fine him and don't trash him).

I heard the same kind of angry comments about about hold outs in 99 when Faulk held out. I didnt' buy it then and I dont now. Plus as I said the complaints stopped once the season got going.
