Several articles (Michael Silver of Yahoo among others) report Panthers owner J Richardson belittled Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and other players asking them what they could know about player safety and if Peyton needed help reading a revenue report. Here's just a little of what's been reported from the mtg:
"Richardson treated the Colts’ quarterback like a dimwitted child. After Manning questioned the financial urgency of the owners’ request in the absence of documentation – a common union refrain – Richardson became agitated and dismissive while lecturing the player about the risks that their employers assume.
“He was condescending to Peyton,” said one player who was at the meeting. “He tried to talk about P&L [profit and loss] statements and all these other risks that the owners assume, as if Peyton didn’t know anything. Drew interrupted and said, ‘All we’re doing is just asking you to show us your books. We want to negotiate in good faith.’”"
Sure hope Goddell keeps Richardson quiet cause he sure isn't helping resolve an already tough situation....
