Mike Brown held on to CP to win an argument at the cost of the players who remained. If Al Davis doesn't keel over and if Jason Campbell doesn't get hurt we don't get anything for CP. And guess what happens to Mike Brown if he plays it tough and ends up getting nothing for Carson?
NOTHING. Nothing happens, because he's the owner. Say what you want about his ability to negotioate, BUT he answers to no one when he's wrong. And he's been pretty wrong over the years. Unless you think his "negotiation power" of refusing to give Bill Cowher any personnel control, thus landing us Dave Shula, is some sort of admirable, no-nonsense decider kind of pap.
Do you admire all the stupid crap Jerry Jones does because no one is allowed to argue with him, too?
