Are some of you high and living in some fantasy world in which the best player on the team shouldn't look after his own personal financial interest and instead just sign over his future to Mike Brown regardless of outcome? While I'm certainly no fan of multi-millionaire players leveraging a bit of talent to shaft an entire fan base the fact of the matter is it's been going on for a long time now and isn't going away simply because these players perhaps upset your sensibilities of fairness and money. "TRADE HIM!", but to who and for what? Just because you might want a trade doesn't mean it'll happen and Mike Brown isn't exactly known as the master trader. In fact it could be argued that Mike Brown is the anti-trader of anti-traders. In what world do you see the Brown family making a great trade that benefits the team and fans in any significant way?
