It turns out that Vincent Jackson and Logan Mankins may, indeed, be a couple of "douchebags" after all.

(Hat tip to our friends at Bleeding Green Nation for the link.)
So, the CBA is being held up in an effort to get $20 million dollars for a couple of guys that feel as though they've been wronged by the system. The same system that is going to, in theory, a) give them $10 million each, and b) allow them to explore free agency to make even more.
Man alive, I sure do wish the system would wrong me in such a way.
Both of these guys sat out half of last season in protest of being tagged, in case anyone had forgotten that tiny detail.
I guess Chris Kluwe knew what he was talking about after all.
