"When I came in the league it was about earning your money, justifying your job," said Rice. "I always believed once you sign a contract, you're obligated to it. Or you work it out in-house. Michael Crabtree wants the money up front — before he ever puts on the uniform."

Jerry Rice on "Diva" WRs

When the GOAT talks, you listen.

Brandon Marshall, he figures, wouldn't have dared to drop balls under Bill Walsh.
There'd be no suspension, said Rice. "He'd have been on the first Greyhound home."

A good quote and a good read.

It does but Marshall was just used as a point of reference. I'm sure there are plenty of diva WRs that it was intended to include but didn't mention by name.

Fitz is a true class act, that's why everyone loves him.

You think Crabs is going to read that? Jerry should go to his house and slap him in the face.

Fitz to me is about the best example out there of a great WR who just does things right. It's similiar to what Bellichek said about Brusci yesterday. He just does the
right thing.

That's not true. Ronnie Lott would have probably socked him one first and he would have straightened out. When you have leaders like that on your team, players don't act dumb.
