FSH: THIS WEEK'S KNUCKLE-HEAD

This Week’s Knuckle-Head

"that's turrible"

Too Good for His Own Good

How Much is Enough?
Since when does anyone get paid for doing nothing? And how can anyone demand so much without having proved a thing? I guess the Niner’s rookie Michael Crabtree doesn’t having any trouble answering these questions or understanding them; that’s why the talented rookie receiver remains a holdout.

The former Texas Tech Red Raider was selected 10th overall in the 2009 NFL draft and his arrival to the league has been anything but eventful. Crabtree has yet to join the team in training camp and there doesn’t appear to be any current timetable for his joining the team.

I’m sure the Niners never figured this dilemma into their plans and now they have their top draft pick sitting at home and looking at possibly holding out all season long. Crabtree is clearly looking for the big-coin this season, when he has yet to play a single down. With a team looking for that great playmaker to make a difference, holding out for that big contract sure doesn’t seem to be the smart move here. If Crabtree were signed and playing there’s no doubt that at some point in his future he’d have the opportunity to cash in on that big pay day.

Since when did all of nothing become more than part of something. Someone needs to tell Crabtree if he signs for less, that he’ll make more than he will sitting at home. He is this week’s knucklehead.
