Comments on: Player Reps Should Initiate New Search Process This Weekend http://retiredplayers.org/2009/03/12/player-reps-should-initiate-new-search-process-this-weekend/ Covering NFL Player Issues Wed, 18 Aug 2010 23:33:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Steve Thurlow http://retiredplayers.org/2009/03/12/player-reps-should-initiate-new-search-process-this-weekend/comment-page-1/#comment-705 Steve Thurlow Sat, 14 Mar 2009 01:31:32 +0000 http://retiredplayers.org/?p=604#comment-705 I understand that Pat Richter has done some consulting during the past few months with the NFLPA. Having played with and known Pat for the past 40 years, I believe, if interested, he would be an excellent Executive Director during this extremely crucial period. His experience as a corporate executive and Wisconsin Athletic Director as well as a law degree pale in comparison to his professionalism and integrity. He might be a perfect compromise to what appear to be questionable choices. I understand that Pat Richter has done some consulting during the past few months with the NFLPA.

I'm not questioning his years of service and how many players benefited from his leadership, but it came at a price. If you checked compensation I wonder who made recommendations as to what was fair and reasonable? Maybe the current staff? Any way you look at all the challenges to our economy may have an impact on Professional Sports in the future. Before final decision is made make sure all areas are addresed in the search and make sure that no one person can have so much control going forward. We live in the greatest country in the world and with all it's faults everyone needs to be given the facts bedfore a final decision is made.

They want to continue to manipulate & control the Union. I vote for Troy Vincent If there was an investigation of only one candidate, then the power brokers are afraid of equity in the decision making process.

I vote for Troy Vincent
