Rich KleinEspecially when it came to taking care of our football legends: He was a really good union head for those years he ran the union
1) From 1987 to the present -- there were no work stoppages
2) I don't have the numbers in front of me, and I'm not going to look them up, but the salary cap exploded since it was implemented. I believe the number is three times as high as it was in 1993. I'm sure that almost every working man or woman would be thrilled with a triple in the past 15 years.
3) Benefits such as a 401K guarantee and more guaranteed money for signing were part of what Upshaw accomplished.
4) Yes, I know about the retired players issue and there is no doubt that more should have been done for them. But before one spouts, one should know the facts
