I hope Bell gets a Super Bowl as I actually still like the guy and feel he just wanted to get paid and Steelers weren't ever going to give it to him. Those two still sort of set the modern day precedent for acting up and having it somehow put you in a better situation, atleast as far as chance to win a Super Bowl compared to Jets and Raiders. Brown still punted away alot of money.
Obviously taken from the NBA but yeah, for NFL them and OBJ were kinda 1st guys to bring the "player empowerment" era to NFL.
They were the best at their positions when they did it but still hard to have much leverage if you aren't a QB.
It'll be interesting to see if more QB's try to force their way out of situations now.
