i am suing darrelle revis! he owes me big time! allow me to lay out my case before this court of readers. i'm sure you would agree.
revis hold out day 1 -
so...little known fact about me, i am an agent for professional athletes in the off-season. surprised? i know. anyway, i'm just chillin one day eating a cheeseburger and some fries when revis hits me up saying that he wants to renegotiate his contract. so i wiped my greasy hands off on my suit and got in my car to drove to the airport. when i got to new york, i got a cab and the cab driver didn't speak english and dropped me off at the trump international hotel. i knew it was pricy but it started raining so i went ahead and checked into an executive suite (the only room available at the time...that i liked.)
rolling total:
unfinished burger: $7
suit: $800
airline ticket: $737
hotel for 1 day: $1600
revis hold out day 2 & 3 -
so revis reveals to me that he's tryna get paid so i told him that i needed to do some research on what's the best way to get my client the money he feels he deserves. that's when i noticed my w.w.j.m.d. (what would jerry mcguire do) wristband. that's when i knew i had to brush up on my skills so i popped in the jerry mcguire dvd. so on day 3, revis and i went into the meeting with the jets confident that we were going leave out of there with a deal. so i said, "show me the money!" they kicked me out and told revis that nothing had been decided and rescheduled the next meeting for a week out.
rolling total:
dvd rental: $12
meeting fee: $500
getting kicked out of the meeting fee: $300
hotel for 2 days: $3200
revis hold out day 9-13 -
okay, jerry mcguire didn't work. it hasn't yet but as they say persistence breaks resistence. so i changed it up and came up with a couple of slogans. so on day 9 we went in to hear the offer they had in mind. 5 year contract extension, $18 million, $10 million guaranteed. terrible! so i threw out the saying that i thought best described revis' game:
darrelle revis - the o.j. simpson of defensive backs!
they didn't like that and asked us to leave. i guess they didn't appreciate the metaphor. i was only referring to the amount of takeaways revis intends to have this coming season. get it? interceptions. robbery. i know...genius! so i came up with another one.
the mike vick of cornerbacks!
get it? corner. quarter. that one didn't go over to well either. it sucks when u try to turn a negative into a positive and no one gets it. i didn't mean that he would kill your dog. geez.
rolling total:
late dvd fee: $60
meeting fee: $500
getting kicked out of the meeting again fee: $1800
hotel for 13 days: $20,800
revis hold out day 34-
after i got kicked out the last meeting, i had a great idea. i told revis he should turn his phone off for three weeks and see how good of an offer he might get. after he turned on his phone and checked his messages, he fired me. the jets were about to pull out of negotiation and trade him. so i got my stuff and went to the nearest bar and checked out by calling the hotel.
rolling total:
hotel for 34 days: $54,400
holding the room on a cancelled credit card fee: $8160
you shouldn't have fired me fee: $whateveridecide
revis hold out day 35-
revis calls my phone and realizes that he's sitting 5 people down from me. i was still in the bar so i didn't have to pay and leave. (liquor in n.y. is expensive) anyway, i was wasted again and started singing a song i made for revis:
"if i had a nfl team
first thing would be the first thing
i would sign darrelle revis
for 30 something guaranteed
minus my small fee"
all of a sudden, revis hugs me and calls me a genius. he picks up my tab and takes me to the airport and pays for my flight home.
fees: none
revis hold out day 36-
about noon i'm watching espn and i see that revis signs a deal for $46 mil with $32 mil guaranteed. wtf.
so that's why we're here. you've heard my case. i think i deserve to at least recover my fees which add up to a grand total: $4.6 million
and i better get my money. i hope he pulls a hamstring or something.
