"Waa waa I don't want to talk to you" is not treating this like a business. It's acting like a child.

At any rate, that part of the discussion is over. You are not going to convince me that churlish behavior on the part of people with no negotiating leverage whatsoever is reasonable. Because it runs contrary to everything I have seen in 30+ years in the business world.

He's now going to get auto-renewed at $550k or whatever instead of the big payday he had coming. So be it.

As for the guy in arbitration, he lost his case. I would have probably given him what he wanted, so he walked away from $350k because of a "bad mood" -- I suppose someone is going to tell me that that also is normal? To not even take the GM's phone call?

And just to make the point again: these guys have AGENTS for a REASON. It is because they are young, inexperienced, too emotional and often make bad choices. The game seeks to be realistic and that should be worked into the equation, IMO.
