Quotes by Richard Berthelsen

“That was one game. And that was Andy Reid making the decision.”

“I think the arbitrator chose to accept not only the Eagles version of the evidence, but I think he went even further and pieced the evidence together in a way that it really didnt involve. He describes all of the events leading up to the suspension, but ignored the fact that Terrell was a model citizen from the week he was gone in training camp until Nov. 3. If you view, as (Bloch) did, the one week (Reid) sent (Owens) home as a form of discipline, that wiped out all prior conduct.”

“The players have done extremely well.”

“If the arbitrator rules our way, were looking at damages that were occurred. Things we would be looking at is the final year of his contract.”

“The Eagles told Terrell, the arbitrator, and the media that Terrell would be paid for the balance of this year when he returned from his suspension, and now they are instead withholding his pay. We therefore filed this grievance both for his protection and that of players generally, who deserve to have their CBA . . . enforced as written.”

“We ended with no agreement and were headed back to Washington. Its no deal.”

“We essentially reversed the T.O. decision for any future cases.”

“The league is challenging the offer sheet. But theres nothing in the (collective bargaining agreement) that prohibits this from happening.”

“That would not apply in this case, because the monetary terms are the same. This is not a case where the money is different, so we say that it should have the same result as Wofford.”
