In no way am I defending them, but I don't know if we have all the facts.

If the players are paid by the FFA grant, when is that transferred to the Jets? How closely is the business running hand-to-mouth that it can't afford to pay the wages without the grant? That's certainly not an ideal situation for any business.

I continue to think this is simply a matter of the herald pushing a "convenient" story. But Murphy will be judged by his actions and from the appearances, he hasn't passed this one.

I certainly feel for the players and the staff. I'd be pissed off if I were in that situation.
