"you've never paid the luxury tax." "quite frankly, if i'd paid the luxury tax, you ass, i'd be even more clueless than you about what the luxury tax is, what bird rights are, and how the cap can be exceeded, legally." YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE PLAYERS ON YOUR TEAM BEFORE YOU CAN EXCEED THE CAP BY RE-SIGNING THEM!!!!!! you cannot simply pluck a player out of free agency and sign them to a deal if you don't have room. who should we have exercised bird rights on, jerk-off? i'm speaking to chris broussard, btw
