I don't know if Murray has good work habits and study habits or not. But putting that clause in his contract screams that the team feels he does. And the specificity really screams it. Not only do they have to make him do it, they have to define it.

But it is such poor form for a team to do this publicly to the player they consider to be the best on their team. Almost feels like if they want to move on from him in the future they can invalidate the contract with claims he did not study and it would be heresay unless they have someone watching him do it.

My understanding is that it was leaked, so if you give Ari the benefit of the doubt, they didn't do publicly.
skeptical myself but idk.

LOL, leaks are done purposely.

Whatever it takes (within reason) to light a fire under a slacker is generally, as Martha Stewart would say, "a good thing"...

The Cards removed the study clause from Murray’s contract

Slacker, in this case, is a relative term:
many of these guys are so driven, they spend their idle time working out and studying opponents;
they also have an extremely high pain tolerance and the mental fortitude to push on when the lactic acid burn is no longer pleasurable.

Murray (not our beloved Kenneth) probably has a good work ethic, it just isn't stratospheric.
Tillery's is also probably good.....the problem is that the competition's is much better.

Can't wait to see the schedule release next year if we play the Cards again.

Lactic acid burn isn’t my idea of pleasure.
