Dear Dunta Robinson

During Sunday’s game — a 24-7 loss to the Jets — you wore shoes with the words “Pay me Rick” written on them, a reference to Texans general manager Rick Smith and your contract squabbles.

But as a result, whatever money problems you have just got worse, as the Texans have fined you 25 large. They say it’s because you sent the wrong message. I say it’s because you dropped a comma.

You wanted to write, “Pay me, Rick” instead of “Pay me Rick.” The latter indicates you wanted to be paid not dollars but Rick, which probably just confused team management.

Contract demands — especially those written on shoes — always benefit from clarity.
