Veteran Baltimore Ravens kicker Matt Stover thinks it’s time for executive director of the NFL Players Ass. Gene Upshaw, to be replaced.

Stover’s action comes at a time when the union could be heading for critical negotiations with the league on the collective bargaining agreement.

I feel that the board must begin to prepare for a change in leadership immediately,” Stover said in an e-mail to the union’s executive board and player representatives that was obtained Tuesday by ESPN. “I believe we have the proper environment with our teammates and leadership within the board to execute the process of this selection.

Upshaw has a contract through 2010. The non-popular executive has said he will not leave until the union gets through its latest negotiations with the owners.

This bold move just launched Matt Stover into our top kicker seed for this years fantasy draft. You won’t catch Adam Vinatieri, Ryan Longwell, or David Akers leading this campaign. The kids got balls.
