Dolfan in NYC Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The anti-"Pay The Players" spokesman has been found. He said “My jersey was one of the top-three selling jerseys in the world, and I didn’t make a dollar from it. But nor did I want to.” He is also blaming a culture of selfishness. And if you haven't figured out it's Tim Tebow by now, I don't know what to tell you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 The NFL is no longer looking to expand its schedule to 18 games, and will instead try to add one more game in the next CBA. The players should still strike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players should still strike. The players don't make enough to strike. I know it sounds crazy, but most of the players in the NFL aren't making enough to skip pay checks. The average salary is about $2.1 million a year, but the outrageous quarterback salaries make that average way higher than it actually is for the majority of the players. The majority of players only play like 3 years and most of those guys are getting paid in the $300-500K range. That's a good ass job, but if you are 22 and have no savings that isn't money you can skip...especially when there is a very good chance that you won't ever have another job that pays that much. They have to get that money while they can, and going on strike is the opposite of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 They already have room in the schedule for it if we all just acknowledge there is absolutely no need whatsoever for 4 fucking preseason games. Cut some of that trash and make some actual big boy games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'll never understand why the NFL doesn't try a revamped version of the "two bye weeks" concept they did once (93ish?) They made some major structural mistakes that year (like the Niners having their weeks consecutively) but now that they are more used to scheduling around a bye week, and we have these London games and similar that byes help with a lot, and a burning desire to expand the schedule... Just add a week, without adding games. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't want to start the regular season before Labor Day or push the Super Bowl deeper into February without the kicker of an extra home game each season or every other season if they would go to 18 or 17 games.

RIPPA Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 What's funny is that a lot of people having been pushing for the NFL to play the Super Bowl on President's Day week so that folks would have the Monday off after the Super Bowl But yeah - they are already rolling the dice weather wise in a lot of places - pushing back two weeks isn't ideal (Not to mention TV wanting the Super Bowl at the start of the month since sweeps is still considered the big February thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 In an interview that's sure to cause some righteous HARUMPFS! and pearl clutching... Percy Harvin has said he smoked marijuana before EVERY game he played.

What is it about Percy Harvin that makes you think he's lying about anything? That dude is just waiting for someone to accuse him of lying so he can have a righteous excuse to punch him in the face. The best part of that interview is his telling of the story where he beat up Golden Tate and threw him in a trash can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You expect one of the legitimately scariest dudes in the history of the league is trying to create a fake tough guy persona? He's Percy Harvin. He's the one dude on that historically crazy Florida team that the entire team agrees is the one you don't want any problems with. Aaron Hernandez was on that team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 JFC is right. If you told me Tim Ryan also went full Calvin Candie and explained that the bumps in Jackson's skull are also different then I would probably believe you. It's going to be 2020 and people in these positions have only become dumber or more bigoted for fucks sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Tom Coughlin and the Jaguars made injury treatment and conditioning mandatory on-site activities. They fined a player $700,000 for doing his own treatments. The player and the NFLPA filed a grievance An arbitrator has, of course, told that old mummy Coughlin that he can't do that shit. You know it's an egregiously bad situation when the weakest union in all pro sports wins a case. (Oh, and the unidentified player in the lawsuit outed himself) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
