Truly being rich to me is knowing you can live to be 100 and when you die you still have enough to be subject to the federal estate tax. That is not 99% of football players who make $10M in their 20s and need to make it last for the next 50-60 years. It's not about feeling sorry for them, I...
It's a perception problem with fans just as much as players. Truly being rich is not the same thing as having a very well paying job for a short period. The solid but not really memorable players who might make 5 million dollars over 8 or 9 years are basically upper middle class doctors and...
No one has an asterisk. I don't think football has even had arealcheating scandal yet. Like figure skating, baseball, cycling, etc. If Spygate, cheap shot bounties, and deflated footballs are the worst we've seen so far wait until the first head coach is caught betting on games. Or when the...
Sapp's wikipedia article sure is a trip down memory lane. That hit on Chad Clifton is still just unreal in how blatantly dirty it was. I hope he told the cops to "put a jersey on" when they were booking him. Fellow shithead LaVar Arrington threatened him if he came running through the...
I don't see why he would "save" Lynch for an easy walk in touchdown on a pass defense look that was clearly never going to happen. 3 chances to punch it in...go with the horse you rode to the Super Bowl all 3 times. If you lose the game on downs so be it.
He said the play was called because New England brought their goal line package in. What else would be out there given the threat of Lynch and Wilson running the ball?
Really classy getting your ass ejected with 18 seconds left in the Super Bowl. Is anyone in the world surprised that Seattle has a bunch of bad losers? Busting up a victory formation with punches thrown...great bunch of guys, Pete.
27-21 Patriots. Not fully convinced either way, but if New England can get points on the board early like GB did I am totally convinced that the best coach in football doesn't piss the whole thing away like we saw at the end of that game.
I hate the fact that there are so many days between the conference titles and the Super Bowl. Big game or not, there's just not enough substance to talk about for 2 weeks. Hence the retarded "storylines" they try and push and this year's entry of watching security footage of a guy walking into...
Hoping NYC is back in business after tomorrow, have a flight into JFK on Wednesday morning. Crazy looking storm though, 3 days ago this was a shitty little clipper system that wasn't supposed to do much.
I don't understand why so many people can't see the obviously reasonable middle ground with the Patriots. Talking about asterisks or anything like that is pants on head retarded but it really would be nice if they could knock this shit off and just adhere to the rule book. Because yes, the best...
If it's a stupid rule that all 32 teams ignore, fine, but you still get a ticket if you're the one the state trooper pulls over for going 10 over when everyone else on the highway is doing the same thing. And the fines and penalties get worse if they keep catching you breaking rules. It shows...
And that is why the Patriots need to be flayed alive this time. I think the NFL honestly needs to look at taking their entire 2015 draft. No picks. It's not so much the impact that the altered balls had on the game but the effort that was put into knowingly scheming around the officials. It's...
Would it even be possible for Bond villian Belichick to ensure that only the Patriots offense got to use the deflated balls? If anything, cool story...now people know how NFL ball procedures work?
Right, it's two different eras of football. Joe had to deal with big hits and his receivers getting mugged more but Brady has literally had people Bill found at Walmart playing on offense at times. They've had to let tons of guys go because of cap management, etc.
Impossible to compare, imo.
The Jets also had like $45M in unused cap space this season because Idzik wanted to make sure Rex had a roster that would get him fired. With that toxic idiot gone I feel like Rex could have done well in NY, even if they made him keep Geno for another season.
