The difference being Tom Brady wants to win more superbowls and Kaepernick realizes no one else in the league actually wants him.
Didn't Brady also expect them to re-sign his favorite receiving target with the money he allegedly left on the table?

Why any football player would even take a dime less than his market value is a mystery to me. This is the sport where, other than the explicitly guaranteed money line, the contracts might as well be written in crayon. It's also the sport where you could end up drooling all over yourself in old age because your brain resembles a plate of spaghetti.

It's a nice gesture and certainly good for his PR/personal brand or whatever, but how many Super Bowls has Brady won since letting the Patriots keep some of his money? Are agents not explaining this shit to these players?

Brady doesn't have to worry about money. He's an exception to the rule.

Brady is loaded thanks to him and his wife. He has always been generous with his teammates though.

Brady will probably bankroll Hernandez's attorneys since he can't afford them anymore. My wife and my sister-in-law loathe Tommy Boy, but they'd both probably hate fuck him, if they'd admit to it.

Brady's net worth is like $120M and Gisele is worth like $300M. They don't need money and Brady hasn't won a superbowl in a long damn time and I'm sure he would like another ring to cap off his career.

Hopefully Brady plays for a long ass time so we don't see him on TV as a broadcaster too soon.

Still no announcement on who will be on Hard Knocks, but the Browns are for sure not the team. Oh well, that would've been a fun train wreck to watch.

It's because they break down every play and do it scientifically and not "That guy on my team was good 2 year ago so he should be top 10 FOREVER!".
I generally enjoy advanced analytics and hate zealous fans but let's not overstate things. It's not like these guys are uncovering some objective reality about football. They're using the data based on their own completely made up (but thoughtful/educated) idea of what and how things are equivalent and what and how things should be valued (and, even when reviewing each play, there are still judgement calls to be made). Despite all the work, it's still a simplified version of reality that can't possibly take into account all the variables (especially relevant for the NFL when there's only 16 games to draw from for each team). Saying it's scientific is a bit of a stretch.

Unrelated to anything actually important.

The Steelers signed 6th round pick Daniel McCullers. I hope he makes the team just because he's an ogre. 6'8" 350lbs+.

San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick, other players will not face charges in Miami incident - ESPN

Sounds like Kaepernick needs to stop hanging out with crazy chicks.

"When she heard the officers' voices, the complainant started screaming incoherently about Jesus and devils," Adams wrote.

A hotel security officer told police that when he arrived at the room, the woman began praying, "asking God to forgive her of her sins" and began screaming in words the security officer couldn't understand, according to the memo. She banged her head against the walls and started kicking uncontrollably.

Ugh, no. Arthur Blank looks like a seedy car salesman. Every second with him on the screen will be one second of my soul being pulled into the TV to feed his dark powers.
