When I factor in inflation, I have to work harder. When he factors in inflation, he has to demand or expect more money, while running softer. We would be deluded to think that that mindset is going to factor into a more enjoyable football experience for us on the weekends.

Ever heard of Deuce McAllister? Retired at 34 after making +/- 70MMin the NFL.

Today at 45 years old he’s with around 150k at best. That is the REAL world whether you like it or not.

Some of these players come from families that never saw 6 figure income before them and won’t see it after. They are the only shot at generations not needing a scholarship for an education. You might be angry about them getting what they can when they can but I’m not.
