What ticks me off is when players getting paid what they get paid complain about the dangers they face and they deserve this kind of money Accept the dangers of working in your profession just like everyone else and stop crying about justification. If they got payed based on the dangers faced compared to all other professions they would get about 100k a year and that is being generous. The icing on the cake for me was the NFL players voting down life time insurance for the cash up front. Leaving players like Swann hanging out on there own for the most part. They also stiffed the retired players in this vote. Jim Brown Highlights Gap Between Current and Retired N.F.L. Players - The New York Times Thus a bunch of greedy cry babies in my book. Roger is a capitalist in its purest form and the owners just love it. I can not blame him for it but his greed is getting to the point he destroying the game. |

Re: London 2017
London = GREED!!! More money for the owners! Don't forget they want to expand games in Mexico too.

Re: London 2017
Yep! I'll be there! That's assuming I can get a ticket. They sell out so fast, especially when the Dolphins are over here!

Yet another reason the NFL ratings are plummeting.

Re: London 2017
I do sympathise with you guys in the US who are losing games to watch because they are being played in the UK, but while they are still being played over here we are going to go, because as easy as it was to arrange these games for us to see, knowing how the NFL works they could, for whatever reason, be taken away!

Re: London 2017
Rehab the NFL brand?
Start with getting rid of the color rush uniforms and blacklisting every stupid MFer that made that happen... How many flatscreens are still trying to color adjust after that Seattle game, eh? |
