Season over before it starts

If there is no 2020 season, what will determine draft order? Will there just be a giant lottery with complete randomization?

Do you guys realize how many players need game checks to survive?

well yeah... once you fall behind in your child support and your payments on your luxury vehicles, jewelry, high dollar suits and shoes, and paying out your entourage, your stripper ho's, making it rain, blingin wit your homies, and your gold teeth, the struggle becomes more real.

The recommended emergency fun allocation is 3-6 months of living expenses. What a persons living expenses are is irrelevant as long as they set aside 3-6 months of it. If a person doesn't have that it doesn't matter if they spent it on your list or say bass boats, White Claw, golf clubs, Botox injections, hair coloring, ass implants, Britney Spears tickets you know... all the Ken and Barbie sh1t white people blow money on.

Within 30 days of furloughs and paycuts, more than 80% of my office complex were borrowing against their 401Ks.

Burning money is not a racial thing, its a humanity thing, its a society thing that isnt resident with in any one culture. Know why the stimulus checks didn't stimulate the economy? Because 80% or more went to Visa, Mastercard, or Discover as interest.

It doesn't matter how much you make, for most people, your costs eventually rise to parallel your income.

Good post, good points, and a great thought about the humanity thing. I like the sound of it.

Im not sure to what extent it is true, or to what extent your inference from my post is untrue. Im sure there are stats no one dares to research, when you people (ha! an adjective pronoun + subject/ noun - hardly an epithet) cower in fear of offending someone with pancake syrup.

This isnt scientific research; Its a small sample, but its weird that my Jewish friends dont seem to be hurting much. I can get mad at em, or I can learn from them. I live in the Barrio. We dont have a choice but to live below our means.

I guess not, when we're accusing ALL police of being evil, and telling others they're "privileged" because of the color of their skin. Sounds like hate to me. So does beating random people in the street and burning their business. I never gave a damn what color people are.

I didnt describe anything you dont see in every rap video- and these guys are proud of the image. But who confines this to a race? Im sure Asian players are livin large too.

Dont try to scare me with a word. Im not a corporation.

That's some serious over-generalization.

Also, I think you need to look up the definition of bigotry. My post had nothing to do with color of skin. Bigotry exists beyond that. And I'm not trying to scare you. It's pretty blatant in your post.

How do you know? According to the Republicans who successfully passed the law corporations are people. But they can't be punished like people. Hmmm...another double standard?

They discussed this very subject on NFL Radio. The discussion came about when Malcolm Jenkins' interview was mentioned where he said he wouldn't want to play unless he felt safe. They said he was among the handful of NFL players that have been able to place themselves in a financial position to be able to forgo game checks. I believe it was the former Tampa Bay GM, Mark Dominik, that said unfortunately almost all the others players live up to those checks. He said the average career of an NFL player is only three years and while they may be getting paid $500K or $1M, the vast majority of them have spent that money up front on things they had never been able to afford before. Considering only half that check survives taxes they will all be in a major bind if they don't play. They said that unwillingness of players to play would not be a reason behind losing games.

Have you ever seen the documentary BROKE? They actually focused primarily on NBA (fully guaranteed contracts) players losing their earnings so there is definitely credence to your statement as it relates to NFL players.

Blew my mind.
