there are 120+ college teams, with 80+ players, about 20 graduate each year, so that's about 2400 potential players available each year.
32 pro teams, 53 players each is 1696 players. so you could literally fire the entire league and re-staff it in a heart beat. quality of play you say? you watched college games Saturday. same players. bet you wouldn't even notice the change. |

many moons ago, i had the pleasure of spending some days in SE Wash. DC.
ran into many interesting people at 11am who were just getting going. how many of these players, who care about their "homies" so much are spending their day off in such areas. telling them how to succeed and avoid failure? not many. go to school. get a job. show up on time everyday. do what is asked of you with joy. wash rinse repeat. success! |

This is where we are now. The league itself has on operations manual all 32 teams must adhere to as a matter of course. It's not the "rule book" which would tell us what a holding penalty is, it's just the book that you, as an owner, must adhere to in order to have a franchise.

Just as an example, this is like the PGA having rules of golf (USGA rules) and rules for venues. We all can understand that allowing patrons to spit on players, play a boom box while a guy is teeing off, or allowing flash photography or cut-off shorts for spectators would be a deal-breaker for a venue of a PGA event. That's why there is a separate manual for them, and it doesn't involve the penalty for a lost ball. |

Could it be, in reality, none actually agree with Kaepernick, but are terrified to stand out amongst the KNEE JERKS and the MSM? Hmmmmm... |

and yet they all manage to show up to practice on time, to wear the same outfit, show up for games on time, and abide by a myriad of other rules. including no cell phones 90 prior to kickoff. no children in the huddle. no hitting the beer stand during a timeout. no sitting in the stands during halftime......
but....no one has the guts to tell these employees "you will stand respectfully, as you have done since you were about 8 and putting on pads to play ball." and if that is too hard for you to do, then the exit is over there. enjoy your nachos. |

sponsors are in the business to sell product and make money. how many want to be the one with the dis-respectful player when they are trying to sell a car to a veteran or even just a patriotic citizen. you can love your country without having been in military service. really.

and now Little Ben is sorry. sort of.
Ben Roethlisberger Regrets Steelers Boycotting Anthem; Trump Supports Fan Boos | Hollywood Reporter Ben, you are the leader of the team. lead them out to stand for the nat'l anthem. and if someone doesn't want to do that, then you have a leadership problem. after all, when you call a play, you expect them to run that play as best they can. you don't have 1/2 the team running a passing play and the other half running a rushing play. go back and lead your team. and make Pittsburgh proud. |

My wife reminded me I need to remove my Chicago Bears license plate frame from my vehicle. I'll do that. I've had one on one of my vehicles since 1990 or so.

and now i read that some players are protesting Trump?
this will fizzle out. they have no coherent message. some don't even know why they are protesting or what they are protesting. they are just protesting because their buddy is. i'd love for some news type to ask one "what are you protesting?" and wait for the confusion to spew forth. |

NFL Sunday ratings dropped after Trump NFL comments - Business Insider
Since most tickets are probably season tickets, we won't really see impact in the stadiums until next season. The NFL just went full Mizzou. Never go full Mizzou. The Kneelaz with Attitude and their enablers have chosen poorly. |
