And I guess I’d have replied ”I expected a vacuous retort” but we managed to avoid more snarkiness….yay! Us.

You’re projecting; it has nothing to do with “orange glasses”. I don’t keep up with Jennings and know next to nothing about his NFL career. All I need to know is that he’s seeking security and more $ beyond this season, that this is common practice in the NFL, and that the 49ers agreed he’s of...

I see one person tried to analogize Nico’s NIL with NFL contracts but they’re entirely different. NIL can’t even require the player to be on a team, while NFL contracts are performance based. One is an employee while the other is not. It’s an analogy fail. JJ asking for more $ and a longer...

There is no playing both sides; while collective bargaining provides some support, the contract T/Cs determine performance metrics and define benefits/status in an injury scenario. He can be benched. If his stock falls so low he no longer has a place on the team, he can join Josh Dobbs on the...

Contracts are made to renegotiate as circumstance changes for either party. Every person who asks for a raise is literally renegotiating, and the best reason for it is because you’ve become more valuable, not simply because you managed to breathe another year and perform at the same level for a...

But that guy was a TFL, Tider for Life. What higher purpose could a person possibly serve?

McCoy was injured while practicing; ‘on the job’ as detractors like to frame it. Anybody here who didn’t still get paid after a work injury? Anyone here pay back your employer for wages and bennies while not working? Anyone’s employment agreement stipulate those terms? Employers carry...

Smokey with the double…

Oddly enough, everyone else is talking sports without turning disagreement into a physical challenge.

The paychecks have been coming from 3rd party entities to use their NIL to market products/services, and cannot be anchored to play. Fans protesting that don’t seem to understand the schools & NCAA perpetuate it, still trying to protect their hegemony - their franchise - by not entering...

Try looking in the mirror while convincing yourself guys on a forum know what McCoy should have done. Even if he could have played some, why would fans demand that he jeopardize a career making money forum schmucks only dream of? Mostly a bunch of jealous lunkheads who‘ve had trouble...

Are we shunning the players who transfer out, transfer in, or both?

Yeah, it tells us the type and severity of McCoy’s and your ACL were exactly alike. Online assertions are easy.

I’m beginning to think no one is more corrupt and self-serving than college football fans.
