One of the officials for SB50 will be Field Judge, Boris Cheek. Why does this information matter at all to fans?

If you were wondering what Boris Cheek does(did) while he's not a ref, he teaches at a local high school in Charlotte, Ardrey Kell HS. 

How do I know this? Well I go to Ardrey Kell HS and I have seen him in the halls several times before (always wanted to have a class with him). 

Who knows? Maybe Boris Cheek (or Mr. Cheek for that matter lol) will give his hometown a few calls in our favor if the game depends on it. 

Probably he will keep it on a professional level and have no bias.

Remember this is Colorado we're talking about. You have to specify whether you mean a high school teacher or a high schoolteacher.

(both are possible)

lol

 

On topic, I went to AK a couple years ago and I've heard he's a cool guy. I remember him making a questionable call against us a few years back though so I;m not sure how bias he will be

While we are on the topic of interesting facts.

It hasn't been in the media but Roger Goodell was at our NFC championship game. It makes me wonder why he was at our game and not at the AFC game. Anyone have an opinion as to why that might be?

Surprising honestly, considering Denver v New England is one of the most traditionally beautiful matchups in the NFL. However, JR is one of the most influential owners in the league and has shown his support for the League throughout, even when us fans would love to see a Panther at midfield.

JR has also been a big backer of the LA deal, so that may play a part.

It was probably to avoid the deflategate conversation. If Brady had won as everyone expected, there would have been that whole "In your face Goodell; look how motivated Brady is now" thing going on.

And the Commish probably didn't want to talk to Brady (if NE had won).

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
