Not sure if this was already posted, didn’t see it anywhere. 

Apparently JT is among the many parents who will be steering their children away from football. He stated it pretty clearly at a presser... wonder if Goodell wishes they were paying someone else to perform at HThttp://abcnews.go.com/Sports/justin-timberlake-son-play-football/story?id=52773767

Because kids always make well thought out choices.

It's still their choice. Don't hold them back from their dreams. I would've been pissed at my parents if they never let me played. I had been wanting to since I was in first grade. Team sports is great at building character anyway and a way to learn to cooperate well with others. Not to mention the exercise. There's still a lot more good to come from football.

I don’t blame him. As a former player (like I’m sure most of us) and a HS coach, I don’t know if I’d push any future sons to play football. I think there are other sports that teach life lessons just as well as football  that are much cheaper and safer.

Wait until he realizes that the harder you push someone, especially your child away from something the more they gravitate toward it. And the more you push them to do something the harder they resist it. It's common knowledge that when you tell someone not to do something it makes them want to do it....he'll figure it out...the hard way it seems.

Safer compared to what? many players come from areas where getting hit in the head is the least of their concern. They've gone over this over and over and over again in many documentaries and there are only so many jobs in other sports so there will always be a place for some people to make millions in a game like NFL football. I'd take it too if I had the ability and needed the escape.

Not even remotely the most dangerous job either but yet could set you up for life for at max 10 years of service if you're one of the best? For playing a game? hah i call BS on the anti movement atm...even at it's worst case scenario the good far outweighs the bad for most people. poo I'd die a millionaire at 50 than live 80 as an average person any time. It is also at an all time high in saftey and awareness....sign me up any day any life. Just uh...let me put on a few(100) pounds and grow a few inches.

Pretty much any sport or group activity is safer than football. I do agree that a lot of these people live in terrible situations and football is a great avenue to elevate their social status and learning opportunities.

Sure but like I said where do the NFL players go or the people who got replaced by them? If you took away all of the future would be NFL players there wouldn't be enough professional sports jobs for them to fill and then where do the people go who got replaced by the would be NFL player? Only so many jobs bruh.

I have 2 sons 6 & 5, I did amateur boxing when I was younger if I had a choice I would choose football for them over that. 

For some football could be the only way out of a bad spot, could be there ticket to college a degree and a career, because let’s face it only a tiny sliver can turn playing any sport into a FT Career.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
