Goodell can’t be happy with Justin Timberlake

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.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
