The NFL just like all professional sports is rigged. Its too much money at stake. The integrity is gone and very soon the fandom will be gone. It's like a child realizing there is no such thing as Santa Claus...Greed my friends...Greed

No Santa Claus? That’s not true! (There are kids on this board you know)

Everything is about the money!  Life is rigged too in case you haven't noticed it or not.  Think about all the problems we have right now and short of probably 1 or 2 exceptions its all about money. 

Oh and btw integrity is a tool that people in power use to keep the others thinking that they aren't screwing them over.

Watching the games is much more enjoyable and relaxing once you realize it's nothing but a business of entertainment. As soon as you stop investing your personal funds into fan gear, grossly over priced seats, $14 beer, etc., and decide to watch the game for what it is, life becomes so much more than a football game.

While professional sports showcases the best of the best, if you think college athletics is more of a purist's dream, you're not giving it the same scrutiny. In 2014, it was estimated, fairly accurately, that each home game at Ohio State University delivered $7.1M in revenues to the school. The entire athletic program at that time was estimated to be in the neighborhood of $167-170M, and the football program alone provides over 30% of that $167-170M every year. 

If you don't believe college athletics is just as corrupted by money as the professional leagues, you're watching with blinders on.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
