Why do these idiot House Judiciary Commitee democrates think that they need to be involved in the NFL now. People made contracts and were paid what the market allowed at the time the contracts were made. They CHOOSE to play a rough sport. Some of the to stupid to do anything other than play in that rough sport. The government needs to stay the hell out of the NFL.

I don't think the NFL is willing to give up those 27 stadiums though.

Are taxpayer dollars ever used for building the glorious stadiums that the NFL plays in?

Yes.

When you get funding via the government to build your arena, then you pretty much open the door for the government to interfere.

When Spector intervened with the NFL Network to force them to broadcast their exclusive Thursday night games on local channels for the respective teams that were playing, where was the indignation for the "government interference?"

Me, personally, I have no problem with someone holding Goodell's feet to the fire over how retired NFL players are taken care of, or the lack thereof. If the NFL had been doing right by those retired players, then you wouldn't have organizations like Gridiron Greats doing it for them

OK. I read the article on ESPN.com regarding Goodell and DeMaurice Smith meeting with congress in regards to head injuries leading to neurological disease later in a player's life...

I posted about this previously

Noticed the article had what is now my current avatar as the headline picture and found it an interesting read.

      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.
