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.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
