whiners...they get paid millions...if they dont want to be there leave

To be fair, the vast majority of those guys don't actually get paid "millions". That's just the superstars.

As to the rest, yeah they make way more than we do, but most of them don't have long careers and relatively very few of them are "set for life" when their careers end.

Wish every team had a Tony Dungy type, to help with 'life coaching' and a Dave Ramsey type for basic money management.  It's not sexy but if you cared about your players, you'd find a way to do it.

Agree. There's a reason why a lot of these guys, even some of the big moneymakers, wind up broke within a few years of their career ending.

Bashing and calling someone a whiner for being real about working conditions that’s made a total taxable career income of just over 9mill but siding with greedy BILLIONAIRES is a Novel concept…. 

$9 million…how old is he?…how many yrs has he played?

    • When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
    • Dude you are smart fan. 3 on 0 breakaways won’t matter who is in net. You gotta be better on this one. 
    • Raiders are gonna get a good one. Rather have Mendoza fly out and play for the Panthers tomorrow than Bryce
