It's also scary that his dad scheduled this. Shows that his dad still controls him and could possibly play a role when he gets to the NFL.

I seriously doubt this will be a big issue with NFL teams. It will either be his dad or an agent that controls him. Either way, none of these prospects are making these types of decisions by themselves.

Not really. It's not unheard of at all for some of these prospects to show up out of shape. I can't remember his name now, but the LT drafted by the Bengals a couple of years ago comes to mind immediately.

the one from Alabama who blew up his reputation pre-draft?

Smith was his name.

You named one guy. Most guys when they are in the middle of the pack will work their ass off to get more money. Smith was a top guy that thought he had it made and slid.

Gabbert, Locker, and Mallett are all going to work their ass off too, just like The Golden Calf of Bristol, Colt McCoy, and Clausen did before them and just like Boller, JaMarcus, and so on.

Everyone wants a payday. It's what you do after the payday that makes your career.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
