I got a flyer from a club here in Greensboro saying Charles Johnson, and 5 or 6 other NFL players are throwing a party at their club tonight.

Glad all the players are taking this whole thing seriously.

Well, I'm sure most of them have cash set aside for this thing. So basically, they just got a vacation from having to go work out in 100 degree temperatures all day, and will have an abbreviated season.

I'd probably be having a party at my club too if I was rich, still employed and not having to sweat my ass off.

I just think it's silly that the players are trying to act like they're upset because the owners "fooled them." Claiming that they've been left in the dark and don't even know what this new CBA says. And then they throw parties. If they feel they are being tricked or played here, you'd think that they wouldn't be throwing a party tonight.

Dear players and owners and all lawyers involved,

Occasionally – okay, often – while I’m at work, I’ll waste hours on end reading this great message board where I discuss this thing called football that I am incredibly passionate about. Occasionally – okay, often – I’ll waste another hour or so setting my fantasy football lineup for the week. You know what that is? Fantasy football? It’s like football but it’s not. It’s a fantasy. It’s a fantasy world that we all love because it is the closest most of us will ever come to being a player or an owner or a GM. You see, right now you are all totally f***ing up this fantasy world that we all live in. Get it the f**k together. Football is a form of therapy for millions of Americans. We spend hours, days, weeks, talking about you, your job, and whether or not you’re doing it well. S**t man, I actually bet a friend $50 last night that Mario Manningham would have more than 750 receiving yards this year. Who they f*** cares about Mario Manningham outside of New York? Well honestly, there are a ton of people that care cause football is just that damn fun to watch and discuss, even when you have no skin in the game. And you a**holes have the privilege of being at the center of that attention. Whatever I’m rambling now. The point is you are f***ing ruining this s**t for millions of people. I didn’t want to have to take to this level, but puppies are gonna start dying unless you get this s**t figured out. Puppies man.

With great sincerity,

mr beauxjangles AKA soon to be puppy-killing public enemy number two (behind you f**ksticks).

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
