  1. I don't understand why that gets reported as $41m/yr...it's 95% most likely not going to be that...they should report it as $36m/yr...and even then, without having looked, I'm gonna assume it's a two year deal with a void year even if there isn't a void year...like he'll restructure or be cut after the second year most likely as a pre workout bonus designated as a post June 1 cut or something? But yeah, why do they report average yearly salary based on the total value and not the guaranteed value or at least give it as two values: the guaranteed/yr and the max value/yr. It's not just a small annoyance either, people use that to calculate % of cap at signing and such and it drives narratives and pro bowl/all pro voting, etc.
  2. The percentage of players making hundreds of millions of dollars incredibly low...after you take out taxes and agent fees and how much it costs to stay in shape for football year round...and think that most players in the league are making near minimum salaries and that their careers are like under 3 years on average...and then they leave the league at like 25 years old with likely debilitating life long injuries that are likely going to keep them from working, especially if the only job someone might be qualified for is a trade job, which no knock on trade jobs in the slightest, incredibly important and respectable and appreciated work...just hard to do that type of work with joints that don't work in a degenerative sense at 25 and you potentially don't have health insurance
  3. Haha, your avatar checks out! Today is my wife's birthday and the anniversary of their last show ever...oh wow, 30 years right?!
  4. I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines... Come to daddy on an inside straight, well I've got no chance of losing this time
  5. What kind of dosed Kool aid we talking here?
  6. Haha, to be fair I never said that, nor did I say the sky was falling. All I'm saying is people cheering that it's "only" a hamstring...a hamstring injury might be something that needs to be accounted for the rest of one's career I think it's the overall general idea where people might be cheering for something initially, but then in the long run it ends up being worse than the thing they were initially cheering against...like that as a general concept is kinda tickling my brain a bit...like from a Shakespearian/Greek tragedy/film noir perspective
  7. Except a hamstring can never truly fully heal...my understanding is no muscle can after there is any form of tearing, which is what a pull or a "tweak" is, albeit small. Kinda like when you get a cut and your skin doesn't grow back exactly the same (you get a scar)...obviously a very small tweak is better than a huge tear, but my understanding is the nature of the hamstring muscle makes it much easier to happen again once there is scar tissue...I'd be really happy to learn this isn't the case with very small hamstring pulls. I'm not saying it's gonna be a big issue, but it's like people hearing someone had a minor meniscus injury that just needed a "clean up" and being like, phew, that's good news that it's not an acl...when over the long term an acl might be less impactful.
  8. It's not about the healing time, it's about how after the first one they can start happening again over and over.
  9. A hamstring pull isn't ideal though...the fact it sounds like he's walking ok is good, maybe it really was a tiny pull that doesn't make future ones more likely
  10. So it's Nabers eh? Lol, thanks for correcting me gently on that one 😅 So basically you're doing the in the moment QB Purgatory rankings...you think those are the top three (in a bad way) teams?
  11. They've recently enough won super bowls and they basically have had one qb somewhat bust after having Eli Manning for an entire generation. The Jets and the Browns though... The Giants are also going through an active rebuild and used their worst record two seasons ago to draft Neighbors who looks like he has the chance to be a hall of fame receiver. The Jets and the Browns though...the Browns?!
  12. Huh? That post is kinda incomprehensible tbh
  13. The Giants don't belong anywhere close to that list in my opinion
  14. But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I’m gettin’ older, too
