You continue to post the financial status of these guys with no evidence. What you're posting is 100% conjecture.
Wrong. I already looked it up. I told you it was easily Googled, but that’s too much work for you apparently. Fact: Most of the players are multi-millionaires, and that’s even without knowing the net worth of 6 of them.
12 players have net worths of between $4 million and $50 million:
Marcus Allen
Derrick Brooks
Jim Brown
Earl Campbell
Eric Dickerson
Marshall Faulk
Ronnie Lott
Curtis Martin
Joe Namath
Deion Sanders
Bruce Smith
Reggie White
1 player does not have net worth available but made bank during his career:
John Randle
2 players made bank during their careers, were multi-millionaires and blew most of their money:
Lawrence Taylor
Richard Dent
Net worths are not available for 5 players:
Mel Blount
Carl Eller
Mike Haynes
Rickey Jackson
Jackie Smith

Most hall of famers are most certainly not and for that matter neither are most modern day players. You are simply incorrect.
You keep expanding the scope to all HOFers and now modern day players. The only people on record demanding salaries and benefits are the 18 players in the letter, minus 2 who have backed out. There aren’t any poverty stricken names on that list, most are multi-millionaires. I’m simply 100% correct.

You're assuming quite a bit about the financial status of pro football hall of famers.
No, I’m not assuming anything about the financial status of those players listed. Most of those players are multi-millionaires. Easily found with Google search.

I don't believe they are taking up the cause for just themselves.
So they are going to refuse any association with the HOF until they get their salary and benefits, and then what? Make the same threat again until everyone gets it? That wouldn’t be negotiating in good faith. Awfully convenient how they think they need to start with themselves first, when they are the ones that need it the least.

There are a lot of players that made very little. In the 60's and prior it was common for them to work two or three jobs.
The really big contracts started around the 70's and not all got them. Free agency caused bigger increases in pay, that and the CBA.
Looking at the list of people who signed the letter, I see only a couple that may not have multi-million net worths right now.

Remove them all from the Hall of Fame and that will end their entitlement claim. These are the last people who should be begging for more money. Not the NFL’s problem if they squandered their millions.
Jim Kelly has probably rung up more medical bills than that entire group combined. I don’t see him complaining.

McD has lost the locker room. Once that respect is gone, he’s nothing more than a lame duck.
Its time to fire The McBeane.
Horrible post. Ridiculous. McD took over the defense in the second half and they only gave up a FG.

Huge mistake to trade McCarron. Irresponsible to have two QBs on the roster when one is Peterman and the other is a rookie who is supposed to have a year to develop. Now they have no choice but to start Allen.

I don’t think there’s a stadium in the world that could hold this authors ego. What an a-hat.

Drudge links to an article with the kid wearing a Bills shirt and a Bills wall behind him.

Am I the only one dreading more of OP’s “expert clarifications and happenings as the season progresses”?

He cheated on her and people here are making it out like she did something wrong and what was she to expect. You guys are impossible when it comes to the Bills ?
WTF? Where was it ever said that he cheated on her? Her issue was him partying too much.

Sounds like Darby came clean and no longer remembers being in the car.

Yes, this event shows up on my Facebook feed. I’d go, but I don’t feel like standing in line for hours just to say hi to him.

He hits too hard, can’t make those finesse tackles.

They might be happy with Rudolph or Lauletta and keeping their picks

They needed to get to 7 to have their choice of Joshs. They needed to get to 9 or 10 to get the one that was left. Allen was clearly their choice because they went up to get him.

What scares me is an O coordinator who has done what???
If we are going to coach this kid up we need someone who has at least done it before......
I agree with this. I don’t have a problem with drafting Allen, as long as they get a top QB coach to develop him.
-
Hope he convinces the Jets to draft him at 3.

Too many holes to fill to take QB with both firsts

This board can't get any worse than this thread.

Couple of drops? He led the league.
So he’d create competition with Zay? Then maybe it will happen...

Wentz won't be able to start next season. Why would the Eagles trade Foles unless they get a crazy offer for him?

So much for another Collinsworth scenario

Pro Football Hall of Famers Won't Attend Induction Ceremonies without Salary and Benefits
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Most Hall of Famers are not threatening to boycott the Hall of Fame if they don’t get a salary and benefits from the league. Of the ones that are, most are multi-millionaires.
