I think that's the excuse Baylor is using to deny Conner Martin's scholarship.GoldenBear007 said:
10 years from now, I doubt we even have kickoffs. Offense just takes over on their side of the field.
It's all opinion, he was savvy enough to retire and then go get hit some more. That's a helluva plan to lose a year of physical ability to play. You would think if he was all about the money, he'd stick around and not walk away from it.trey3216 said:He took a season off because he wanted to get away from SEA that badly. He gave up almost $7mm worth of guaranteed salary to get away from them so he could pick where he wanted to play.xiledinok said:Savvy enough to take off a season then have to come back?

Jimmy the Greek told us it's a big boy game. The game suffers because they cannot market the players for more than 5 years.
The NBA markets their guys post retirement. Look at gambler Mike Jordan. He owns a team in North Carolina.
The NFL has Marshawn Lynch. He is too dumb to market himself and maximize his money. Etc.,,etc,,..
He is known to use his NFL salary on purchasing cash producing rental real estate for his retirement, maxing out his 401k, and loading up on cash value life insurance.
He gives tons of money away every year to legit charitable endeavors. Maybe you could google that.
Your slack-jawed, ill-informed bs is laughable and you keep digging a deeper grave.
Coming from you, I should post even more.cowboycwr said:

It could encourage more pooch and squib kicks, unfortunatelyGrumpy said:
I wonder if this rule will actually create a bigger demand for better kickers. Talented kickers could do squib kicks or, as Elvis suggested, kick it to the back of the end zone. Kickers could become highly recruited athletes, like other notable positions. Will we have more on-side kicks? The rule will have one of two results regarding kicking: it will have to get better or it will ultimately be eliminated.
Umm no it isn't opinion. Much of it is documented fact.xiledinok said:It's all opinion, he was savvy enough to retire and then go get hit some more.

You do realize that the NFL has league rules about endorsements that restricts many types of endorsements? Right?xiledinok said:Coming from you, I should post even more.cowboycwr said:

Lynch didn't maximize his career value and didn't market the "Beast" when he could have made the most money doing it. He walked away at the peak.
Like most NFL players, they aren't marketed as well as the other sports.

The league causes the difference in marketing between an NBA player and an NFL player.
And yes he did market the beast. Look above for proof.
Perhaps because he has made sound enough financial decisions, for being ignorant according to you, to be happy rather than stuck. That year off helped him clear his mind and what not. His Marginal Utility of playing in his hometown for less money was great than the marginal utility for playing for Pete Carroll. You know, simple micro-economics stuff.xiledinok said:cowboycwr said:You do realize that the NFL has league rules about endorsements that restricts many types of endorsements?

He took off a year during his peak at 29 years old while he was scheduled to make $7 million. He made $3.5 last year and will play most likely his last year in 2018. He didn't maximize his value and the "beast mode" faded.
Also, he moved home close to mom to play for the Raiders. There is all kinds of information about why he makes strange social decisions.
Perhaps. The NFL has gone from a player drinking a Coke with a kid to a guy going "Beast" mode and taking a year off to clear his mind because Pete Carroll was his boss. That won't sell kool aid or soup. The politicians think the NFLPA is weak and Trump knew the players would be easier to hit than going straight after the league.trey3216 said:Perhaps because he has made sound enough financial decisions, for being ignorant according to you, to be happy rather than stuck.

I think you have your causation backwards.BaylorOkie said:
To me, it's ironic that some of the most vocal critics of these types of changes (referring more to the NFL, but it is really driving college changes) are the old-timer former players, yet they are the ones with injuries who are suing the NFL and causing all of this.
