Young signed with CAA, one of the most powerful agencies representing NFL players, for his marketing deals.

I didn't think about all the agents preying on these kids and taking their 10%. The kids will be learning this is a cut-throat business.

How did the lousy NBA show up in the NFL/NCAA thread???? Hijackers!

Back on topic, did you see that 91 year old Bobby Bowden has announced that he has a terminal illness?

I think the players union may have something to say about this, maybe owners too...

NFL says COVID outbreaks among unvaccinated players may result in forfeiting games, loss of pay in new policy

The NFL is continuing to come down hard on unvaccinated players as a new memo released Thursday states that teams could potentially forfeit a game due to a COVID-19 outbreak amongst unvaccinated players.

Have you read the fine print? I think there are 5 conditions that need to be met, with one of the 5 being that a team outbreak was caused by unvaccinated players … good luck proving that! It is a “hard hitting (on the surface)” piece of meaningless legislation by the NFL.

Exactly..... What about if a vaxed person causes an outbreak? Didn't read the fine print because I thought this whole dilemma is ridiculous.....

It looks like Vikings Offensive Line Coach/Running Game Coordinator, Rich Dennison is hitting the unemployment line after refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. It just seems strange to me that coaches and office personal in the NFL must be vaccinated or they loose their job, however players can choose to be or not to be ... Granted, if they choose not to be they must jump through a lot more hoops than the vaccinated player. Still, it seems odd that there is a division in employment like that ... guess that is the strength of the Player's Union.
