NFL Regular Season Thread 2019-2020: The Brazen Bahamian Battles Over Eli’s Legacy Til He’s Blue In The Face

shoot, you can play until the league folds. It’s only like 2-3 months worth of games.

AT&T and schools are always hiring

None of y’all passing up the chance to make 55k for a couple months, to work at no gat damn At&t

55k for the potential of your brain turning into mashed potatoes??????????

Nah fam.

55k to get electrocuted, climbing telephone lines and power lines for AT&T is a better option, I guess. Or, falling 20+ feet, when your harness breaks. Everyday you wake up, you’re taking a risk.

 

[Hahahaha]

Just watched the NFL roundtables for DBs and WRs. DBs one was real good, WR was boring.

one of those isn’t a guaranteed risk. running into grown men full speed is always going to end badly.

sounding like a bunch of non football players in here.

but you aint wrong

Damn bro he was talking about selling phones in the stores not climbing up poles for them

 

[casper90403]

you aint selling phone at AT&T for $55k though.

 

[Nike Jordan]

Yeah, but you're not getting your head mashed-in either.

Might be time to hang it up Reed

Might be time to hang it up Reed

probably was time a while ago.. but it’s a free country and can’t expect football to save him from himself

the point was, these are football players, not some scrubs sitting behind a phone/computer commenting. Easy for us to say hell no, I wouldn't do that for $55k.

But this is what these guys want to do and love. $55k would be a lot for most of these guys. Its an easy decision for them to sacrifice their bodies for $55k. Hell, I know most guys in here who don't even make $55k would play football if you were actually a football player that could even touch that level.

Has nothing to do with if I played football or not. I know you wanted to try and make this a big **** contest but you missed the point. Hope I cleared it up for you

 

[spacedoodoo]

‘big **** contest’ huh mad ******* corny. But I wouldn’t suspect anything different from a guy who posts his wife’s *** for Internet likes.

It has everything to do with whether or not someone has played the game. If you’ve played the game you’ll realize how dangerous this ****. $55k or less is a disrespectful salary and a slap in the face for these guys to go out there and put their bodies and life on the line. Regardless of that ‘love of the game’ fantasy **** you’re talking about.

If you’ve never stepped on the field you can’t tell me whether or not the risk is worth the salary. How would you know?

 

[JBII]

What y'all think these practice squad dudes making a year? After taxes it might be alittle bit more than 55k not by alot tho lol

a practice squad player is totally different than being a guy who’s active and on the field during the game.

I don't need to have stepped on the field to know whether or not its worth it. Its not for ME. I've always said I won't let my kids play football, plain and simple. I know how dangerous it is. You'd be a fool to disrespect the danger aspect of the sports. Its why you see plenty of guys who make peanuts who are still laying it all on the line to fulfill a dream.

Whether or not if you played football or didn't, ain't nobody in here has the ability to play at the XFL level. So its easy to say hell no, I wouldn't do it for $55k. We'd get killed out there.

Sorry, your high school days don't play a facto in this discussion. There aren't very many people who don't understand the dangers of the sport. Its obvious.

I think you're missing my point. And its ok. Perhaps its something I can't explain any further

Football is football tho still a risk. Dudes don't get hurt in practice? Also just looked it up they make about 136k after taxes, agent, ECT not much more than 55k and you gotta pay 6 more weeks ijs. I love football I would play for free tho so I might need to sit this one out lol

 

[casper90403]

is it though. Those practice squad players are probably risking themselves even more than these XFL players. Practice squad dudes are playing against the best. Size, speed, tremendous athletes on a day to day basis.

practice squad makes $136k? Thats more than I would have guessed. I know after the draft, the ones undrafted can get some nice signing bonuses to go to a certain team.

The cost benefits outweigh the dangers for a lot of these athletes. $136k is probably $100k more than what most of these guys would make in the real world.
