$320k a year isn't that much when you consider the average football player plays what, 3 seasons? Then has $100k in medical bills + therapy afterward.

Plus, the money is made in your early 20s when most of us, myself included, are stupid with money.

On top of that, when someone makes a big wad of money all of a sudden, watch how fast old friends and struggling family members come out of the woods.

Ok, 320K - 100 K - 8 K = 212K.

I'm 52. I've never made close to 212K in my life. Heck, I've never made close to 75K. Barring some weird lottery win, I'll never make 212K, and I doubt I'll ever come close to 100K.

Yeah, sorry its a hit. But unless he's *really* stupid with money (which, admittedly many such athletes are), I have a hard time feeling sympathy fo the "unfairness". Just because 7500 is a penny for Albert Haynesworth doesn't mean a dime fine for zombo is a serious lifestyle hit.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

The hit he made was pretty rough, so I have to agree with the fine. I feel bad for him because he was just trying to make a play plus Cutler deserved it. However at least the NFL fined him for a good reason unlike last year when they fined Clay Matthews for throwing that ball in the stands!

Well, it's not like he gets paid that 320K all at once. 320K/16 games = 20000 per game. I'm not sure how preseason games factor in, but assumming he's made $60000 throughout the first three weeks, taking 7500 out of that plus bills and other expenses is a pretty big hit. Of course, he'll make it up pretty quickly.

it seems these fines can hurt how the player plays do they ease up,so that they don't get to the q.b when you see the play it's not like he wanted to hit him like that,just think they have to look at some of this and realize it is football and sometimes you get hit hard,now i'm not justifying but it is hard on the d-line when you can't do this and you can't do that makes it hard when you play hope zombo still plays the way he has been and not go soft because of the fine.

I'm fine with this fine since this guy got $10,000 for grabbing a dudes nutsack.

If he hits Favre like that, I say we take up a collection for him. Go to hades, Formo.

You live in Iowa. You can buy a house there for $100k. Cheapest house here $649k and that's for 1300 sq ft and a tiny yard.

Salary is relative. Had I stayed in Texas and scored a $50k job, I would have been laughing and taking a pair of cruises every year while still being able to make payments on my 15-year mortgage (it was a fat brick house too with a quarter of an acre). I wouldn't get out of bed for $50k a year here and I live in a freaking apartment now.

Zero2Cool (3h) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (3h) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (3h) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (3h) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : LB Isaiah Simmons. Signed. Called it!!! Oh yeah!

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that
