$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.

TheKanataThrilla (9-Aug) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
