If you are the best employee, show up, do great and someone else is getting paid 40% more than you, -- of course you're going to be ticked. They get paid a lot more than you and they aren't as good or as reliable.

The amount they earn is ABSURD, but let's not get it twisted. Now the clowns who cry about "only" getting $30 million and ask "how am I gonna feed my kids" -- they are fucksticks. That's not the majority. And just like everything, EVERYTHING, in life, we have some dillholes.

But your last point SPOT FREAKING ON. Aaron Rodgers knows he's top 3 QB in the NFL and wants to be compensated accordingly AND wants the Packers to somehow still retain all these old veterans. Maybe he should have spoken up more and better during CBA talks that reward veterans so much more money. What that did was pushed a lot of veterans out because teams could bring in someone younger for a lot cheaper. NFLPA didn't think that through at all.

I’m not “obsessed”. Just pointing out how insane these athletes make that much money. Yes, it’s the free market. Most likely some day they will price themselves out of existence. They will kill the golden goose with their greed. Of course that’s just my opinion. And no matter what you say, I still will think it’s ridiculous.

I think you are “obsessed” with trying to make it seem as acceptable behavior to cry when someone else is making a million more then you are. When you are making more money in one year then most hard working people make in their lifetimes.
When a person dies, they take just as much money or “toys” with them that they brought into the world with them.
Like I said, Rodgers is complaining about how the Packers had to let some of his buddies go......at the same time he was eating up the majority of money they could have used to keep said guys.
He wants EVERYTHING. While not having to give up some of his vast wealth.
That hypocrisy bothers me.
If you want, you have to be willing to give too.

The GREED of the Rodgers type of players in professional sports is driving me away from professional sports.
Now that greed is taking a foothold in college sports.
Where will it end?
I’ve been a Green Bay Packers fan since I went to my first game in 1956.
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers organization kissing his ass has me questioning my fandom right now.

Is it really greedy to ask for fair market value? You don't think someone else would pay that much for Rodgers?

Also, the NFL owners are the greediest... players don't even get 50% splits and then split it up among 1,700 people... the owners get over 50% and split it up among 32.

So yeah... the players are SO greedy by taking a market value for their services... DIRECTLY from the much richer and greedy owners.

Beast, I don’t think it has anything to do with liking or not liking any particular player.
And as I said, it’s the free market. And if someone is willing to pay it, so be it. But it will come to a head some day.
And I do believe it is greed for Rodgers to complain how the Packers didn’t keep his buddies, and at the same time he KNEW that there is a salary cap, which handcuffs the Packers from just keeping everyone. That, and there are only 53 roster spots. So taking up the majority of available money, then acting all butt hurt because the FO let players go, it makes it hard for me to feel sorry for him or to take his side in this.
Again, it’s my opinion. That’s all.
If people want to feel sorry for him, they can.

I have said this before and will say it again. I think it would be better if the public didn't know the money side of things. It's as beneficial as that stupid MTV Cribs show where people flaunt their homes with 14 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 12 sports cars and they only "live" there 7 months a year. But, hey, they somehow earned that money so be it, but I think it threw the rich people into a competitive "oh yeah, check out this" deal. Meanwhile we have almost 600,000 people without a home in our Country.

That being said, Aaron Rodgers is very generous with his money and his TIME. And TIME is something money cannot buy. Of course, that isn't sexy so you all don't know much about it because you're too busy having a good life while I'm the loser who reads it all and tries to pass it along. And then I get "we will never know" comments.

The best part is they can send his ass to Miami next year or the Jets and we should make a decent haul and have plenty of caproom left to sign new players. And beast said something else that really irks me and that is how college players are now being paid. I have to ask weren't they being paid already with the scholarships I mean what does a 3 or 4 year course cost? $120,000 or so, that sure sounds like a decent paying job for playing a game and something that will help you maybe make millions

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (4h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (5h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (5h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (5h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (5h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (5h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (5h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (5h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (6h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (6h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (6h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (6h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (6h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (6h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (6h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (6h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (6h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (6h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (6h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (6h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (6h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (6h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (6h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (6h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (6h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (6h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (6h) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (7h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
Mucky Tundra (7h) : ok scratch that
Mucky Tundra (7h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
TheKanataThrilla (7h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs
TheKanataThrilla (7h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?
TheKanataThrilla (7h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.
Mucky Tundra (7h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one
TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Bad throw created that penalty.
TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
