Roger Goodell made $32 million dollars in 2015. That’s right! $32 million. NFL owners must love wasting money. I’ve never understood why commissioners in any of the four major sports make so much money. I get that they are the face of the league but a clown like Goodell isn’t worth $1 million dollars a year nevermind $32 million a year! I get that the league is making money hand…
The NFL suspended Johnny Manziel for four games today for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. That’s right, Roger Goodell suspended a player who is currently unemployed and not in the league right now. Suspending Goodell is pointless. There is a good chance he never plays another down in the NFL ever again. If he does, it’ll be because some owner felt bad for him and gave him a second…
Andrew Luck signed a six year, $140 million dollar extension with the Indianapolis Colts this afternoon. $87 million of it is guaranteed. It is the richest deal in NFL history. It’s no surprise that Luck is being paid like a franchise quarterback. He’s still considered one despite his struggles last season. Now he has to justify the commitment by the Colts by getting his career back on track. There is…
The Seattle Seahawks signed wide receiver Doug Baldwin to a four year, $46 million dollar extension yesterday. Baldwin had a monster season in 2015 hauling in 78 passes for 1,069 yards and 14 touchdowns. Naysayers will say that’s a lot of money for a receiver like Baldwin but it’s not. Baldwin has developed into one of the most consistent and reliable receivers in the league. His numbers last season are…
Legendary defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan passed away on Tuesday at the age of 82. Ryan was in poor health in recent years after suffering a massive stroke and being diagnosed with cancer. Despite his poor health, Ryan was able to attend a Bills game last season and watch his son Rex coach. Rex spent two seasons on his dad’s staff in Arizona when Buddy was coach of the Cardinals from…
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dan Skuta was arrested last week after he assaulted a women who refused to take his phone number. Skuta reportedly pushed the women in the face into a window. It’s been a quiet off-season for the NFL in terms of arrests but with players back home now before the start of training camp, you knew it was only a matter of time before someone did something stupid…
Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison posted on his Instagram account this weekend that if the NFL wants to interview him regarding performance enhancing drugs, then Roger Goodell can come to his house and interview himself. The snide post is in response to a report that the league plans to show up to the first day of Steelers training camp and interview Harrison regarding PEDS. It’s no secret that Harrison…
1. The state of Nevada and the city of Las Vegas would have to fork over $750 million dollar in order to build a new stadium for the Raiders. That’s not going to happen. Raiders owners Mark Davis would have a better chance of being abducted by aliens before that happened. 2. Of course Calvin Johnson is at peace with his decision to retire. His body feels good and he…
Eugene Monroe would add quality depth to a Patriots offensive line that sorely needs it. The Baltimore Ravens released veteran left tackle Eugene Monroe yesterday. Reports surfaced that the reason the team released Monroe was because of his views on legalizing marijuana. The Ravens also attempted to deal Monroe to the Giants but a deal fell through. I think all of that is a load of crap. They released Monroe…
The Philadelphia Eagles paid Fletcher Cox big money but when you look at his production, he’s well worth it. The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive end Fletcher Cox to six year, $103 million dollar extension. $63 million of it is guaranteed. It is the largest deal for a non quarterback in NFL history. Cox is the latest defensive lineman to get paid in what has been a big off-season for defenders…
