Calvin Johnson’s Interview With E60 Sheds Light on the Painkiller Problem In The NFL
Calvin Johnson’s interview with ESPN’s Michael Smith shed light on a variety of issues currently plaguing the NFL. One of the most pressing issues facing the league is the rampant use of painkillers. The NFL has a narcotics problem and the league along with team doctors are the two main culprits when it comes to the league’s opioid problem. Team doctors hand out pain medication like it’s Halloween candy. From…
Tom Brady Is Right Where He Belongs on the Top 100
Tom Brady was voted as the second best player in 2015 as part of the NFL Network’s Top 100. Players around the league were polled and asked to list their top 100 players. Brady finished behind Cam Newton. Many Patriots fans I spoke to were not happy that Brady wasn’t voted the best player in the league for the 2015 season. Some of the fans I spoke with felt Brady…
The Difference Between the NBA and the NFL is the Soft Salary Cap
Many articles have been written in the past few days about why NBA players are gettting bigger contracts than NFL players in free agency. There are a variety of reasons but one of the primary reasons is the NBA has a soft salary cap. NBA owners can willingly spend over the salary cap and if they do, they pay a luxury tax. The luxury tax is nothing new in professional…
Daily Script for July 5th 2016
1. Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors would be the equivalent of Cam Newton signing with the Broncos. That’s the best comp I could come up with. 2. The reason why you don’t see ridiculous contracts in the NFL like you do in the NBA is simple. The NFL has a hard cap. The NBA on the other hand has a soft cap and it’s a joke! 3. I’m sorry,…
Tom Brady is the Ultimate Pitchman But It Won’t Matter. KD Isn’t Going Anywhere
Tom Brady doesn’t just pitch Uggs, Under Armour or beds, he also pitches the Celtics. Brady joined the Celtics contingent meeting with Kevin Durant in the Hamptons this evening. Brady is friends with Durant’s agent Jay-Z so I’m sure the two spoke before Brady decided to join Danny Ainge and company on their trek to the Hamptons. So, will Brady influence KD’s decision in any way? No. Durant will be…

Goofball Goodell Makes $30 Million a Year and He’s Not Going Anywhere
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 Suspending Johnny Manziel is a Joke
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 Gets Paid. Now He Has to Live Up to the Contract
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…
