So we now have a situation with Odell Beckham handing out real money to the LSU players on the field after the championship game. The NCAA will certainly be up in arms about this.
Couple of issues -
1. The NCAA really needs to get these rules straightened out. The idea that players CANNOT be compensated for all of their hard work is just ridiculous.
2. Profoundly poor judgement by Beckham.
At least the money support universities, and the programs are still popular.
It also a bit curious how the players are forced to enter the draft and play rookie contracts, even though careers are short and their market value is some times waaay higher for top players. I wonder what Burrow would get as a free agent...

they needed to implement the rookie contract scale though. before then, it hamstrung teams who were perpetually bad (cough lions cough) because they were forced to give dumb contracts to all of their picks and no one wanted to trade for them because they'd be forced to give out bad contracts to the drafted players against the salary cap.

So there is now an arrest warrant out for OBJ for slapping the butt of an officer?
You would think that's just a bad joke but no, this is really happening

Guaranteed or not guaranteed contracts makes no difference. The NFL PA gets the same revenue split either way.
Instead, what they should do is set up their own health insurance and pension systems with that money.
if you can be cut at any time and not see the full value of your contract that gives you incentive to play through things like brain injuries, especially if you're a low paid third stringer. it's terrible. NHL and MLB got that right

Drew R conditionally released AB until he gets counseling. What type of nightmare does a guy have to be to have Drew drop them? This has moved from crazy and funny to sad. Hopefully he gets himself some help.
you see the recent police video with him? dude has lost his mind

The NHLPA had its own pension plan. The guy that set it up, Alan Eagleson, also robbed it. What the NFLPA needs is a better union leader. When Donald Fehr retired from MLBPA I thought the NFLPA would go after him hard. I think it was a mistake not offering Fehr a truckload of cash and full autonomy as NFLPA leader. The NFL PA has a lot of unique problems. Obviously one is short careers, but also those short careers are not equally divided among positions. Places like QB and OLine are much more stable than RB, and also higher paid. Plus those are also the positions with the smarter players. So the angry underclass has much less in common with the highly paid players.
That's not unique to the NFLPA. That's almost every non-government workforce.

Not necessarily. The NBA doesn't seem to have a bunch of idiots clustered at center position, a lot of industrial unions have much more homogeneous populations, etc. Other Union-Like cartels like the AMA are also much easier to get everyone on board because careers are quite long.

Garrett to the Giants. Nebraska let the OC/WR coach go. Not sure who we'll get to replace him, but the position group can only get better after not doing anything last year.
