I can call too, don't mean that I'm cut out for it. I side with @Malta, this shyt is at the beginning of the beginning of the end.

co-sign. if the best young athletes play other sports, it'll kill football eventually cause the quality will go down. NFL will turn into NBDL with quickness. this is the begining of the end.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
worst case it will be like boxing

and boxing isnt dying


Nah, boxing has worldwide appeal and can draw from a global talent pool, most importantly it gives smaller men featherweight/welterweight a sport they can excel at against people their own size. That is a talent pool no other sport really draws from, so it will always have the smaller guys to fall back on.


The heavyweight division in boxing is devoid of top tier American talent because all the kids that are the size of modern heavys are in the NBA/NFL. The NFL cannot afford to have it's talent pool decrease, because it's only drawing from 1 region.

I swear you hardcore nfl dudes are sociopaths pretending that there isn't a problem in the nfl or being irreverent about it because it entertains you. :scust:

Cats like trip can keep their hand in the sand but the bottom line is the nfl is fukked

Eventually the top athletes will go to other sports and it will go the way of boxing where the 4th and 5th tier athletes who weren't good enough to play the other sports will play it and extremely poor kids who have no other options

In 10 years thd NFL product will be so awful and watered down

Nobody said the nfl will now get no ratings where talking 10 years down the line when the top tier athletes are not playing it and the product gets extremely watered down

I really hope he becomes a coach or something. If he stuck it out until his next contract then retired at 28 or 29 or something after getting millions, he'd be in such better shape moving forward.

I guess I respect the decision but I can't shake the part of me that thinks it was a punk move
punk move? :what:

dog, let me just tell you that i have had multiple severe brain injuries and im starting to see the effects come into fruition. believe me when i tell you there is nothing scarier than not being the person who youve always been, when just a year ago it was all good. thoughts like hurting yourself(which i never thought of before, shyt is cowardly to me.), forgetting shyt like pin #'s, social security #'s, not wanting to be in social settings anymore, the anxiety, etc. i literally just came from the neurologist and the symptoms i have are a result of all that damage i endured. the shyt makes me upset even thinking about it because theres no absolutely nothing that can be done to treat it. and i just turned 25 years old.

its very easy to call this a punk move when you yourself are not dealing with the issue personally. shyt hall of famer harry carson just said on the michael kay show he would of never played if he had the education then, that they do now. im happy for this dude, and pray he didnt do enough damage before its too late.
