Saquon Barkley will sit out of week 18. Eric dikkerson's record is safe.

This was a no win situation for the Eagles no matter the decision they made. But even IF the Eagles win the Super Bowl 20-30 years from now would that really mean more then holding the single season rushing record if he did and it would have lasted that long. I undestand the injury risk but this is probably his ONE chance ever at this record. With good health and luck he should have at least another half decade to contend for a ring.

It’s still a children’s game. At the EOD these dudes getting paid millions to play a game for a living:yeshrug: I understand I have an unpopular opinion for wanting football players to play football
If it’s a children’s game, then why do so many grown ups play it? And why do grown ups enjoy watching grown ups play it? Why did grown ups start playing it and why was it designed for them?

Something for children is something children predominantly find entertaining. Or at the very least, designed for them.

They get millions for providing very high level of entertaining, just like any other form of entertainment.

what age do people learn to play football?
People don't respect what it takes to be a pro athlete/feel bitter because they can't do it. That's the only reason that cliche exists. Kids do a lot of things. Kids act, write, sing, sell things, clean, dance, prepare meals, fix stuff, build things, take trash out, teach stuff, hell...govern themselves and we don't reduce the adult careers that correspond with those things to "kid's this or that" because we respect the work that goes into it and/or we aren't bitter about the fact that we can't do it. Ironically kid's actually do some of those things professionally and could do others if provided with the proper training and opportunities. Meanwhile, most athletic, in shape, manly tough man can't get a try out. And we gonna reduce that to a "kid's game"?

This player >> that player is opinion. The highest level of football in the world being far beyond a kids game is obvious fact.

What makes the Super Bowl more impressive then the rushing record? Someone will win the Super Bowl every year. A chance to break a 40 year old record in a passing league won't come around often. He would have been able to live off that record forever.
