1. Where's the story (except Brock's contracts IS risky). 2. Solo Cam, backing up two Super Bowl-winning, MVP (at least Rodgers) quarterbacks can't be reflection of some extreme lack of talent (see the Browns). 3. Good for both QB's for, to quote the Steve Miller Band, "tak[ing] the money and run[ning]."

This is why I love college sports more than professional sports. People choose a University to attend for 3-4 years and pour their heart into that one place. Not hating on the business aspect of the pros, just stating why college ball is the best.

Ding ding....Flynn is living the dream. Being paid as a insurance policy basically his whole career and making good money. He will also retire without having the wear and tear on his body like 80% of the rest of the nfl. Smart business man.
