re: Randy Shannon Comments on Players Sitting Out

If an NFL player refuses to play you don’t pay them their game check.

What about the ones that fake injuries to get out of the game. Booger McFarland suggested that he was one such player in the NFL.

NFL players get a game check. They get paid to play each game, so I doubt they would forfeit that

---

yeah NFL players go all out bc they're getting paid, they don't take plays off. Contract year effort is just a coincidence

so you’re against a professional business incentivizing their employees?

Can you point to anyone faking injuries?

Can you?

You are full of shite

Randy Shannon is a moron.

Also, do you think owners care about wins once they are out of the playoffs?

Once you’re eliminated to wins help or hurt your team?

They get traded or waived and their rep follows them. Coaches and GMs talk. That kind of rep ends in a short career.

If I was a junior in college and a company in the profession I was preparing for came to me and said if you come work for us now we will pay you 20 million, that might be on the table later but it's not guaranteed, I'd wouldn't think twice about taking the job. Not sure why anyone would feel different.

None of us would take that chance

Did booger say he faked injuries or he would...

Because those are 2 different things.

He also played 16 games for a 7-9 Buccaneers.

He’s a talking head. His job it to start discussions.

except they aren't guaranteed 20 million

What would you do for your family vs what would you do for your team? Easy answer in my opinion.

There’s a very prominent former NFL player from an SEC school that shows up in our court every couple of months for failure to pay child support. Most recently he had withdrawn 400k from his kids’ college savings account and spent it. Sadly, many of these guys are simply just selfish, regardless of the words that come out of their mouths saying they’re trying to provide for their families.
