This is just a brief blurb from this here reporter about the idiotic way the NFL allows a kid who has never played a snap in the league to get $50 MILLION dollars in GUARANTEED money just by being selected first overall in the draft.
Sam Bradford, the quarterback drafted first overall this past April in the NFL draft signed his rookie contract tonight and by doing so essentially made $50 million dollars.
Guaranteed.
If the kid turns out to be a total dud, the Rams are out all that cheese.
And as Ricky Waters once asked, "For who? For what?
The NFL is dangerously close to implosion, and I'm now convinced the best thing for the league is a work stoppage. The guys in this league who will only try up and until they get paid far outnumber the guys who play no matter what because they have respect for themselves.
And it's increasingly hard to root for.
Furthermore, how dumb is it when the bimbo from any given news station says that the deal that Chiefs' rookie safety Eric Berry just signed is the richest ever for a safety?
Its like saying that 2010 is the most recent year in the history of the world.
No shit, Shirlock. Apparently a 2% C.O.L. Increase from last year's rookie deals warrant that kind of fluff.
In a tiny nugget I'll bury at the bottom of this rant I'd like to confess that Albert Haynesworth makes me want to use many extreme, vulgar and potentially racially-charged words to describe the type of man it takes to sign a $100 million-dollar deal last year but wants to hold out/cause problems/generally be a douchebag the next.
Albert Haynesworth is a . . .
