NFL Income stream

Saint Bastage · 12-31-2011, 01:22 PM

Is it just me or is Mr. Goodell getting a little crazy with the fines these days. The latest one, He fined Tebow for a billboard he had nothing to do with and Welker for a hat, and Pierre thomas for a Christmas greeting. Is this a new income stream of part of the most recent collective bargaining agreement?

Seriously...WTF is going on? I've never been much of a fan of Authority anyway.

Goodell and the owners need more money.

Billion dollar stadiums are the norm.

The average lifespan of a football player is 52.

According to a often-cited article in Sports Illustrated 78% of NFL players declare bankruptcy within two years of retirement.

Any other industry with these numbers would be shut down.

So when you post these Goodell moments whom I strongly dislike - the NFL is so messed it almost seems fictional.

It was pointed out to me that the Tebow fine was not league imposed but rather a team thing, the point remains. Nothing seems right in the NFL anymore.
