NFL players who opt out of the 2020 season risk never playing in the league again

If you opt out, I just really want you to know there's a major possibility in chance that you may never play again... This is a business until business slaps us in the face.

While some stars returned without issue, many fringe players who opted out did struggle to find footing in the league again, as Deion predicted.

The NFL should schedule low over/under games at 11:00 AM to replace Big Ten football

If there's no college football on Saturday... try to replace it... by just scheduling the game that has the lowest point total over under to be the 11 a.m. Game. Have it be like Broncos Redskins 11 am.

OpinionFootballMildSarcastic
The NFL did not move games to Saturday mornings to accommodate the Big Ten's absence.

The 2020 Big Ten cancellation makes this the least fun autumn of our lifetimes

This fall is going to be possibly the least fun Autumn, excuse me, that we'll have in our lifetimes.

The Big Ten and Pac-12 did eventually reverse course and play shortened seasons starting in October/November 2020, but the initial cancellation certainly dampened the 'autumn' experience.

I am officially sick of the Zoom interface and never want to see it again

Fuck you to Zoom. Fuck Zoom. I am sick of Zoom. The first week it was cool... Now every time I see a Zoom on Hard Knocks, it's like I'm looking into a kaleidoscope of hell. I can't process it anymore. I'm sick of seeing that interface.

Subjective opinion on user interface fatigue.

I will never admit to losing a race, even to Randy Moss

I'm never going to say I'm going to lose a race. One of the guys that probably would have presented the biggest challenge probably would have been Darrell Green. I just talked to him the other day too, man. He probably would have been the one that presented the most challenge in the prime.

Inherently unverifiable hypothetical between all-time greats in their primes.

95% of college football players are not going pro

I want these kids to go into the workforce and make a difference, man, because 95% of my [kids] are not going pro. That's for every program, 95% of the kids play for you are not going pro.

NCAA data generally supports that less than 2% of college football players make it to the NFL.

NIL deals at Power 5 schools are often just booster kickbacks, not real endorsements

Tell me what have you seen them [Power 5 recruits] endorse? ... How can you get a million dollars worth of endorsements for a kid at these power fives and nobody sees nothing? ... At least if you say you're going to do something, we got to at least see it. The NCAA should hold people accountable if they say they got a deal.

While NIL collectives often operate with less public commercial output than traditional endorsements, his claim that they are often 'kickbacks' is a widely held but difficult-to-verify industry perspective.
