But hey...Denever is going to suck ass this year.

Wrong.

Most of the new deals are crazy stupid. I mean look at Von Miller's deal. Is he good? Damn right. If he worth to be paid THAT much? Fuck no. But hey...Denever is going to suck ass this year. If Pats don't win AFC...I will be shocked.

Von Miller deserves to get paid like the best player in football because you can't really name someone that is better than him at what their given responsibilities are. Even if someone can then it'd be debatable at best.

i mean its opinion whether someone deserves a certain amount of money. i think jj watt should be paid more, but with von miller he played lights out on the biggest stage. his team played great around him but he made the 2 biggest plays in the superbowl, and made some huge plays in the pats game. hes dynamite and i dont think they overpaid in the sense of how the market is right now. i think the issue is just the market has inflated on contracts and so forth, like ryan fitzpatrick doesnt deserve $12 mil guaranteed lol and dont get me started on bradford. does von miller deserve as much money as he got? probably not. but if you scale it compared to how everyone else is being paid, it's not that outlandish since at least he put in the work to deserve to be paid well

Oh I totally agree 100%. The money is getting out of control in all sports. Baseball contacts...those make no damn sense.

The thing that worries me most about Von Miller's contract is what the Raiders will have to pay for Khalil as they are probably in terms of sports contracts the best comps for a Khalil new deal, but then add another year or two of inflation. Like Championship yada yada in Miller's deal doesn't really mean much to any other deal that follows. Like Flacco post SB got 100+ mil and everyone said championship yada yada then people like Andy Dalton got 100m along with every other halfway decent QB. I'm nervous about how much Carr+Mack will cost and if it will compromise what the Raiders can do. I trust Reggie though.

The baseball contracts make a lot more sense than others. Baseball has no salary cap. Owners can give star players as much money as they want. It helps if you think of the players as entertainers instead of athletes. They are performing in front of a live audience and for millions on television, 3 hours a night, 6 nights a week. Star baseball players have their own 3 hour tv show every night, plus a live performance. What do the actors from Big Bang theory make per episode?
It's all entertainment. No matter how good you are at baseball or football or any game, you won't get paid unless people are watching.

[The Cheat]

Wrong.

Explain. Every team goes down after winning SB. It is the natural order of things. Do I want Denver to suck? Nope. Do I think they will be just ok? Yep. 10-6 at best. Maybe 11-5.

No. Baseball players are pussies who hardly run, barely move during a boring ass game and never get touch.

Then again in my perfect word Baseball would have been outlawed years ago. it remains the only sport on tv that I refuse to watch. Plus NASCAR is that is a "sport."

None of that stuff matters, TC. Baseball players aren't competing in a triathlon every night or a cage fight. They're playing baseball. And every night people are watching them play baseball on tv and live in stadiums all over the country. It's entertainment, like I said. That's all that matters. No different than musicians putting on concerts or actors on a tv show.
Edit- I understand you not being into it. Makes sense to me. I find baseball relaxing and I like tracking the stats and I LOVE being at a game in the summer. I've always loved it. Lots of people do.

[The Cheat]

I think the Broncos could be anywhere between hot garbage and 10-6. Really depends on QB to me and assuming the defense stays elite for 10-6.

Best way to put it. Well said.

Can't be entertainment when it makes you fall asleep. But if they had cage fights...maybe.

Lots of people love it eh? Well...they are wrong. But enough of this. Let's talk about football.

Who wins AFC? Pats right?

How many games does Romo play?
