I was at the game tonight. Gonzo was nowhere to be seen.

That is SOOOOO shallow, that I weep for his generation. Why can't they just be happy being EXTREMELY highly paid for playing a HS sport. It seems so individual and self-centered for a game that is so TEAM oriented, where so much of one's individual success depends on 10 other players doing their jobs.

Same reason they can’t be happy losing the Super Bowl, or a conference championship. By your logic they should be happy doing extremely well making it so deep into the playoffs when most other teams don’t. Why can’t they be happy being second best in the NFL?

Do you weep when they can't walk without assistance after age 45?

Do you care that they're one hit away, legitimately, from being crippled for life?

Or how about when they're 50 and their head's so filled with CTE that they turn into someone else, and suicide's the best option? This literally just happened with Jordan Devey.

Yeah, what *I* don't understand are people who don't want these players to get every last cent they can, for their short window when they can make life-changing money for them and their family for generations to come, putting their bodies on the line every day, risking permanent injury, just to make @patfanken happy, and just to make the owners and the league more money than they can conceive of - all on their backs.
