NFL Random Thought of the Day

That's wrong about Earl only playing for Houston. He followed Bum to the Saints. Of course by then his body was giving out. Just look at his stats.

Earl Campbell played 8 seasons for the Oilers and Saints. He had 2,187 carries for 9,407 yards, 121 catches for 806 yards and scored 74 touchdowns. He was selected to play in 5 Pro Bowls. He won 3 Offensive Player of the Year awards, the Offensive Rookie of the Year award and 1 MVP award. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991.

Don't really understand the knock on Jerry (I get it, he's all about making money).. I mean if I saw a dollar bill on the ground, I'd pick it up too 🤷‍♂️ (who wouldn't?). Really crappy analogy there. Speaking of I once had a 100 dollar bill blow by me in a Walmart parking lot on a windy day.. if only someone was there to clock my 40 time. 😂

You never said if you caught up or if the $100 bill 40 time was faster than yours?

Court TV should have a annual spring/summer series called "NFL off-season". Seems like when a lot of these guys aren't playing football and left on their own, they're getting arrested or getting caught up in stupid ****. Happens every year.

Kinda like the general population?

Actually studies have shown that the general population has a higher arrest rate, by approx. double, than that of nfl players.

Just nobody really cares to report about Dale down the street beating his wife or getting a dui..

I wonder how many in the general public that are arrested make the millions of dollars that NFL athletes do.

I think that's a fair question. Like with dui's there's really no excuse. Get a driver or an uber or whatever. No argument there.

But with many other types of charges these athletes at the end of the day are just people like you or me or Dale down the street, and things happen.
 
Deion, when was the last time you watched an NFL game??? I've been posting for years how the NFL uniform policy is a joke. Players are commonly seen with their pants half way up their thighs, their socks near their ankles, their shirts flaping in the breeze, mouthguards used a chew toys, chin straps loose or unstrapped..............and the list goes on. The only type of penalties delved out by the NFL for policy infractions in 2024 were for mismatched colors (a shade of green on one shoe different than on the other shoe) and a non NFL cap being worn during a post game interview....................none for infractions of the situations I listed above. If the NFL is not going to enforce, its policy, don't use the the policy as a facade to claim respect and integrity of the game.

Deion Sanders wants NFL-style fines for uniform violations in college football
By Michael David Smith
Published July 13, 2025 04:21 AM

When he was an NFL player, Deion Sanders was fined multiple times for uniform violations. Now that Sanders is the Colorado head coach, he’d like to see such fines brought to college football.

Sanders said at Big 12 media days that he dislikes how many players in college football wear their pants down only to their thighs, with nothing covering their knees.

“Let’s do something about the uniforms,” Sanders said. “We’ve got guys in biker shorts. That makes me sick because I’m a football guy — I played this game at a high level and I have so much respect for this game. How can we allow guys out there in biker shorts, no knee pads, no nothing, literally pants up under their thighs, and that’s cool?”

College football officials could enforce the uniform rules by throwing flags on players who don’t wear knee pads, but Sanders said he’d like to see the rule enforced with fines.

“I think there should be a fine implemented for that stuff, and let’s have more respect for this tremendous game,” Sanders said.
Sanders has also said he wishes the NCAA had a salary cap, and that the NCAA would adopt NFL playing rules. As college football becomes more than ever a professional sport, Sanders wants to go all the way and make it as close to the NFL as it can possibly get.
