“A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that.

So what happened to that money? Or put another way, why was such a meaningless fraction of it spent on recruiting new players? It's one thing not to compete; it's quite another not to even attempt to do so.” KnowsWayMindMayPastGonePlayerHappenedOne ThingTeamFootballMonthsTablesBottomSoccerAnalysisLeaguePrizeMeaninglessAnother WayInadequateAugustFractionsPremier LeagueDerbyPrize Money Author:Pete Gill

“As a young rookie NFL player, you go to the rookie symposium and the one thing they tell you is, "You guys know what the NFL stands for?" Everybody looks around like, "National Football League...?" The guy's like, "Nope - Not For Long." They tell you right there to get prepared for your second life.
