    Well away from here
    I figured the Bills should try and hire one of their own first and see how it goes. God know the Ouji board hasn't worked out so well.

    How much does this modern day slave make a year? Im thinking i need to be a slave to damn.

    Making a living playing a game. Sounds more like a mans dream to me. Only if we could all be stuck with that ability i think i could really like it.

    Highly educated?
    Being a professional athlete does not equate to being educated or even remotely intelligent.
    Some are intelligent and many are dumb as rocks.

    Also the athletes do not generate Billions for their owners.
    Don't make it seem like an athlete is similar to a Donald Trump or other buisinessmen who build a business and a product that generates income on their own.

    Players are a "part" of an established product that has been built over decades.
    Individually they have created nothing. The game is where it is because of collective efforts of businessmen I.E. owners, who invested heavily in and successfully marketed their product over those decades to make the NFL the most popular sports league in the U.S. These athletes do not create income. They come and go while the product stays.
    I'm pretty sick of the players take in all this and those that defend them like they have created an income stream for the league.

    Regardless of all of the above it's an irrelevant argument towards my comment about Adrian Peterson.
    The comment was strictly in response to his analogy of players in the NFL being comparable to being stuck in a modern day slave system. THAT kind of comment can only come from an ignorant bafoon. If it walks like a bafoon and talks like a bafoon it's a bafoon. AP is a bafoon.

    As for you comment about politicians. They aren't bafoons. They know how to balance budgets and fix issues. They choose not to however. It's more profitable to be dirty and underhanded. Crooked they are but not bafoons.
