    Northwestern University football players can unionize, federal agency says

    Well I guess we aren't going to agree on this but I think you're vastly underestimating the value of the education. And no, the school can't make the players use that opportunity. But it is provided to them, and they get tutors and all kinds of help that the average student never gets. If...

    Northwestern University football players can unionize, federal agency says

    Not to speak for him, but when jeebus says the market has already decided, I assume he means that there is no "minor league" or 18-20 year old league that has started up for players who don't want to go to college. And there's absolutely nothing standing the way of that if someone wanted to do...

    You aren't kidding. What the hell.

    Russia to raise price of Ukraine gas by 80%

    Dude... I don't like Obama or his politics, either. But do you ever think that you weaken your arguments when you blame him for every single thing? This question goes back a lot farther than him.

    Russia to raise price of Ukraine gas by 80%

    I'm not excusing Putin, and it's very hard to know what to believe and what not to believe in this whole situation. But if we really did support and provide aid to the group(s) that overthrew Yanokovich, why? Why would we get involved like that?

    Northwestern University football players can unionize, federal agency says

    But that's the problem -- the devil is in the details. Surely paying Cam Newton the same as a third string guard wouldn't last long. How do you possibly create a system that's "fair" in this case? The only way is to let the market decide, and then you're into a full scale true professional...

    He's not perfect, but electrifying Texas A&M QB is best choice for Texans at No. 1

    I'm sure every team likes him a lot. He might be really, really good. People know he's a good player but I'm thinking he might be a truly dominant type. He's not exactly the same but he reminds me a little of Dez with how big and strong he is and how he just owns the DB when the ball is in...

    He's not perfect, but electrifying Texas A&M QB is best choice for Texans at No. 1

    He looked pretty good, but it's just throwing against air... I wish I'd seen Bridgewater's supposedly terrible session to compare it to. Still say Mike Evans might be really, really good, too.

    Well, Title IX as we know it hasn't been around all that long. But it sounds like you're talking about a bigger stipend or something, which would be fine. They're talking about being employees. And when that happens, how do you determine how much they make? You think the players will be...

    They exist because football pays for them. Without those big profits, those sports go away. Why do you hate "handouts" in this case?

    Personally, I hate capitalism. But I'd think they'd feel a little bit bad.

    Has a guy's Pro Day ever been broadcast live by NFLN? Maybe so and I just never noticed.

    Absolutely absurd. But not that surprising the NLRB ruled that way. If this were somehow successful, which I still don't think it will be, I wonder how these players feel about killing women's athletics?

    Jerry Jones: Missing playoffs won't cost Jason Garrett.

    I can't believe he constantly brings this up as such a big point in his favor. Hey dumbass, you've flopped horribly all three years when you had the division there for the taking. That's not a positive. I'm with Laz and Mid. Al Davis might have made idiotic hires (Kiffin) but at least he'd...

    Goose: Here's my four-step plan to fix the NFL; it includes many more trips to London

    Don't agree with most of this other than eliminating two preseason games, and even then I think 16 games is enough. Hate the idea of London football, and playing games in LA with no team there is idiotic. LA couldn't even support a team of its own -- how is it going to support Cleveland vs...

    Why Mark Cuban thinks the NFL will implode in 10 years

    He's just talking his book. And he's a bigger attention whore than Jerry. How many nights a week is the NBA on TV?
