Antonio Brown Is Being Robbed And Will Not Remember It

Antonio Brown is without question a top 2 receiver in the NFL and the league has been more pass heavy than ever. Yet he isn't even cracking 15 million/year. The NFL is easily the most violent professional sport, unless you're LeBron running on a fast break and run into a really mean Draymond. Running across the middle is child's play. Antonio Brown makes 15 million/ year while only having to deal with linebackers trying to eat his soul. 

Reggie Jackson makes 16 million/year and is mediocre at best when compared to other NBA players. This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen. If I'm an NFL player, I'm super pissed at our CBA and I'm going to lose my mind. The most vicious sport that has the shortest lifespan and they aren't making the money that basketball players or baseball players are. 

Professional football is the most watched sport, followed by baseball. Waaaaaaaaay down the list, you'll find the NBA (just behind NASCAR). It's bonkers that these salaries are able to happen. Yes, they make a ton of money and they make more in a year than I ever will in my life. I have come to terms with this, so please stop reminding me. But I'll be able to count to 5 when/if I make it to age 50, so I've got that going for me. These NFL deals coming through never cease to amaze me at the difference in them and NBA ones, but I only see the gap getting bigger in the years to come. We'll see how it goes though. Just remember Antonio, I had your back. Feel free to hook a brother up with some of that signing bonus.

Jerton Evans is a Bum

Yo Jerton, you're fired. I'm going to publicly state that I'm counter-suing you because you sucked so bad as a coach. Dude has some balls. You just went 2-8 and lost 7 straight to end the season. Do you really have to know why you got fired? I coached the defense of a 1* New Mexico on NCAA 13 on Heisman difficulty and did better than you bro.

You really want to look at the results from last season and argue that you were fired because you were black? You were garbage. If you would have won even 4 games, I would give you a little bit of the benefit of the doubt. However, you were only able to beat a trashy Cumberland Gap team and a trashier Union County team. CONGRATS!!!! You should get a raise for sure!!!! Bro, Union County didn't have a single win on the season and Cumberland Gap's only win was over a winless Chattanooga Central team. And you have the balls to think your performance was worth an encore?

Reading the article about your lawsuit makes me hate you even more. You're seeking $750,000 because that's what will make this right? Crushing the school's budget to mend your hurt feelings? You are a clown. I'm glad you got fired. Also, stop claiming you played in the NFL. You played in the NFL Europe. Not even close bro. You know what not even close means, right? It's a fair way to describe the scores in the football games you coached. Good riddance clown and I hope the jury hits you with a stiff arm and you don't get a penny.

Life as a hero

Watching the movie Chronicle today and it got my creative juices flowing. If you haven't seen the movie, I don't anticipate that this will ruin any of it that a preview already hasn't. In the movie, three young men gain supernatural powers and document their transformation. The friends include Andrew (an odd teen who is socially awkward), his cousin Matt (basically his only friend), and Steve (the popular kid in school aka Michael B. Jordan).

The thought that ran through my head was along the lines of picking out a crew of athletes that I could be a superhero with. For the sake of keeping this standardized for everyone, I'll set a couple of  rules:

1) You must pick an athlete from each the MLB, NBA, and NFL.

2) You cannot have two athletes who play for teams in the same city (i.e. no picking one city's teams and going all in)

My crew would be Kris Bryant (MLB), Willie Cauley-Stein (NBA), and Aaron Rodgers (NFL). You may ask yourself "why in the world would you get these three for your crew?" The main logic that I'm bringing is that I think they would be the best combination to have around for an extended period of time. Only Bryant was extremely highly rated out of high school, and even at that was an 18th round selection. Cauley-Stein was a top-50 prospect, but was at best a project. He developed well and found himself going #6 in the past draft. Rodgers is the biggest outlier, He did not even have a Division 1 offer out of high school and found himself at a junior college until getting the opportunity at California. He then found himself projected to go number 1 overall but falling to 24.

All of this played a role in my selecting of the three athletes. Nobody wants to be hanging out with people who have always been given everything they want. Hanging with the boys who fought their way to the top and likely do not have the diva complex of the normal stars sounds better to me. I feel like these three are cool enough to hang with that I wouldn't go insane. And if we're being honest, that's what we'd all want from our superhero crew. Just hanging with the boys, tormenting strangers, and living the dream.

 So who is in your crew? Comments are always welcomed!
