Goodell Takes A Stand

Football commish Roger Goodell believes NFL rookies are overpaid. "There's something wrong about the system... The money should go to people who perform."

Yeah. I fucking hate people who try to make as much dough as possible in a violent sport that doesn't have guaranteed contracts. It's insane that a guy who knows his entire career could come crashing down with a single chop-block to the knee after the whistle blows would want to ensure that he actually has the money needed to support himself if and when the shit goes to shit.

Also, if Goodell believes only people who perform should be well-compensated, then most NFL kickers would need second jobs and food stamps to make a living.
