meh, I guess it's good that Manning isnt on the cover, that means he wont get injured. Has the dude ever missed a start?

Geez, how many times do I have to tell you guys. They pick the Madden cover guy out of a hat, with all the best players from the previous year in the hat.

A. It's always been on ESPN
B. The draft is seriously one of the most boring things ever. If you actually watch like all 14 hours of it or something then WOW. Just get the rundown in the paper the next morning

If you find a feed hook me up man. Last year I didn't see anything and just listened to streamed ESPN radio while doing other stuff. Would be pretty nice to see the NY fans just go mental every other pick instead of just hearing them though.

Like I read somewhere else, the person on the cover of Madden usually represents what that years Madden focuses on. When Ray Lewis was on the cover, hit stick. McNabb, that stupid passing shit. Alexander, all that blocking stuff I don't use. So I figure they picked Young because they plan to focus on Superstar mode

I do agree. Chad Johnson is the greatest WR or all time. Besides Jerry Rice, he is also one or the greatest WR's or all time. And as for the draft. I'm watching rounds 1-5.....I got nothing else to do lol. I might just watch 1-3.

Pretty unreal how good the Pats have been at drafting players, especially the later rounds - even excluding Tom Brady.

Before RP goes on the rampage Colts have been pretty good too. Seattle and San Diego seem to make good picks pretty much all the time too (exceptions, obviously).

You think Urlacher didn't get paid to do that? Companys have been doing that shit for years (trying to sneak in with hats and shit like that) so I guess the NFL is starting to crack down on it (I highly doubt Vitamin Water paid him 100,000 to do it, so now that move actaully lost him money)

Gatorade pays huge money to have the exculsive rights so they don't want some company using ambush marketing techniques to get a piece of the market while paying a way lot less money

lol come on stima. It's not fair at all to Urlacher. If the NFL wants to be sponsored by a corporation that's fine, but it's ridiculous for them to fine Urlacher any more than what Vitamin Water paid him

can't tell if you're joking or not.

It voilates the NFLPA contract with the NFL. He knew what he was doing and who knows what he got paid.

That being said, slapping him with 100K fine will keep others from doing it, although I suspect some big company will make a deal with a player to pay them and pickup the fine just for the press.

Also, remember this isn't like a rookie undrafted, this is a well paid player, the 100K wont make him homeless.

not a horrible idea, but what makes you think the person in charge of the team still wouldn't be "some idiot who knows nothing about baseball". Someone still has to run the team, make decisions on who the coach, gm, trainers, trades, free agents etc...

Most pro sports teams already do generate plenty of money for the local area, taxes on gameday sales (from beer to dogs to jerseys), keeping people employed (working at the stadium, then payroll tax), real estate tax, vendors outside the stadium having business (paying licenses and taxes), players salaires which are tax'd like any other employee, hotels and hotel sales and taxes, tourism from visiting teams.

The trade off is now, if a team has a bad year a loses money it doesn't effect the city/town/state.

Also, I'm not sure how your plan changes players making 25mil/year, unless you plan on a salary cap (see: football and basketball for examples) which doesn't exactly eliminate top salaries (and see nfl signing bonuses) a nd the nba (which has more "exception rules" then I've ever been able to figure out, starting with the "larry bird" rule that you could go over the cap if re-signing your own player).

If you mean a cap on how much a player can earn, who decides that amount and shouldn't we do the same with an actor getting 20mil for a movie? and then make the movie studios under public control?

I've never had an issue with free agency or players salaries, the players will get what teams can afford and fans will pay, just like movie stars and such. I have no issue with free agency because it would be like telling a sales rep for Verizon in MA he can't take a job making more money selling for Sprint in NH.

Now, if you want to talk salary cap to level the playing field for "smaller market teams" (see: Red Sox, Yanks vs. Royals) I can see an argument there, still not sure how you tell an owner they "can't" spend their money because someone else doesn't make as much, but in the spirit of competition or more making money for the league (see: Teams like KC that only sell tickets when the Sox & Yanks visit) that's a fair argument.

I just used the Yankees as an example because as we all know, Steinbrenner doesn't know shit about fielding a competitive baseball team. I think the general manager should be in charge and make personnel decisions from the coaching staff to the players. I think all a manager should do is set the lineup and keep a positive attitude around his players. The hitting coach should instruct the hitters how to hit, the pitching coach should instruct the pitchers how to pitch, etc., etc. The GM (ex: of the Mariners) would be elected by a popular vote of the citizens (ex: of Seattle).

I believe any money generated by the sports teams should go to the federal government (elected by popular vote) and they can spend it on national debt & education.

US citizens

It is what it is, the NFL is a business and they are going to do whatever it takes to keep companies from using ambush marketing techniques. Not saying I think it is the greatest thing ever or something, but it makes sense. If the NFL is gonna make who knows how much million because Gatorade is willing to pay so much for the "exclusive" rights then they are going to do whatever it takes to ensure that Gatorade is receiving the exclusive rights. Lets say the NFL did nothing about this, and other players kept wearing Vitamin Water hats to press conferences, Gatorade would probably be pretty pissed and demand that they pay a lot less since they aren't the exclusive sponsor.

I also have a hard time admitting that anything is unfair to a dude who gets paid millions to play a game

If they fined Urlacher because he was wearing the wrong colored hat on the sidelines or something I could see some disagreement with the ruling. He was wearing a hat for advertising purposes though, so I dunno

and you would be fined and eventually suspended and as the miz put it, flipping burgers.

It's like any other job, there are rules, working in most retail stores requires a certain dress code so does the nfl, most coproate companies have shirt/tie requirements, some jobs require suits.

to stima comment about socks, the NFL is actually the most strict about dress code, and has someone at each game checking player uniforms and has been known to fine players for everything from sock color to length of towel, those I agree are silly.

As for the vit water thing, can't see how there's any debate here. It doesn't stop him from doing commercials on his own time, just limits him from using the nfl to advertise for a company that isn't a sponser...

That being said, I think powerade would be more of a pissy thing for gatoraid... I drink Vit Water but never think of it was a "replenishing" drink like gatorade or powerade.

Yeah the uniform rules are really dumb, getting fined $5000 if your socks don't meet a certain criteria and things like that but I have no problems with Urlacher getting fined for being a walking billboard during a sponsored NFL event.
