If they took it away fans (and bettors) would complain that they miss it.

These guys make millions & millions, no reason they should be complaining simply because once in a while they have to work an odd day of the Week.

But CK, aren't there far more 'Real' jobs in which safety is a much larger concern & higher risk, that pay lousy on the hour?

This is probably best post since you got here. The players safety is a bunch of bullshit. They get paid millions and live lavishly. I dont want to hear guys, that would otherwise be qualified to work a drive through at KFC, crying about playing a game a few days earlier. Far more dangerous jobs people do every fukin day that get paid jack shit and in many cases dont get shit for benefits either. Millions of people have it way worse off but we are supposed to cry for these guys. What a joke. Play football and quit fukin whining.

Not a nice price -- $660 Mill per year, much more than the last couple years on NBC/CBS

shocked FOX dished out anywhere near that much money with the ratings the way they have been for a while now.
