When talking about guys in clubs with bottles of champagne, I think Goff said "You Look Like a Fairy!"

Did I hear that correctly? I thought they had evolved beyond that.

LOL, okay it wasn't just me. Got in the car around 130 and turned it on. The conversation was all over the place with sexting and drinking. Then Goff said something like "Put down the Champaign, you look like a Fairy."

Then making references to putting it on the glass, sexting.

It was different. Any Seinfeld fans on here? For the second day Goff sounds like Kramer after he won the coffee lawsuit and had unlimited caffee latte's.

He does sound very hyper and spastic.

Both want the draft gone. Irish Boy wins again.

Which one? NFL? All of them? Where do you stand on the draft?

They are referring to the NFL but the same complaints would be true for any league.

I think it's an interesting idea. It is grossly unfair for the players. You would need some sort of rookie money pool still I think.

It's not idiotic to think that the draft is unfair.

College sports don't have a draft and they do alright.

It's not idiotic to think that the draft is unfair. Who is to say that many draft "BUSTS" wouldn't have succeeded with better coaching or organizations?

It is unfair and a bit silly, but there needs to be an equitable distribution of new talent if you're going to have a remotely fair league. It's especially worrisome in the NHL, where you have the paradox of many of your largest revenue generators (Toronto, Montreal, Buffalo, Winnipeg and Edmonton at least per capita) being places where players would sooner die than work, and of course those organizations rely heavily on drafted talent even more than most NHL teams.

correct, it is unfair to the players. however, if you want a professional sports to exist a draft is needed or else over time the league becomes unbalanced.... so the thought of getting rid of drafts is idiotic because it wouldnt work



generally only a handful of the 100+ college teams have a realistic shot at the title because the top talent gravitates to the top teams each year.... thank you for proving my point on why drafts are a necessary "evil" in pro sports.

Well, the salary cap still exists, and if you really want to keep it fair give the worst teams more salary cap money to help them catch up.

Those places where people don't want to work can find ways to convince them by either selling them on how well they will treat and develop them or just offering more money than the Chicago franchise can.

The salary cap still exists. That is what keeps things equal. With no draft, I assume there would be a rookie pool of money and you'd see things like you do in baseball where players get overdrafted or underdrafted based on how much of the pool they are willing to take.

a rookie pool likely just shifts money to the top talent and the 4 thru 7 round talent will end up getting less money. shorter term rookie contracts is an interesting idea but the NFL would never give in to NFLPA on that...

Why do any of you care? The league and union will decide this if they want. You have been trolled.

Let's just think about this hypothetical situation. Imagine the NFL draft doesn't exist. However, the Cleveland Browns are allowed to offer a contract of $28 million over 4 years, and the second team can offer $24 million over 4 years, and the third team can offer $20 million over 4 years and then it goes down for the whole first round. So, a player can choose to sign up to play for the Eagles, but he's going to get $8 million over 4 years instead of playing for the Browns. So, the question is basically how much money are you willing to give up to not play for the Browns?

I think NBA Superteams have shown that players are perfectly fine leaving tens of millions of dollars on the table for the chance to play for a winner when there is almost no league influence on their ability to make a decision on where to play. Dwyane Wade accepted a buyout on a $20 million contract to go be Seventh Chair on the Cavs.
