Home games, practices and camp pay. Yes in the NFL you pay game day taxes on where game is played.
You just can't resist bringing up old stuff that has been talked about to death? Everyone else can manage to bring up new takes but you just think "hey I'll talk about how bad the old running backs and coaches were." There have been entire threads devoted to that topic. You add nothing to the conversation.
And bringing up a comment from another thread is poor form.
Sooooo he stole Jonathan Allen and Da'Shawn Hand (both number 1 recruits in the state of virginia in back to back years) to play for his D-Line?????????
Kendall to Panthers in 2nd
Dadi to Cowboys in 5th
Maddy to Miami in 6th
Malleck to Packers in 7th
Getting a few dollars or something slipped to a player from a fan or booster is one thing. The schools setting up a payment plan for his mom's rent and utilities is something else.
Boo hoo - instead of $4 million a year he got...what...$2 million a year?
Sorry but i'm not sympathetic at all to any athlete who complains about $$$ they get per contract.
I similarly think the NFL is a manipulative and steaming pile of shit, but I digress.
Tangent: It's interesting that the NFL players have a "Union" whereas us minor folks don't.
EDIT: If it wasn't clear, I am for unions. I find it ironic that a multi million dollar industry has one and we all support it, yet we're all divided if unions are good for this country as a whole.
Obviously, the guy is being fired due to these latest Ole Miss allegations.
At Bama, "pay for play" is a game you have to win.
What retirement calculator are you using to get $36,000/yr?
Is Malleck entered in the draft?
I think Kendall goes second round.
I am not arguing that they aren't a valuable commodity, my point was not all of the owners are making money hand over fist. The Packers HAVE to disclose their statements, the other Owners hate them because then their shares from the NFL are also public knowledge.
I will say this about Tunsil, considering the best night of his life got disrupted in the worst possible way, I thought he handled himself pretty damn well. (And he lost literally $8 million)
Especially with the questions about taking the money. He literally found out about those images being leaked while he was being interviewed by the reporter pool for the first time. I thought he handled it about as maturely as could be expected, and answered honestly.
At this point I might actually root for him to be an absolute stud. I loved the answer the Lions GM had when asked if they would have taken Tunsil if he had been available when they picked, and he said something to the effect of "If we eliminated every college player that smoked weed from our Draft Board, we wouldn't be left with a whole lot of guys to choose from"
He stands up, if that's what you mean.
8 home games in Miami"ish" would not have income tax.
The 8 Away game checks would have appropriate taxes for each state the game is held in, though.
I would gladly take a nightmare that I wake up from millions of dollars richer. He was drafted 13th in the draft and will probably go on and have a great career in the NFL.
We definitely need to pick up either DT or C in the second round. Especially with talent like Reed and Billings falling.
Yes, he was apparently arrested for assault of his stepfather and I believe that the story is that Laremy confronted the stepfather because he thought that the stepfather was roughing up his mother. I read somewhere that Laremy went into their house, grabbed the guy, and held him up against a wall. The charges were subsequently dropped. I'm guessing a GM would classify this differently than if he had gotten an assault charge for beaten up his girlfriend or some sort of violence against a woman. Now the stepfather is suing him for, like, mental anguish or something. I don't know his stepfather from Adam but he sounds like a piece of work.
Well of course they're getting money. The majority kids on every BCS schools roster are getting money under the table. I said the same thing a while back and was laughed at. Every one cheats. If you don't cheat, you're behind.
Definitely*
All your tax are belong to us.
you pay game day pay taxes on where game.
...wut?
That's about $36K a year... not including interest that could be acquired. I'm no CFA, but putting a couple hundred thousand in the bank at age 24 would
surelymore probable than not be enough to retire on 56 years later.
FIFM
"At least if you fall, you fall to a team in a state with no income tax."
Haha! Love that about Florida! That probably only counts for home games, though. I can think of a state that will want their share.
Looking at you, Maryland.
That's about $36K a year... not including interest that could be acquired. I'm no CFA, but putting a couple hundred thousand in the bank at age 24 would surely be enough to retire on 56 years later.
Ehhh that's a huge gamble to take, though...
One bad month in the stock market (2007 and 2008 is proof of this) and half that investment could be wiped out overnight. Happened to my in-laws, who had their retirement gutted overnight by an incompetent investment adviser who let them lose a high 6 figure amount before disclosing the information to them, completely altering the course of their retirement (including the loss of their house, and the need to work an additional 10-15 years before retiring). And this doesn't account for inflation, which would potentially devalue that lump sum more over time than interest would increase it.
That's a lot of risk to put on a player who is legitimately putting his body and brain on the line for our enjoyment.
The "majority" of NFL players have a career less than 3 years, and for less than $1M. You can't live on $2M from age 24-80, if that's your only income.
I would have to disagree. That's about $36K a year... not including interest that could be acquired. I'm no CFA, but putting a couple hundred thousand in the bank at age 24 would surely be enough to retire on 56 years later. I don't feel bad for broke NFL players who make 2 Million. Neither do the folks in Mississippi where the median salary $37K
47 Kentucky $41,141
Guam $38,973 - - - -
48 Arkansas $38,758
49 West Virginia $38,482
50 Mississippi $36,919
1 preseason game has taxes NJ, and 7 away games in taxes. Still a good deal.
