Players to Goodell: We'd like a jet, lifetime insurance and $50 million, too

[buddieluver]

"None of the players receive any of those type of compensations, and if a guy that’s not suiting up can demand those type of things, then I feel like the players should be able to demand those type of things and make as much money as a guy that’s not playing in the NFL.

"Those things really bother me because this business wouldn’t operate without the players. I’ve been in this league for eight years and the only coach that I really seen understand that and abide by that has been Jim Harbaugh, when it comes to putting the players first.

"In regards to [Goodell’s] contract, I just don’t think that’s respectable, in regards to the players, and just a slap in the face just due to the job that we have. It just, it doesn’t make sense, just because he’s the commissioner that he gets to make that much money and it be guaranteed. No player in this league has that opportunity and I feel like we should."

These player's make enough money. If not for the fans, they wouldn't have squat. Half of these player's have no respect which makes them prima donna's. I could care less about them. I'm so fed up with the NFL right now that I only watch the 'Boys play.

Pretty much why I rooted for the owners all these years. After Goodell I'll root for them mainly just to stick it to him. As for football it's the Cowboys and nothing else for me. Probably take a nap this afternoon until the game comes on. lol

Congressman level compensation and beyond, just pure madness....

If Goodell signs an extension, then I'm done with the NFL.

It's as simple as that for me.
