Is there any lazier take on players' salaries (by either an ex-jock or a talking head) than so-and-so "needs to get paid"?

From soon to be over-the-hill RBs (like Todd Gurley) to over-priced diva WRs - it is always "this guy needs to get paid."  Instead of actually putting some thought into the process and deciding whether said performer is a valuable asset - or just an addition to the bottom line that will drag a team down for years to come.

I need to get paid to read this

I hope you weren’t paid to post this. 

i think we're hearing paid but OP wrote blave, which we all knows means to bluff. i mean, what sane poster wouldn't know that ?

Billy Crystal approves this post

For example, just after I posted the original (in retrospect bad) post, I turned on ESPN (regretfully) and saw the braniac Max Kellerman espousing why Alvin Kamara needed to get paid - IMMEDIATELY!

I wouldn't mind getting paid what they're getting paid before they get paid.

Exactly my (poorly made) point, originally...

I just get so exhausted by the lazy analysis by the talking heads - particularly on the four letter network.  No thinking - just toeing the company line.

This is why you should turn off the news and get all of your information here in WU. 

You're not wrong

 

Football is the only real team, prime time, gladiator sport. While their salaries are ridiculous, if I was risking life and limb every practice, every game, I'd like to be paid too.

I see that the Eagles are "offering" to put your photo on a cutout to sit in the stands.

Only $100 a pop. I'd want my cut too, if I was risking my health.

Anyone that is going to work right now is risking their health.
