Because what? They went to Sea World for Christmas. That’s all you got?

Because they post pep rallies & swimming with dolphins instead of team mtgs & workouts? Good grief.

Anyone earning 6 figures to play a sport isn't a kid.

Nah... There has to be some mechanism.

Nobody cares, really, about non playoff bowl games. Try to relax.

Some of us care about every game on the schedule.
