one time i found a $20 bill on the ground

matthew stafford has apparently reached an agreement to terms of a contract with the new-look lions guaranteeing him $41.7 million. let me just get this one out for all of us.

WTF

dude has never played a snap in the nfl, probably hasn't even met his future teammates, probably not even the best quarterback in the draft, and he is set for life. off of one contract. 6 years. that's it, that's all he has to work for his entire life. you know, i don't complain when people like matt ryan get paid, because that guy goes out and busts his ass and makes that money. something about stafford just screams bust to me, i can't pinpoint it. he's got the physical tools and such, and i mean yeah he won bowl games, which is supposed to show me he can play under pressure. because everyone knows there's a shitload of pressure carrying your team to a victory in the capital one bowl. i'm sure poor matthew was just sweating that one out for weeks.

anyway, goodell has been talking about rookie salary caps recently, and i wholeheartedly agree it's a great idea. at this pace, in the 2020 nfl draft, the top pick will have a guaranteed $100 million. which suddenly doesn't seem so ridiculous. once again, WTF.

by the way, lions logo-creation staff, adding a few whisps of white lines on adobe illustrator does not a new logo make. it's the same damn lion, you just gave it fangs. and you're a team based in cold, overcast detroit and you wear freaking honolulu blue jerseys. i'm telling you, NO team can be intimidated by an opponent that comes out the tunnel looking like a fresh pack of skittles. i bet that's why roy williams got out. he just felt too delicious and sweet in that cute jersey!
