YELLOW CARD: Untrustworthy
I hear they are handed down from families, and only possible way to get them is when someone can't make it and decides to sell it for that day.

This is true. The waiting list is over 100 years I believe. And that's with 2 separate ticket packages. The Pack used to play 3 games a year in Milwaukee every year, and even now there are 2 games each year for those ticket holders.
My dad has those, so presumably I'll be inheriting them.

2 losing seasons in the last 22 years.
Rodgers is the best QB in the NFL.
No, the tickets are not cheaper, but they aren't that hard to get for a single game really.

I read that he was appealing to be considered a WR so that he can get more money. It seems kind of weird that positions are wage capped so differently. I'd get that people would pay more for a QB, but for that to be translated into a higher wage sounds bizarre.
Jimmy Graham isn't a TE. He's just a slow and soft basketball receiver.
And hard to say Gronk is the best TE as he has spent the last few years injured. When healthy he is the best tight end hands down, though.
Maybe Cameron if he didn't play with the Browns. Possibly Vernon Davis but he's not really a TE either.

all hail Megatron!
otherwise, I spend a lot of time in Dallas, so let me know if you go with the Cowboys and want to vicariously experience a gameday at their amazing stadium ...
if you have any family in the states who are tied to a team or region, you should go with that ...Mus;3698380 said:

The Cowboys are like a Manchester United that never wins.

it's almost as if it is broken down by the more flashier the position the more money it brings.
no fan watches football to watch a lineman block or a punter punt.

Well, the actual concept is more complicated than that. You can pay whatever you want for any player at any position, it's not like TEs are capped and WRs are allowed to get more money. Jimmy Graham is in this situation because he is being "franchise tagged", which extends a player's contract for 1 year without his consent, but his salary for that year is an average of the top 5 players at his position. Teams pay more for WRs, especially the top 5 WRs in the league, so it is far more advantageous for him to be considered a WR for purposes of the franchise tag. The franchise tag is total bullshit, yes, but it was also fairly bargained for between the owners and player's union.
It's kind of like if Theo Walcott got tagged and fought to be considered a striker instead of a winger because strikers make more money.

You really can't resist nicknames can you? I thankfully know who Megatron is but it really must be a sickness for you to respind to a noob asking about best players by stating a nickname.
In reards to the franchise tag, why do you have a clause that allows teams to extend a contract beyond a player's consent? Does that violate some sort of labour law?

you would, Bobby.
Mandieta6;3700991 said:
it doesn't violate any law, like Shifty said it was negotiated between the players and the league as part of the collective bargaining agreement.
it allows a team to keep a player who's contract is up and the team wishes to keep the player whether or not the player wants to stay.
the team pays a heavier price for using the "franchise tag" if the player plays a position which pays a much higher salary.
a player can always hold out but will lose money as fines add up for holding out, wes welker and the patriots are a good example.
Mandieta6;3701135 said:
no it's not a form of slavery, usually when a player is a team player they will accept the tag since it's only for a year.
in welker's case, he wanted a bigger contract and they weren't interested in giving him one, so they slapped him with the "franchise tag".
the players in the NFL elect players and others to represent them at the collective bargaining meetings, if they decided to reach agreement on 'franchising" they have to deal with it as players.

not sure how this works, i am assuming there is a max amount, somewhere around 10 million/1 year.
don't quote me on that but i believe i had heard this on ESPN.
