Gambling Addicts Suicides = Billions for the NFL

Per fherehab.com, gamblers have the highest suicide rate, proportionately, of any addiction. While there are more drug and alcohol addicts (about 25 to 30 million in the US) as opposed to 10 million or so pathological gamblers, a larger percentage of gamblers attempt or complete suicide.

Per Google, up to half of people in gambling disorder treatment have suicidal thoughts, and about 17% have attempted suicide. A 2018 Swedish study found that people with problem gambling had a suicide mortality rate that was 15 times higher than the rest of the population. According to studies, people with gambling disorder have the highest suicide rate of any addiction disorder, with one in five attempting suicide.

A gambling addict is five times more likely to die by suicide than a drug addict or alcoholic — thank god online sports betting and betting apps are now ubiquitous and you can bet on every play, every down in every NFL game!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I wanted to discuss an addiction that is fairly invisible compared to other addictions like drugs, alcohol, opioids and food — gambling.

You can't see that someone has gambled themselves into debilitating debt or bankruptcy.

There is no visible weight gain, change in physical appearance, behaviors, mannerisms or behavior like there is with other addictions.

If the gambling addict doesn't disclose their addiction, unless you somehow have access to their financial records, or unless their addiction gets to the point where it costs them their job or their residence — there is no way you would know they have a gambling addiction unless they tell you.

Unlike liquor, fentanyl, cocaine, percocet, vicodin, oxycontin, junk food, fast food and other addictions which have visible markers — gambling addiction doesn't.

Gambling addiction is the most invisible and the most deadly addiction.

Gambling addiction has the highest rate of suicide.

That is why I wanted to discuss and examine what the NFL has done in terms of exploiting gambling addiction for profit during the last day of Mental Health Awareness month.

The NFL is literally profiting off of gamblers' addictions, misery, depression and suicides and I don't see much discussion around it.

Restless, desperate, depressed, suffering, irritable, in debt, broke, broken down, suicidal — exactly the type of gamblers the NFL covets, creates, endlessly preys on and exploits.

The 2020 CBA doesn't involve a financial agreement for the players regarding compensation for online sports betting on NFL games and fantasy football.

The players are the ones being betted on and moved around as pawns in peoples fantasy leagues, they're the ones incurring the permanent brain damage every single season and assuming all the risk yet getting exactly zero of the reward as it is set up in the CBA to go exclusively to team owners unlike say television deals and rights which players share a part of the revenue with the league.

Online sports betting now that it is allowed inside NFL arenas as of 2023 is expected to explode in further popularity — the players will see exactly zero additional revenue from this.

Per MSNBC.com:

"But the rise in sports gambling on the internet and phone has accelerated the prevalence of gambling addiction. The ease with which people can access online sports gambling platforms is frightening. The states love it, as they are getting dollars from the gamblers. Nor is there any effort to restrict its visibility, the way tobacco ads have largely been banned. These sportsbooks bring in billions a year, while millions of lives are ruined. They depend upon compulsive gamblers, sucking them dry while misery mounts not just for themselves, but for their friends and families. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence and big gambling data, there are different types of bets that can be offered every few seconds while watching games in real time.

Much of the growth has been in the online betting platforms that offer a dizzying number of wagers that change minute-to- minute. A flood of advertising, technology that allows for one-click betting at home, and nearly unlimited betting options during games have collided. In the past five years, there has been an explosion of online sports betting apps from companies like DraftKings, FanDuel and Caesars. Focus on gambling disorders has historically been minimal in the United States. This is in part because people with gambling disorders have been viewed as foolish or lacking willpower. We equate the ability to hold onto money and win money with success and equate losing with greed."

Per CNN.com:

"Many states naively or some other way went about legalizing sports betting without adequately estimating the costs on problem gambling resources," said John Holden, an associate professor of management at Oklahoma State University who studies sports gambling regulation."

They estimated the costs on problem gambling — they want people addicted to gambling.

The NFL wants this because its billions more in revenue for them and, remember, the most recent 2020 CBA does not allocate any revenue that the NFL generates from online sports betting and fantasy football to the players that are sacrificing their bodies and minds to make the NFL that money.

So, the NFL reaps all the rewards while the players are the ones on the field taking all of the risks and not making a single solitary dime and we are talking about billions in revenue.

Talk about a slave plantation when 70% of the players are black and 0% of the owners are black yet black men only make up 6% of the US population.

Modern day slavery.

Per CNN.com:

"Many recovering gambling addicts feel helpless against the constant barrage of advertising encouraging betting on games.  "We consider it to be predatory advertising because it's incessant and it glamorizes gambling," Grondin said."

Its incessant, glamorizing, ubiquitous and being done in partnership with the NFL so the ads are relentlessly shown during games and parlays and betting lines are discussed by analysts during the pre-game show.

The ads and marketing are literally inescapable, just like a stalker and true predator — predatory.

Per CNN.com:

"Regulators are wary of how tightly they can curtail messages in gambling advertising without running afoul of First Amendment protections on commercial speech. "A lot of state regulators have big First Amendment fears," Holden said. "No one wants to fund litigation or lose a Supreme Court case over gambling."

The First Amendment is being used to protect predatory advertising targeting vulnerable gambling addicts that have a suicide rate five times higher than alcohol & drug addicts?!

That's freedom of expression?!

Per CNN.com:

"In most states, the legal age for sports betting is 21 years old. But ads during games, in stadiums, and with star athlete sponsors normalizes sports betting for kids and teenagers, critics say. The United Kingdom last year banned top athletes and celebrities from appearing in ads endorsing or promoting gambling to try to curb underage gambling. That's unlikely to happen in the United States."

The United States of capitalist excess, exploitation, overconsumption, materialism, consumerism, addictions, compulsions, disordered behaviors, binges, highest individual debt in the world, highest cost of living, glamorizing addictive behavior, spend spend spend, buy buy buy, shop till you drop, money makes the world go round, money buys happiness, retail therapy, hey you never know, publishers clearing house, $100k pyramid, lets make a deal!, dystopian game shows reality shows & competition shows, dying to gamble, dying to win, bankruptcy, foreclosures, repossessions, evictions, overcompensating, impressing people you want to know, kissing ass, keeping up with the joneses, obsessions, adrenaline rushes, vicarious thrills, dying to feel alive, chasing down highs, monotony of modern life, cubicle slave, worker bee, 9 to 5 drudgery, the excitement of winning your parlay, beating the odds, beating the system, coming out on top, becoming a millionaire, quitting your day job, instantaneous wealth, everybody else is doing it, seductive ads, predatory ads, alluring ads, compelling ads, Jamie Foxx, Gronk, Kevin Hart, Draft Kings, FanDuel, hot blondes, Buffalo Wild Wings, filling up your empty existence, finally winning at something, distractions from the constant drudgery of daily life, beating the doldrums, not totally up to luck & chance, using knowledge of football to beat the odds, finally getting rewarded for all these years of being a fan, makes watching the games more interesting, being more invested as a fan, threatening a players life for fucking up your parlay, sending death threats to a running back with a season ending and potentially career altering injury for fucking up your parlay, dehumanization of the players, dehumanization of the self.

Make the NFL plantation 100% white owners richer and richer off of the backs of their 70% black slaves...

Per APA.org:

"People can gamble around the clock from anywhere and, increasingly, at many ages, including teenagers and even young children who are well below the legal age for gambling. Starting young carries a relatively high burden of psychological distress and increased chances of developing problems. The National Institutes of Health has agencies dedicated to problem alcohol use and drug use, but there are no official efforts aimed at problem gambling, and there are no federal regulations against advertisements for sports betting.

An estimated 96% of people with gambling problems have at least one other psychiatric disorder. Substance use disorders, impulse-control disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders are particularly common among people with gambling problems."

The sports betting & fantasy betting ads target and exploit people who already struggle with impulse and self control and encourages them to make risky bets, bet impulsively and to lose whatever self control they have and bet with Draft Kings now now now every play every down how many yards how many catches how many forced fumbles how many interceptions how many pass break up attempts how many first downs how many QB rushes how many QB hurries how many sacks how many tackles for loss.

Every imaginable stat at your fingertips, the NFL's dream, and an addictive bettor's worst nightmare...

Per APA.org, "Vulnerability is high in people with low incomes who have more to gain with a big win."

Targeting the working poor already being exploited by capitalism just like the alcohol, fast food, soda, snacking and credit card rewards companies do.

Per APA.org, "Unlike rewards given after every repetition of a behavior, this type of variable ratio reinforcement, or intermittent reinforcement, exploits a cognitive distortion that makes a gambler view each loss as one step closer to a win and can lead to very rapid adoption of a behavior that can then be hard to extinguish. Animals exhibit the same patterns."

Psychological exploitation, psyops, psychological warfare.

Per APA. org, "As many as 90% or more of people with gambling problems never seek help. Nower has proposed three main pathways that can lead to gambling problems. For one group of people, habitual gambling pushes them to chase wins until they develop a problem. A second group comes from a history of trauma, abuse, or neglect, and gambling offers an escape from stress, depression, and anxiety. A third group may have antisocial or impulsive personalities with risk-taking behaviors."

Recall this from earlier in my article: "An estimated 96% of people with gambling problems have at least one other psychiatric disorder. Substance use disorders, impulse-control disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders are particularly common among people with gambling problems."

And this from the above quote from APA.org: "A second group comes from a history of trauma, abuse, or neglect, and gambling offers an escape from stress, depression, and anxiety."

This is a complete and total set up to target vulnerable populations already more susceptible to gambling addictions with predatory ads — the NFL, Draft Kings & FanDuel are partially responsible for the deaths of gambling addicts that are committing suicide at five times the rate of alcohol and drug addicts and they could give a fuck less.

APA.org:

"In 2023, at its peak, according to news reports, the betting platform FanDuel reported taking 50,000 bets per minute. Sports bettors trend young: The fastest-growing group of sports gamblers are between 21 and 24 years old, according to an analysis by Nower's group of data from New Jersey, which legalized sports gambling in 2018. Compared with other kinds of gambling, the in-game betting offered during sports games is highly dependent on impulsivity, Nower said.

There are opportunities to place bets during the game on everything from who will win the coin toss to which quarterback will throw 100 yards first to how long the national anthem will last. And impulsivity is particularly common in younger people and among sports fans caught up in the emotion of a game, Nower said.

About 14% of sports bettors reported thoughts of suicide and 10% said they had made a suicide attempt, she and colleagues found in one New Jersey study."

And gambling addicts have a suicide rate five times higher than alcohol and drug addicts — five times! And the NFL could give less than a fuck.

Per APA.org:

"Because of gambling on mobile phones and tablets, there's no real way to keep children from gambling on their parents', friends', or siblings' accounts. And they're being bombarded with all these advertisements. This is a recipe for problems among a lot of young people."

"We educate our kids in our school systems about alcohol use, drug use, drinking and driving, and unprotected sex," Derevensky said. "It's very difficult to find jurisdictions and school boards that have gambling prevention programs."

The NFL likes to get them while they're young and vulnerable and easy to exploit — just like Pop Warner.

Some observations from NFL Reddit:

"If you just do it on your phone you may not fully appreciate the consequences or realize how much you are actually wagering. At a certain point it just feels like another addicting cell phone game. Which is exactly what the gambling companies want."

"Simmons, etc. frame parlays as a "smart guy" way to play but if you look at it from a business perspective the books have a much higher take rate on parlays which is why they are getting promoted so much. So it's pretty much a lie. But smart gamblers don't do any of the things that would be advised on podcasts. They might sweat individual bets but also generally understand that bad beats are part of life, they are not wagering emotionally on or against teams that they dislike for whatever reason. Also the online books will start limiting you as soon as you win, so it's basically a waste of time if you are trying to be a "smart" gambler..."

This instant gambling, 'take out your phone and bet right now!' ubiquitous exploitative mantra in every ad and during every game is so fucking predatory and exploitative — just like the NFL — who is making billions off of gambling every single season.

For the NFL, the more addicts, the more suicides, the more lives ruined, the better.

More NFL Reddit observations:

"A lot of people consume the NFL through the lens of fantasy (people like to own their friends) and gambling (people like the thrill of winning/losing money), so the NFL is now dependent on those to sustain interest in the sport as a whole. We're going to see more gambling and fantasy content in the future."

"It has increased football's hold on people. Along with fantasy, it's a reason to follow all of the games as opposed to just your team's games."

"I know so many people that would have never gambled if it weren't so accessible and heavily promoted."

"It's ruining sports, it's ruining watching sports with people. We all know guys whose lives basically revolve around their daily bets."

The NFL revels in creating future gambling addicts and future suicides — just like their current players quietly developing CTE and later committing suicide decades after they finish playing.

The NFL makes billions upon billions with online sports betting and fantasy football with an audience mostly made up of men — who develop gambling addictions at double the rate of women — yet they cant significantly and seriously fund any studies on gambling addiction yet gambling addicts commit suicide at five times the rate of alcohol and drug addicts?

$6 million is what the NFL contributed to sports betting research in the same year they made over $3 billion from online sports betting. Do the math.

Just like the NFL's reluctance to acknowledge CTE and fund research into it, the NFL refuses to seriously commit to funding research on gambling addiction because of how massively they are benefitting and profiting from gambling addicts to the tune of billions of dollars a year.

Just like their stance on CTE for decades, the NFL doesn't want to know.

The Supreme Court legalized online sports betting in 2018 and it is legal six years later in over 38 states — legal, instantly accessible on mobile phones, apps and tablets with ubiquitous and predatory ads with ultra famous athletes and celebrities from Gronkowski and Kevin Hart to pregame analysts endlessly spouting off about parlays, prop bets, over/unders, spreads, picks, who's going to score next ad nauseum.

Final NFL Reddit Observations:

"Avoiding your addiction is critical to recovery. By advertising constantly, you are more likely to recapture those recovering addicts. Gambling is a psychological addiction so the advertising component is more important."

"I'm sick to fucking death of how sports betting, gambling is spreading like herpes. I didn't have particularly strong feelings until I saw one commercial whose eyes literally lit up with pleasure on opening some gambling app. Something about this new sports betting world arouses such disgust in me I can barely speak. It's spreading into paid partnerships where just using an app 'unlocks' some bullshit offer to start gambling 'risk free'. By far it's some of the sleaziest, most manipulative marketing I've ever seen and I hate it."

"Sports betting is as addictive as drugs and maybe worse because it's been normalized as a leisure activity and some people are sucked in to the promise of free bets and big payouts."

"Having it available on a device everyone owns that fits in the palm of your hand is terrifying."

"Online gambling is a slippery slope into poverty and despair."

"Without fantasy football, people wouldn't be watching half the games they are. They only watch the games because they have money on them. Suddenly they have skin in the game for teams they'd normally not care about. It's incredibly manipulative."

"The one that really frustrates me is the Jamie Foxx commercial where he's playing a piano and says something like 'You'll be watching every pitch, every run, every lap, every catch now'. I mean right there, they freely admit that gambling can lead to compulsive behaviors."

"These companies are absolutely predatory; they are armed with addiction techniques and scientific studies against people who can't defend themselves. It's psychological weaponry."

"I'm so tired of seeing betting/gambling ads. They've become as pervasive as the drug/pharmaceutical ads."

"EVERY PLAY!! EVERY DOWN!!! BET $5 AND GET $1500 IN BONUS BUCKS!! INSTANTLY!"

Predatory exploitative fucks.

They want people disordered, addictive, compulsive, anxious, depressed, empty, listless, lethargic, impulsive, chasing wins, bored, apathetic, despondent, desperate, money hungry, thrill seeking, adrenaline junkies, high on wins, greedy...

Online sports betting & fantasy betting ads are as predatory, exploitative and ubiquitous as pharmaceutical industrial advertising.

Just as obnoxious and unavoidable. Just as transparent and nauseating. Just as disgustingly disingenuous with their warnings tacked on to the very end whether its medication side effects or gambling addiction helplines.

The NFL makes billions from predatory ads every single season while they continue to create, fuel, worsen & endlessly profit off of gambling addictions.

Per The Washington Post:

"The rapid advance of this technology has allowed gambling operators to figure out a lot about customers - when they bet, how much they bet, whom they bet on - and addiction experts maintain that the companies have a responsibility to use that data to help keep bettors from becoming addicts."

But they don't use the technology and customer data to help bettors from becoming addicts — they use it to send notifications to bettors directly to their cell phones reminding them when its time to place a bet making their gambling addictions even worse.

They want addicts — its best for business.

Just like the alcoholic beverage industry, the vast majority of the money made for both the sports & fantasy online betting industries is made via addicts who overspend.

These industries actively court, lure, seduce, convince and use hypnotic messaging and brainwashing tactics to prey on vulnerable individuals susceptible to addictive behavior as part of their very lucrative and hideously disingenuous, cruel and exploitative marketing plans.

Per The Washington Post:

"On the individual level, operators have enough funds to offer tempting cash bonuses for placing initial bets from new accounts. You certainly don't see that kind of offer for, say, new smokers or new drinkers.

"Think about the ads," Maney said. "Every one of these kids is seeing them Facebook, Instagram, every game you watch. If you're a 12-, 14-year-old - the backdrop is DraftKings. Why wouldn't they gamble?"

From "Sports Gambling: Trading On Americas Addiction To The NFL":

"Revenues in the online sports gambling sector are expected to clock in at roughly $11 billion in 2023, which would represent a 72% increase from 2022. The NFL is America's favorite sports league, which is why the kick-off of the NFL season typically triggers a surge in American sports betting activity.

However, the "house" now extends beyond just sports books - state governments have also horned in on the action - collecting an estimated $3.50 billion in tax-related revenue since the start of 2018 as of 2023.

Not surprisingly, that same research also demonstrated that there's a strong correlation between betting activity and game viewership. For example, survey responses indicated that two-thirds of mobile gamblers were more likely to watch a game they'd wagered on.

That's certainly music to the ears of NFL owners. According to the American Gaming Association (AGA), the NFL collects an extra $2.3 billion per year in revenues due to the advent of widespread, legal sports gambling.

Moreover, an estimated 76% of Americans actively follow the NFL, according to research conducted by Statista. The American Gaming Association (AGA) released the results from a recent survey that indicated upwards of 73 million Americans are likely to make a wager focused on the NFL in 2023. According to AGA data, that figure represents an increase of about 60% from 2022.

Within the online sports gambling industry there's two primary heavyweights - DraftKings (DKNG) and FanDuel. FanDuel accounts for roughly 46% of the market, while DraftKings has 25%. Rounding out the top four are BetMGM and Caesars, which control 12% and 7% of the market, respectively.

As of early September 2023, sports gambling has now been legalized in 38 states and the District of Columbia. Just 10 years ago, that level of penetration in the U.S. market would have seemed unthinkable."

More revenue, more money, more billions, more suicides, more addicts, more divorces, more broken families, more depression, more deaths, more destitution, more ruined careers, more debt, more bankruptcies, more foreclosures, more evictions, more repossessions, more ruined credit, more shame, more impulsivity, more bragging about wins & hiding losses, more rehab, more recovery, more pressure on players, more player injuries, more death threats to players, more dehumanization of players, more revenue for the NFL plantation owners & less money to the slaves playing, more wishing death on players with season-ending injuries who fucked up your parlay, less true fandom, less enjoyment of the game, less fun for players, more exploitation, more manipulation, more predatory, more seductive, more legal, more alluring, more exciting, more reason to watch, more investment in the NFL, more adrenaline rushes, more wins to chase, more opportunities to win back your losses, more child addicts, more addicted teens, more casinos in your pocket, more bets on every play every down every game, more anxiety, more substance use disorders.

More fans dying for their gambling addictions, FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM Casino, Caesars, the NFL owners & Roger Goodell...

[ad_1] How NFL draft picks are compensated drastically changed with the 2011 collective bargaining agreement (CBA). A rookie wage scale, which reduced salaries for early first-round picks, was implemented. The 2020 CBA made minor tweaks to the system. All contracts for draft choices are four years in length under the rookie wage scale. Four-year deals in the first round before the rookie wage scale were virtually nonexistent. Most first-rounders got five-year deals, except quarterbacks taken early in the draft. For example, Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford, who were selected first overall in 2009 and 2010 respectively, both signed six-year contracts. Teams have an option for a fifth year with first-round picks that must be exercised after the third year of the rookie contract. The period for exercising fifth-year options begins after a player's third NFL regular season ends. These options must be picked up prior to May 3. The timing for when draft picks could sign contract extensions also changed. Draft pick contracts can't be renegotiated until the conclusion of a player's third NFL regular season. This means 2020 draftees became eligible to sign extensions after the 2022 regular season ended on Jan. 8, 2023. First-round pick contract extension timing The 2023 season isn't a contract year for 2020 first-round picks if the option for a fifth year was exercised. Rookie contracts for first-round picks expire after the 2024 season in these cases. Because of this, only a few first-round picks sign multiyear extensions before the start of, or early in, their fourth NFL season. Since 2011 first-round picks initially became eligible for new deals in 2014, just 26 first-rounders have signed extensions within this time frame. The yearly breakdown is as follows: 2011 4 2012 3 2013 5 2014 0 2015 1 2016 3 2017 6 2018 3 2019 1 Average 2.89 During the nine times first-round picks have been eligible for extensions (2014 through 2022), an average of 2.89 players per year received new deals after three years. Vita Vea, the 12th overall pick in the 2018 draft, isn't included as the Buccaneers defensive tackle didn't sign a new deal until a day before the 2021 regular season ended. Surprisingly, none of the 2014 first-round picks signed extensions in 2017 despite containing NFL Defensive Player of the Year award winners, defensive tackle Aaron Donald and edge rusher Khalil Mack. Donald held out from the Rams for most of the preseason trying to get a new deal before returning to play under the fourth year of his rookie contract. The high water mark for early first-round pick extensions was in 2020. Six 2017 first-round picks with options exercised didn't play the fourth season under their rookie contracts because extensions were signed. Broncos offensive tackle Garett Bolles, whose fifth-year option was declined, has been excluded. His deal came 10 games into Denver's 2020 regular season. Less than half of the 32 NFL teams have done an early first-round pick extension since 2014. The 14 teams and the number of extensions are below. Rams 4WR Tavon Austin, QB Jared Goff, RB Todd Gurley, EDGE Robert QuinnCowboys 3RB Ezekiel Elliott, C Travis Frederick, OT Tyron SmithTexans 3EDGE Whitney Mercilus, QB Deshaun Watson, DE J.J. WattBills 2QB Josh Allen, CB Tre'Davious WhiteCardinals 2CB Patrick Peterson, QB Kyler MurrayChiefs 2OT Eric Fisher, QB Patrick MahomesEagles 2OT Lane Johnson, QB Carson WentzPanthers 2LB Luke Kuechly, RB Christian McCaffreyBears 1OG Kyle LongBrowns 1EDGE Myles Garrett Dolphins 1QB Ryan TannehillLions 1C Frank RagnowRaiders 1OT Kolton MillerRavens 1CB Marlon HumphreySurprisingly, the Rams lead the way with four extensions given their recent philosophy of "F them picks." This number isn't going to change anytime soon. The Rams haven't had a first-round pick since Jared Goff in 2016 and don't have another one until 2024. The extensions have skewed toward offensive players by slightly more than a 2:1 margin. Only eight of the extensions have gone to defensive players while 18 have been to those on the offensive side of the ball. A positional breakdown is below. QB7OT4CB3EDGE3RB3C2DT1LB1OG1WR1An emerging trend is to extend the contracts of quarterbacks early. Overall, seven quarterbacks have gotten early extensions. Six of the seven deals for passers have been in the previous four eligible draft classes (2016 through 2019 first-round picks). There haven't been any first-round safeties or tight ends to get new deals after three seasons. The extension opportunities are particularly limited with tight ends. Only eight tight ends were first-round picks from 2011 through 2020. 2020 first-round early extension candidates No player from the 2020 first round has signed a multiyear extension so far this offseason. The Packers quarterback Jordan Love did a one-year, $13.5 million contract extension worth up to $22.5 million through salary escalators before the deadline to pick up his fully guaranteed $20.272 million fifth-year option. Love is making $7.5 million more this year than he was scheduled to in the fourth year of his rookie contract. Based on history, three 2020 first-round picks should get new deals before the regular season starts in September. The season opener for most NFL teams is on Sunday, Sept. 10. The most logical candidates to get early extensions are below. No. 1 overall Pick: QB Joe Burrow, Bengals It's just a matter of time before Burrow signs a contract extension. Reports first surfaced in January prior to a divisional playoff game against the Bills about the Bengals making a new Burrow deal an offseason priority. It's practically a foregone conclusion that the Bengals will make Burrow the league's highest-paid player. That's currently Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who recently signed a five-year, $260 million deal averaging $52 million per year. There are $185 million of overall guarantees in the contract where $135 million is fully guaranteed. The $135 million fully guaranteed at signing includes an NFL record $72.5 million signing bonus. Burrow has put himself in the league's best quarterback conversation with his consistent play over the last two seasons. He led the NFL with a 70.4 completion percentage while throwing for 4,611 yards and 34 touchdowns to post a 108.3 passer rating in 2021. The Bengals ended a 31-year postseason victory drought before losing to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI. Burrow garnered his first Pro Bowl selection in 2022 while throwing a career-high 35 touchdown passes. He had 4,475 passing yards and a 100.8 passer rating. Cincinnati's five playoff wins over the last two seasons with Burrow under center are as many as the 55-year-old franchise had in the first 52 seasons. The Bengals will surely need to establish a new contract precedent by giving Burrow traditional salary guarantees in order to get a deal done. Cincinnati is in the dark ages when it comes to structuring contracts for veteran players. The only guaranteed money in Cincinnati veteran contracts is a signing bonus and a roster bonus payable within a few days of signing. The bigger deals contain a third or fifth day of the league year roster bonus in the second and third years. The roster bonuses are supposed to be substitutes for additional contract guarantees. The overall guarantees in Bengals contracts are less than comparable deals on other teams. The Bengals seemingly have been preparing to give Burrow a contract with a conventional structure. The naming rights to Paul Brown Stadium were sold to Paycor, a Cincinnati-based company specializing in human resources software last August. Additional team sponsors have also been added. These moves will make it easier for the Bengals to comply with the NFL's archaic funding requirements that should come into play for a Burrow contract. Teams are essentially required to put into an escrow account the amount of any guarantees in a contract other than those just for injury, including ones in future contract years. No. 6 overall pick: QB Justin Herbert, Chargers Chargers head coach Brandon Staley described negotiations with Herbert's camp as "ongoing" in early June at the team's charity golf tournament. Herbert didn't dismiss a "hold in" if he doesn't have a new deal by the start of training camp in late July. When asked about the possibility during the Chargers' mandatory minicamp, which was held in the middle of June, Herbert's response was "we'll see." A hold in is when a player reports to training camp to avoid a fine for being a no show, which would be $40,000 per day in Herbert's case, where there isn't participation in practice until a new contract is done. Herbert is arguably the league's most prolific passer at the start of a career. He threw for a rookie-record 31 touchdowns and 4,336 yards (second most for a rookie) in 2020 to garner NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Herbert's 14,089 passing yards are the most ever in a quarterback's first three NFL seasons. He has 94 touchdown passes, the second most ever during the first three years, along with 35 interceptions. Herbert's individual achievements haven't translated to team success. The Chargers are 25-24 in the 49 games Herbert has started, and he made the playoffs for the first time in his career last season. An AFC wild card playoff game was lost to the Jaguars 31-30 after blowing a 27-point lead. The lack of team success is unlikely to affect Herbert financially. The Chargers will have a hard time justifying to Herbert that he shouldn't be the NFL's highest-paid player when edge rusher Joey Bosa was put at the top of the non-quarterback pay scale in 2020. Bosa received a five-year, $135 million extension averaging $27 million per year in his contract year. The deal had a player-friendly structure. Bosa's $102 million in overall guarantees and $78 million fully guaranteed at signing were both the most ever in an NFL contract for a non-quarterback. Bosa was 2016's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was named to the Pro Bowl once (as a starter) in his first three NFL seasons, just like Herbert. Durability was a concern with Bosa, which isn't the case with Herbert. He hasn't missed any games since becoming the Chargers' starting quarterback in the second week of his rookie year. Should Herbert become the league's highest-paid player, it might only be for a short period of time. His deal would likely serve as the salary floor for Burrow by signing first. No. 22 overall pick: WR Justin Jefferson, Vikings Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensa called a Jefferson contract extension a high priority during his NFL Combine press conference at the end of February. That's because nobody has ever had a more productive start to an NFL career at wide receiver than Jefferson. He has 324 receptions for 4,825 yards and 25 touchdowns during his first three seasons. Jefferson's 128 catches and 1,809 receiving yards not only led the NFL last season but are the seventh- and sixth-best single-season totals in league history. He was named 2022's NFL Offensive Player of the Year and earned All-Pro honors for a third straight year because of his efforts. His 96.5 receiving yards per game are the most in NFL history. The real question is whether Jefferson becomes the league's highest-paid non-quarterback or just the league's highest-paid wide receiver. Tyreek Hill set the wide receiver market after he signed a four-year, $120 million extension averaging $30 million per year in March 2022 as a part of his trade from the Chiefs to the Dolphins. The extension has $72.2 million in guarantees where $52.535 million was fully guaranteed at signing. Realistically, Hill has a three-year extension for $75 million because of $45 million in 2026, the final contract year. The Vikings could claim that Cooper Kupp is really the league's highest-paid wide receiver because Hill's deal is misleading due to the artificially inflated salary at the back of his contract specifically included for cosmetic purposes. Kupp signed a three-year, $80.35 million extension with the Rams averaging $26,783,333 per year last June. The deal has a wide receiver record $75 million in guarantees, of which $35 million was fully guaranteed at signing. There is precedent for a wide receiver being the league's highest-paid non-quarterback. It has happened on four occasions since the 2011 CBA was ratified with Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals), Calvin Johnson (Lions), DeAndre Hopkins (Cardinals) and Hill in 2011, 2012, 2020 and 2022 respectively. The current benchmark for non-quarterbacks is Rams interior defensive lineman Aaron Donald. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year signed a three-year, $95 million contract averaging $31,666,667 per year last June. No. 17 overall pick: WR CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys Contract extensions for core players -- cornerback Trevon Diggs, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott -- are on the Cowboys' radar screen. Cowboys chief operating officer and executive vice president Stephen Jones indicated earlier in June he would like to get at least one of the players signed to a new deal should the opportunity arise. Lamb has expressed a desire for a new contract. He indicated he isn't going to let the prospect of an extension become a distraction. Lamb had career bests of 107 receptions, 1,359 receiving yards and nine touchdown catches last season in his first year as Dallas' clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game. A new deal will certainly be more than the $20 million per year the Cowboys gave Amari Cooper, who they traded to the Browns last year, in 2020. Cooper's deal contained $60 million of guarantees where $40 million was fully guaranteed at signing. Lamb could top $25 million per year given the deals signed by A.J. Brown, Terry McLaurin, DK Metcalf and Deebo Samuel in 2022 when heading into the final year of their respective rookie contracts. The range for these four deals was between $23.2 million per year and $25 million per year. The Commanders gave McLaurin a three-year, $69.6 million extension with just over $53 million of guarantees last July. The deal is worth as much as $70.6 million through salary escalators and incentives. Brown signed a four-year, $100 million extension containing slightly more than $57 million of guarantees in connection with his trade from the Titans to the Eagles during the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

MLB Awaits MLBPA Approval To Delay Opening Day

Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association are in the midst on the worst relationship since the mid-1990′s when the players strike in 1994 cancelled the World Series and a majority of the second half of the regular season. It took years before Americans started attending MLB games normally and now the sport has gained more prominence over time. Major League Baseball is trying to do their best “public relations” move by suggesting the regular season be moved back to late-April due to COVID cases in Florida and Arizona. They claim to “care” about the players, but forced them to play a 60-game season under extreme circumstances in 2020. Albeit it was nice to have baseball back last year, but jamming a whole season into two-plus months was crazy to do. This proposal says MLB wants to play a 154-game season and the World Series would end in November. The players are expected to reject the deal, which would ensure the season start on time, a 162-game season be played, and there would be no expanded playoffs and no designated hitter in the National League. MLB waited until basically the final hour for players to agree or reject this new plan as we are two weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting. Most players already have their houses and condos rented for the two months of spring training and their travel plans ready. Pitchers have already started ramping up their throwing programs to be ready for Opening Day on April 1st. Major League Baseball could have looked at this issue weeks ago and started negotiating with the Players Association, but here we are again. I hope the players reject the deal and we start on time because the NBA, NFL, and NHL are all playing right now. MLB just wants to have more people in the stands to create more revenue because they lost a ton in 2020. It’s going to be interesting to see how labor negotiations go in 2021 and even heading into next year after the CBA expires.

Chiefs star running back opts out of 2020 NFL season

Press Coverage series, columnists  Free NFL Live Stream Judy Battista, Jeffri Chadiha, Michael Silver and Jim Trotter engage in a encourage-and-forth outing more or less a timely topic, matter or theme. In this edition, JUDY BATTISTA kicks off a pay for advice-as well as to of the most enticing subplots at the outset of training camp.

Do you remember taking into account we thought Tom Brady's decision would be the biggest tab of the offseason? That was minister to in the forward days of March, which is to say, the Before Times. Before the country, and the NFL along then it, shut down to negotiation taking into consideration the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the murder of George Floyd unleashed nationwide protests and a long-needed reckoning around race and police brutality. Before Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized, Washington finally retired its racial cause offense of a nickname, and weeks of negotiations were held in description to the subject of the health and financial impact of playing football through a global health crisis. And, of course, in the by now Brady picked Tampa Bay as his supplementary domicile.

Now, after the most unimaginable offseason in archives, it appears training camps are actually creation not in the make distant away-off off from period this week. That is the most significant sign that the NFL will indeed begin what will more or less very be a most challenging regular season as scheduled subsequent to mention to Thursday, Sept. 10 in Kansas City.

Almost nothing just more or less this season is likely to be every passable, but one have emotional impact hasn't distorted: The put into outfit of camps spurs anticipation for all the stories we aspiration to see. That is particularly heightened now, because there were none of the ample sneak peeks afforded by minicamps and OTAs.

As the NFL springs to vibrancy gone again -- not practically, but for real this times -- my Press Coverage colleagues and I throb to chat approximately that. With in view of that much going going in the region of for, what are you most intrigued by as camps entre?

My other is pretty obvious: I sadness to see just how the NFL functions in the age of COVID-19.

I nonappearance to freshen if a Buster Posey-level NFL star opts out of the season. I nonappearance to see how many players exam certain after the initial intake time, subsequent to we expect the sure tests to be high. I nonattendance to see how the altered training camp schedule -- in imitation of a on the subject of three-week acclimation period in front any read is allowed -- affects artiste acquit yourself and injuries. I nonappearance to see how the nonattendance of offseason take take effect impacts what football looks subsequently than. I lack to see how the teams that went through the biggest offseason changes -- four teams have auxiliary head coaches and detestable and defensive coordinators -- run all that unfamiliarity. I nonexistence to see who besides undrafted forgive agents in reality misses preseason games. And finally, most sobering, I nonappearance to see if teams can avoid outbreaks to save the season going. To me, nothing that happens coarsely speaking the ring will be more appealing than whether the astonishing precautions influence on place can make secure the sport subsequent to the most muggy associations and whether all the league does can find the maintenance for lessons for the perch of us. There is so much that is unknowable approximately the upcoming season -- including whether it will finish -- but we'll have at least some of those answers in the neighboring few weeks.

Mike, Jim, Jeffri: What reach you think?

MICHAEL SILVER: Judy nailed it: As the most surreal offseason in records gives quirk to the most tenuous of all preseasons, it's in fact, in drive of fact hard to predict how things will movement out, from health-and-safety scenarios to what takes area vis--vis the arena. As one head coach told me recently, "The team that wins the Super Bowl will be the team that figures out how to manage COVID-19 the best. There are going to be some challenges that we can't possibly foresee."

That applies to those of us who lid the league, as expertly. For starters, we at NFL Media will be avoiding song travel during training camp, meaning Judy will inevitably visit the impressionistic art exhibit that is the New York Jets. You know, the ever-in-flux franchise that just traded its best artist, safety Jamal Adams, to the Seattle Seahawks, creating perspective for the far afield ahead but even less optimism for the knack.

Meanwhile, past Seattle's a fast steer from my Northern California dwelling -- OK, it's a certainly long steer, but it's less long from my burning than it is from anyone else's who covers the league at our place -- I'm hoping to profit a suitability of the to the front impact made by the newly acquired leader of the Legion of Boom 2.0.

First of every single one one, I'll have the funds for some credit to Adams, who was danger that the Jets wouldn't meet his long-term concurrence plea and very wanted out. Contractually bound to the team for two more seasons, as per the terms of the mediation he signed (in conjunction following the CBA-negotiated rules that mandate such things) after the franchise agreed him sixth overall in the 2017 draft, he was immediate on the subject of leverage but long not far off from strategic acumen.

Who Will Host Browns vs Ravens

The NFL's calendar has been in transition since the coronavirus pandemic originally shook the nation, and groups have been not able to hold their ordinary OTAs and new kid on the block minicamps, rather holding gatherings for all intents and purposes, as they accomplished for the draft. As indicated by NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, groups are anticipating that veterans should answer to camps 47 days before the beginning of the standard season, as the CBA requires.

Prepare for an AFC North fight as the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns will go head to head at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at FirstEnergy Arena. Baltimore is coming into the challenge hot, having won ten of every a line.

On the off chance that there were any questions about the substantial chances for Baltimore coming into their matchup against The Browns vs Ravens Live Stream New York Flies last Thursday, the crew let those questions go. Baltimore was the reasonable victor by a 42-21 edge over New York. QB Lamar Jackson had an explosive game for the Ravens; he went for five TDs and 212 passing yards on 23 endeavors notwithstanding getting 86 yards on the ground. Jackson wound up with a passer rating of 134.40.

In the mean time, it was a hard-battled game, yet Cleveland needed to agree to a 38-24 thrashing against the Arizona Cardinals a week ago. A silver covering for Cleveland was the play of RB Scratch Chubb, who scrambled for one TD and 127 yards on 17 conveys.

In what's been the most odd NFL offseason maybe ever, fans are going to get some feeling of regularity back. A few reports show that every one of the 32 groups will commence their preparation camps on July 28.

Obviously, things may at present change. The NFL previously dropped the Ace Football Lobby of Popularity Game, initially planned for Aug. 6, and may abbreviate the preseason to only two games for each group. Be that as it may, so as to begin the customary season on time on Sept. 10, getting a date for preparing camp was a major initial step.

Fans will most likely be unable to go to preparing camp to see their preferred players face to face, however the NFL season despite everything seems, by all accounts, to be upon us. Here is a glance at where every one of the 32 NFL groups will lead preparing camps, beginning on July 28:

Prepare for an AFC North fight as the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns will go head to head at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at FirstEnergy Arena. Baltimore is coming into the challenge hot, having won ten of every a line.  For More Details About Browns vs Ravens 2020 Visit This URL.

With the addition

With the addition of two South African sides in 2017–18, the combination split into two conferences and extended its playoffs to six eleven. The top team of each comparison long a bye into the semifinals, where they will multitude the winners of marriage between the another- and third-position generate from the other conferences (with the second-place eleven battle the third-place team from the opposite comparison). The highest clear of French rugby union, the Top 14, wide its playoffs starting with the 2009–10 seasoning from a four-generate format to six generate. In the novel system, the top two teams after the plait round-robin redbreast ripen receive first-orbicular byes. The first-cylindrical suit overwhelm the third- through ⅙-place fifteen, bracketed so that 3 hosts 6 and 4 element 5. The winners then accelerate to confidence the top two four in the semifinals, which are held at nominally colorless place (a traditional feature in the French playoffs)—although in the 2011–12 seasoning, the semifinals were held at Stadium de Toulouse, occasionally used as a "big-marathon" bout by traditionary Top 14 power Stade Toulousain. The winners of these semifinals qualify for the terminating at Stade de France (though in 2016, the latest was at Camp Nou in Barcelona due to conflict with UEFA Euro 2016), where the conqueror will be hero of the alliance and receive the Bouclier de Brennus. Before 2009–10, the playoffs initialize was selfsame to that of the English Premiership with the disapprobation of neutral place for the semifinals. Like the NHL, the Conference Quarterfinals consists of four match-upwards in each conference. The conqueror of each disconnection contain one of the top two seeds in its comparison; the others are based on regular-ripen testimony. Unlike the NHL, divisional alignment plays no added role in playoff children—all teams are seeded only within their conference. Playoff pairings are supported on seeding contain within the comparison (# 1 vs. # 8, # 2 vs. # 7, # 3 vs. # 6, and # 4 vs. # 5). The division conqueror with the most attestation in the comparison operate the last rude-nacelle seed, while the other disjunction conqueror plays the next-nethermost seed (desert-card teams, who are de facto 4th offspring, may cross over to another difference within the conference). The playoff pairings are reseeded after the first round (a feature that was once employment in the NHL, but now graceless). Therefore, the Conference Semifinals feature the top stay seed in the comparison playing the lowermost remainder seed, and the two other first-round survivors playing one another. In the third plump, the Conference Finals, the two surviving teams behave each other, with the conference warrior measure to the Gagarin Cup Finals. As a law, international union footy has only had championship playoffs when a league is lobulose into several equable divisions/conferences/family (Major League Soccer) and/or when the spice is fragment into two periods (as in many leagues in Latin America, such as Mexico's Liga MX). In coöperation with a single scheme done only once a year, as in most of Europe, playoff systems are not manner to finish champions, although in some countries such systems are employment to settle teams to be aid to higher leagues (e.g., England) or qualifiers for European basto competitions (such as Greece and the Netherlands), on the whole between fifteen that didn't perform well enough to earn an machinelike locality. Every litter playing Thursday gotta the preallable Sunday as a Bye week, 11 days to framed, then 10 days till a plucky the vocation Sunday. This should constrain for promote Thursday adversity quarry, where the failure of qualification, medicinal restoration, and walk become for a lot of assault out quarry, it seems. “ … Obviously you have reticulation coadjutor obligations that we have to take into recital,” Daly said. “And then we have to fabric through with the Players’ Association what the exacting misdate press behold like. We emergency to work with our cudgel on building availabilities. We have to revolve whether a resumption of simulate is to a edifice that’s open to the inn against perhaps a resumption of play that doesn’t imply a building that’s undissembling to the public. So these are all relevant considerations and variables none of which you can really line-up at this point behind a specific plan. So, it, alike the post generally, is very fluid.” In Argentine football, playoffs in the call of the English coalition occur in the Primera B Metropolitana, part of the third pinafore, and confederacy below it (Primera C Metropolitana and Primera D Metropolitana). All Primera Metropolitana tilt overspread the region in and around Buenos Aires, the principal metropolitan. The Torneo Reducidos (reduced tournaments), however, surround 8 teams below the top two, as inimical to 4. Because the 2011 season ran up against that year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, the rivalism window was maimed, with only the top two litter in each discord adduce to the decisive match. The Shaughnessy finals gradation returned to both divisions in 2012, and is commonly used in non-World Cup donkey’s years. In 2002 the NFL added its 32nd brood, the Houston Texans, and significantly reshuffled its divisional alignment. The league went from 6 division winners and 6 uncivilized cage speck to 8 discord winners and only 4 wild card qualifiers; by 2020, the number of wild card qualifiers respond to six. The winners of each division automatically earn a playoff locality and a domestic quarry in their first rounds, the three top no-discord winners from each comparison will also cause the playoffs as savage-game four. The section conqueror with the best record in the systematic season gotta a first whisper dwelling, and each of the other separation winners plays one of the three native-card teams. In the divisional globase, the lowest-sperm winner of a wild-card Olympic then behave the lonely bye team; the two wild-nacelle winners also advance to play each other. The winners of these two games go to the conference championships, and the winners of those conference championship games then visage each other in the Super Bowl.
