I thought this Deadspin article was on-point.

http://deadspin.com/could-football-just ... 1699284301

The coverage that the "ZOMG RELEASE OF THE 2015 SCHEDULE" is getting is absurd. And pushing the draft back further and further has resulted in full-blown draft fatigue. I enjoy watching football, but I'm tired of hearing about it.
When the schedules were released, an hour later espn had an article for each team with an indepth discussion of what score each of the regular season games would be. Who cares? It is April.

When the schedule is released, I spend two minutes looking at the Broncos schedule, two minutes looking at the list of primetime games and then I forget both until September

Spending more than few minutes discusing the schedule is pointless at this point in the off-season when the draft hasn't even taken place yet.

Didn't they just sign him to a big $ deal?
No, incentive based on games played. This frees up 6 million if it stands.

But what stands out the most is that Winston’s supposed arrangement doesn’t make sense if you’ve shopped at Publix. I grew up in Florida, and I love shopping there. Everyone knows you pick up your order at the seafood counter, they slap on a price tag, and you pay at the cashier. Perhaps a cashier could give you an illegal freebie—but a seafood counterperson? And the “any time you come in here I got you” boast sounds like the kind of cross-departmental power only a manager would have ... but the Publix brass in this situation told investigators they wanted to pursue the case. And even if Winston thought he had a freebie, didn’t he notice the huge price tag on his package?

I can't believe the crawl on ESPN is displaying quotes about crab legs.

Nevermind, I can.

I don't think they'd put a franchise there, just use it as a venue to host a weekly game. Which would be dumb, because all those games are dumb.

It will cost them about $10 million a year, which is nothing for an entity of their size.

why are they abandoning it? so that they don't have to disclose some info like the Goodell's salary?

Goodell earned over $140 million in the last six years, which is far more than any player.

He was probably flustered that someone let him go on live television looking like that

Browns have apparently offered both of their first round picks to Tennessee for #2.
