Less than 1% of all college football players will play in the NFL. The average NFL career is less than 3 years. The average NFL salary is around $750K. It's not as lucrative a prospect as you think it is. And this is just football. The same is true for all the other sports, and even more poignant for the sports…

But the percentage of players who go on to make millions in the NFL is probably LESS than the percentage of other students who go on to make millions on their own with their degrees.

I think that's kind of a chicken or an egg question though. Sherman is a smart guy with strong, well thought out opinions, so he's more likely to get asked a broader range of questions because the reporters know that he'll give them a good quote to write about, so then they ask him more questions...

My god, it's like someone asked him a question about it directly and he would be fined if he didn't show up to be asked to provide comments!

Really? I have social anxiety. The thought of getting in front of a massive room full of jackasses asking stupid questions - or even just talking to a room full of people, period - makes my heart race. Hell, even if they were all great questions and super interesting people I had every reason to trust...that's a lot…

from a social anxiety point of view, no they are the exact same. Doing something fun that you are really excited about brings about the same level and intensity of anxiousness as something that is no fun and/or that you are dreading.

As a musician, I can't stand DJs.

They claim to be "Live DJs". What they really do is play recordings of things that happened in the past for you.

Better yet! Stay away from "clubs." They are massive wastes of time, energy, and money.

Trying to hit on girls is dumb. You want to hit on girls at the club? Go to Jersey Shore. A girl worth a damn isn't going to be found at the clubs.

Clubs are full of vermin.

When this first became a "thing," Lynch was getting fined, he was paying his fines and everything was cool. The system was working.

We put a man on the moon, and Marshawn Lynch refuses to talk to the media. He mocks the achievements of all crew-cut, short-sleeved, glasses-wearing NASA employees with his refusal to talk.

What the media needs to realize is that they are becoming an unnecessary conduit for players to fans now that all players can sidestep the middle man by using social media. Guys like Brian Murphy should be selling insurance for basement mold.

I love how some members of the media have this so ass-backwards. Hey dumbass, without NFL players, your ass would be stuck blogging about celebrities with zero followers and raging on forums in your mom's basement all day and night.

Correction: Chris Kyle gave his life at a shooting range. But, you know, don't let that stop your Twitter rage.

This whole thing just exposes the sports media as self-important brats who secretly loathe the athletes they're supposed to cover.

and you're a petulant child who gets paid $37,000 a year to do something other than complain about marshawn lynch, yet here you are.

Does anyone remember the deal with the Elway-era Broncos offensive line, which spent years not talking to reporters (IIRC, they even refused to tape their parts in the starting-lineup thing NBC does for Sunday Night Football) and no one cared ever?

Pennsyltucky!

Too bad we can't do the same with the Floyd Mayweather-themed erotica I saw yesterday.
