OverDrive · Schlereth on Patrick Mahomes being cleared to practice, expectations for Aaron Rodgers, and if the Rams are the best team in the NFL · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

You got to understand how the NFL works.

It's not like baseball.

It's not like basketball.

80% of the guys, you know, 80% of the guys make 20% of the money.

So when they get locked out of these facilities.

and finances start to get tight and they need to go to camp to get paid, they're all gonna ratify whatever's on the table.

So we just keep accepting deals like no lifetime insurance, none of the things that are really important.

We just take less practice time.

And players don't even realize that taking less practice time actually shortens your career.

They think it's going to lengthen your career because you're not going to take as many hits in practice.

But the bottom line is you're not going to be as skilled or good a football player.

So ultimately...

You kind of squeeze out some of the middlemen, some of the guys that, you know, that are important to this league and they get longevity.

You're not increasing your ability as a football player.

So what ends up happening is ownership, you know, has the halves that make the majority of all the money.

And then they fill the rest of the roster with a bunch of guys that that, you know, you just pray don't have to get in the game because most of those kids, you know, they last two

two or three years in the league, and they're not worth a squirt of piss.

And so, I mean, that's just the way the league operates.

So, like, they're going to make a lot of noise, and they're going to complain, and in the next collective bargaining agreement, they're going to be shouting about grass fields, and then they won't get it, and they'll get locked out, and they'll accept whatever it is they accept.

But it won't change anything.
