    Who knew the difference between the P12 and the NFL was 10 pounds. That's nuts.

    I hope mariota knows eating healthy is good for him. can never be too sure with these stupid NFL players. I find myself (an armchair nutritionist) very disappointed that he isn't smarter about his health.

    Oddly enough there is a reason behind having to stay in college for 3 years before you can go pro...

    Has he suggested he eats unhealthy? Highly doubtful.

    F***ing off-season. Non-story, non-issue.

    How would that no longer be a farm system if they came out of college (or bypassed it altogether) earlier?

    I'll add that I'm pro NFL farm system. I liked the World League back in the 90's, the XFL, and even NFL Europe the couple years it lasted, and still enjoy the AFL. I've even watched live indoor football where Jard Lorenzen plays. They just need televised and play during the offseason of the NFL.

    Actually a good point, I'm amazed at how many pro athletes eat absolutely terribly.

    My guys who played for the Lions for 4 years(5 in 1 house) all pitched in and had their own Chef prepare all of their meals for them. It was relatively inexpensive and he could tailor their diets for the grueling season/offseason.

    I think it's pretty apparent the NFL and the NCAA have an unspoken agreement about the three-year rule. The NFL institutes it so the NCAA can have guys longer to help their game while the NFL gets a free farm system. Everyone wins.

    I like the way college baseball does things. Go to the majors right out of high school or go to college, but if you go to college you are committed to it until you either complete your junior year or turn 21, whichever comes first.
