Dallas Cowboys' cap issues; Jon Gruden loses lawsuit (Full PFT PM) | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC 

I don't like a lot of the stories he puts out but he's honest and he always gets to the bottom of whatever the hell is going on with the NFL

I had to take a few months off from listening to him but am now catching up on his PFT PM's. Florio detox.

Nah he’s a weasel.

He's good when he is not spouting leftist b.s

He lost ALL credibility when he exposed his fear of pushback by removing the comment section on his website. Fear of pushback is weak and pathetic. He can't take others correctly pointing out when he is incorrect in his information. Especially when it pertain to the pLandemic and vaksheenz.

Agreed, they are unashamedly corrupt and contemptuous of the audience. I still watch for the sport - the contest, it is entertaining but the Corporation named NFL and its execs have no ethics or morality. Greed is their god and sport is not relevant to them.

He's too young and too smart.

So random 🤣🤣

I was not expecting that.

@@dante6563sames. Would’ve actually bet money against that possibility.

He's one of the whales that EA likes

There were stories saying it was likely, but I doubt it was ever going to happen. The players don’t tend to change their leadership unless they have to, as it is when it comes to most elections. Not even political. I work in a union shop, my union steward finally got pushed out because he moved to another area of the shop with new people and we finally got a new steward because he moved to a different area of the shop, otherwise no one in my area would have run against him just like the previous two elections. People would still complain about him, myself included, but none of us wanted the job either. The new steward didn’t even want the job, had to get talked into running and did so last minute 🤷🏻‍♀️ Basically, imo, the majority just tend to be lazy and choose to keep what they’ve got because it really doesn’t impact them much.

@@warpeace8891"'Old' MikeFlorio had a barn, E-I-E-I-O!" 🥃🐄🐖🦝 🐑

a greed I am happy to see teams sabotage themselves. I would like to see the minimum cap be lowered so that teams have the potential to pay players, eg - half the cap and still win. $50 million vs 2 million is a minimal gap in standard of play on the field. The coach has by far the most impact on games and gets 10% or less of some players.

It's almost as bad as when rookies were getting $60 million contracts before playing a down in the NFL. But how does the NFL fix this current issue? The players union won't give an inch.

@@andrew348 just set a % cap for any one player don't target any group but we all know it's the qbs

@@chrisculhane3777 - I don't like the idea of restricting an individuals income - No player would accept that idea and neither would the courts. If you give MORE choice by lowering the minimum TEAM cap to eg. 50%, Then sometimes a team will do very well spending half the money. There will be an incentive to spend more and an incentive to spend less, depending on circumstances. Maybe Jacksonville can can make a deep run in the playoffs spending $135 Million while the Giants and the Jets are last in their division spending $270 million. Individual player minimums remain. We would not see guys who couldn't even go deep in the ocean like Dak Presscot making more than Mahomes. Dak is asking for $55+ million. Tom Brady proved you don't need to be chiseled or elite athlete or run over people or cannon arm or the highest paid or even the smartest. You need to get the job done when it matters most any way you can. Even with deflated balls. Over a period of time, teams will adjust and fluctuate their spending more in line with demand and supply. As it should be. Now the market is grossly distorted because all teams must pay a minimum 89% of the salary cap... Even Carolina!!!

Courts are unelected either. So you're wrong.

Florio likes to portray it as if Democrat appointed judges are for personal freedom. When its really Democrat appointed judges are for government interests. If say, someone happens to defend themselves with a gun or doesn't want to get an experimental vaccine then personal freedoms go out the window. And there's no greater case of big guy versus little guy than government agencies vs. the individual.

They are shit and we love it. Keep up the good work.

That is mostly right. The media are the real fanatics. Driving the haters and hyping everything. Look what they do to Rodgers every year. It is embarrassing but they won't ever stop while the money rolls in.

Right??!!

@@ArtimusPrime2025 Mike is asking to be fired? You don't understand that? I appreciate that some people, like Florio, are passionate and advocate/fight to be on the right side of history, and that he, like many people, SELFLESSLY heed a calling to speak truth to power. Mike's brand of Town Hall bravery has been replaced with a "me first!" mentality, and decent models of manhood have been replaced with faux, toxic facades of masculinity. Asking tough questions/asking for fairness should not be grounds for being fired. If you're working right now and are part of a union (maybe you aren't, that's fine), or if you get old or to a point that you can't advocate for yourself anymore, or if you vote, you should hope those in charge of you aren't too scared or indifferent to ask the tough questions or else you'll just be helpless and languishing, hopefully content with the realization that whomever didn't speak up for you/abandoned you, was only doing what you would have done for your own good if the roles were reversed (extrapolating from what you wrote). Better yet, and lastly, imagine someone you cared about encountered a major problem while in a foreign country, or in a hospital, in jail, or some other place where they felt vulnerable. Would you want Jim Trotter to write about how your loved one's case is being unjustly handled, or should Jim Trotter do what he should have done to not get fired from the NFL, which was to sit down, shut up and write about how turf fields are almost universally loved by all players because turf is unquestionably superior to grass? It's too easy to sit back, shut up and collect a check. The people who have a calling to make the world a better place, no matter how incrementally, willfully and altruistically lack the impulse control to keep quiet in the face of injustice. That's my annoying two cents, anyway lol.

@@winebuyah hahaha right??!! 😁

He is under contract - there is no "sitting out" option available to Dak. I have no issues saying goodbye to any player that demands more than I want to pay. Dak at $50 million plus is embarrassing. I would say 20- 25 million is about right, otherwise cya.

@@warpeace8891 The biggest problem with the fanbase is that there are fans that actually think Dak is the guy and that he should be paid like Mahomes. The Cowboys know he's not the guy. His teammates know it. A large section of the fanbase know it too. The only holdouts are the media and his fanboys. smh

@@PGO_Gaming - Fair points. Thanks for your insights. What do you think about the coach? I gave McCarthy plenty of stick in his first two years at Dallas but Last year he was much improved. Still has major weakness like the clock mismanagement and play calling doesn't fit the situation on many occasions on offense. I have to give him credit for making this team look like they are on the same page in all facets. He seems to have his coaching staff improving and his communication with the public and even play designs are a little better. Not sure exactly who is doing what behind the scenes but the head coach has the hardest job in football. They rarely get the credit and always get the blame while being paid below the player average in many cases. To me the coach has by far the biggest influence on games and McCarthy is trending in the right direction.

Video is only 480p....needs to upgrade the cam.

I'm thinking odds are Florio only cares about precedent when it benefits his personal political opinions or something that would be financially worth it to him with PFT.

I think it's them being realistic in not bringing the same group back that couldn't get the job done.

The primary takeaway from this episode is that the law doesn't matter. The constitution doesn't matter. All that matters is the personal opinions of the jury members or judges. If that's the case then there's no point in any of us listening to a lawyer like Florio go on for hours about cases because none of that actually matters according to him.

You better chill on that "we" nonsense. I'd rather have a shot than repeated 5-6 win seasons with someone like Trey Lance who cannot play

Who are we, I want the MVP runner-up extended, no way Jerry let's The MVP walk

@andredamato - I agree totally. Dak is good at some things... courageous, tough, good game management and scrimmage control. he has some major weaknesses... slow release and slow movement, unable to adjust after snap, below average accuracy and timing. Mentally fragile at times. No team needs a $50 million QB. Dak would get 25 tops from me. Ceedee is the shining light on offense and the standout best player on the roster. Parsons is very good but not worth top dollar. I would be happy to play Cooper Rush. He is proof you can win most games with an 'average at best' QB..... hmmm so is Dak!

@warpeace8891 If Ceedee is the Best player on the team , who gets the Ball to him 😆 ,Dak made lamb, I like Cooper super duper rush, but Jerry leased him twice ,31 other teams said thanks but no thanks, one more thing on lamb ,stop checking out in the post-season he let Alexander bully him ,Be like T-O show up in the Big games

@@JFKMLK - Any starting QB can get Ceedee the ball. If Ceedee Lamb has Tua throwing to him or Burrow or Rodgers he would be the clear No. 1 in the league. I actually watch the games and not just highlights. Look at how many times Dak cannot throw to where the play is designed to go. receivers are mostly reaching back or down. He is one of the least accurate starters. Play design improved dramatically last year and was simplified for Dak. Watch what happens when he goes to another team, he will look lost just like he does in the playoffs.

Teams are worth so much more (including inflation adjustments) that the dynamic is not the same anymore. Someone worth 100 million dollars asking for 100 million to build a stadium is different than someone worth 10 billion asking for 2 billion to build a new stadium. It just is. The dollar amounts are so much higher and the income of the owners is so much more as well.

Democrats can look in the mirror for the current makeup of the Supreme Court which came in large part due to arrogance and an assumption that their party would forever hold the Presidency and the Senate. Decisions like Harry Reid invoking the nuclear option, Ginsburg refusing to retire for six years of Obama's presidency and making the extremely unlikable Hillary Clinton the 2016 nominee led to this. A Republican Senate refusing to vote on Garland is political for sure, but not corrupt. The Republicans held the Senate at the time. Obama was a lame duck President. Even if they went forward with it, he wasn't getting a majority of the votes. So they didn't bother wasting time on it.

Yep!

Chickens lay eggs ppl lie down

because they suck

Jets suck

@@rexwendland450 so does your mom

How sad you must be, you can't afford food gas have a good time on July 4th eating bread and water😅

​@@Nillywilly08 I agree most of the political comments are just lazy guys who are mad and broke. Maybe he will get a job and stop mooching off his family.

By Florio's logic, the high levels of inflation, housing being unaffordable, the student debt crisis, violent crimes being committed against people, etc... Democrats have nothing to complain about. They voted for those policies. I doubt he's going to say that part out loud though.

@@quiddity131 It is all Rodgers fault says Florio.

@@funkdunken8738 😆

frightening... pathetic as well ..

@@MrThekingruler 😄

Florio brings up his personal political opinions all the time, this shouldn't be a surprise.

@@quiddity131 just because you don't hear the political talk in other commentary doesn't mean there's nothing political going on. I'd rather have a fuller understanding of the news rather than information so curated (at best) that it's biased and purposefully incomplete. When you are in the mood for news or political chat, what outlets and websites do you frequent? Any you particularly recommend I visit, or to steer clear from?

@@quiddity131 I feel like Florio states his political observations more than he does his political opinions, but I hear what you're saying 🫡
