There are sooooo much waste space of comments and questions in sports media I am just waiting for someone to be brutally honest on draft night:

  • some coach that just straight up says "nah this kid ain't ready to be drafted"

  • a dad that says he is not proud of his son

I think it can vary. A lot of players after performing well on rookie deals will go basically wherever they can get the most money. Then after making that, once they’re getting older, may be willing to take a cheaper deal with a contender to try and add a Super Bowl ring to their career.

I'm sure there are players that care more about the community they live in than winning games as well. I know they don't technically have to live full time in or around their team's city, but playing for a team has to be a much more attractive prospect if you also enjoy living in the area.

He's been the English spoken iconic commentator associated with British football scene as well as the world cup over an illustrious 50 year career. Really depends on when you actually started watching it but for many people in Europe especially the UK this is quite a sad day for football as he's Murray walker of football. Slice any major football match up over the last 40 years . He's probably commented on it and has been factual and clinical in his research and details into the match players and teams.

Might be worth researching him to understand more
