The Easton Stick Mega Thread

It is shocking that some of these guys that skip their bowl games are still allowed to be part of the “team” and wander the sidelines acting important while their team is playing in said bowl game. If you want to skip the game I understand why, go ahead and be done. But that should mean no more team privileges like weight room, free school gear, playbooks, film room, ect., and you certainly don’t get to stand on the sideline while your ex teammates are busting their tail on the field.

I agree. If you want to be on the team, good. If you don't want to, then get the fuck out. Turn in your gear, and have a nice life.

Im on the fence with that one.

On one hand you have a guy sitting out essentially a pointless game that could cost him millions if he shreds a knee. Unlike his school, conference and the ncaa.. he and his teammates don't see a cent from playing in said bowl game.


On the other hand you have abandoning teammates. Christian McCaffrey who started all of this seems to be doing just fine and accepted by his nfl teammates.


I suppose if I was a sought after surefire high first round pick... i'm sitting if our team isn't in the playoffs. Money talks or something like that

Missing one extra game isnt the end of the world. Life will go on for those abandoned teammates

Said school likely gave him a scholarship, so he did get something out of the deal. Just saying...

Marginal utility is a bitch.

Ahhhh......the great paradox of today's elite athletes.

I never understood the meaningless bowl game argument.

If the bowl game is meaningless than every regular season game you play after your team is eliminated from playing in the playoffs is meaningless as well.

Ask jaylon Smith about playing in bowl games. Cost himself millions already, almost cost him his career.

He seems to be doing just fine. You can get injured in training too. Just ask Sidney Jones.

Remember Robert Edwards and the infamous beach football injury? It can happen anywhere.

If you had a lottery ticket, would you cash it right away and quit your job, or wait around a few weeks and help out your current employees by finishing out your job?

Sorry but I would never question someone’s decision when you have life altering money on the line.
