I wonder what took him so long?
All sports and sports media have a WWE element to them and the sooner you figure that out, the less surprise you will be by what happens.
The more I sit back and observe everything that has to do with the NFL the more I realize it’s just an entertainment business.

I was so caught up in trying to make football at this level purely football. But when I look around me, it’s nothing, NOTHING but a business

Understandably so. But I want to inform you, the fans. Don’t be sucked in to ESPN, NFL Network and all these money making media outlets.

Their singular purpose is to entertain you. Make you think something is important when it really isn’t. It’s not for news, it’s for ratings.

They want you to be sucked into their opinions. Why? That pushes their brand and eventually makes them money at some level.

I’m asking you, the fans, to be informed. Do your own thinking. They will say a guy is too short to play QB… he’ll win a SuperBowl.

Because at the end of the day, the players are all expendable. The only thing that matters to the NFL is the brand of NFL.

The funny thing to me is Baldwin really had an epiphany about this. Better late than never.
