they only get paid for the season thats less than 90k. They also have no health insurance. So if they get injured they are in a serious finanacial hole. Because if they cant play they dont get paid.

That's because mosty have figured out, like me, that instead of spending most your day trying to get into the stadium, watching the game with a bunch of drunks, and trying to get out and dropping a few hundred bucks on tickets,parking, and food, you can watch it for FREE at home. And generally get to see the game better. And still have time and money left over to do other things on your weekends.

Thats because the majority of the team are practice squad players" and no one wants to pay NFL prices to watch crap players. And cheap Huzienga has the team 55 MILLION BELOW the cap. All he cares about is making money while he desroyed the team. The fans have wised up.

If you count a 52 week year...thats $270,400...I would love that. Put me on the practice squad!!! They should not be complaining. Half of them can't even read or write correctly. And here is a Doctor, studies all his life, making that kind of money. Only in America!!!

Do you go to the games? No? Then shut the f up.

And before you say you don't go because you hate the Dolphins, you LOVE the Dolphins. Love them so much you read articles about their practice squad players AND post messages about them.

So buy a ticket, go to the games, stop being part of the problem, and become part of the solution.

I'll see you there.

That's not the point. The point is that there are too many guys like "dolphins suck" who don't go to games, but complain that they can't sell out, or complain because there are too many empty seats, or complain that it sounds like the stadium is half-filled with Bills fans.

If you don't want to go to the game, fine. God bless you and your Hi-Def TV. I can't say I blame you.

But if you don't want to go to the game, you forfeit your right to complain about those who do.

This is to "HEY." You know what bro, anytime you attempt to criticize people for not being able to read or write correctly as you put it, take a look at your own sentence. to quote "And here is a Doctor, studies all his life, making that kind of money." In that lil' old sentence alone you have a minimum of three grammatical error! Do me a favor yea? Go pisss into a fan, and yawn while you are at it! haha..
