Examining how '24 NFL QB Salaries Stack Up

On the latest episode E-Mak & Rude Dog look at the list of NFL starting QB salaries. Patrick Mahomes is NOT the highest paid QB in the league for the '24 season. He took less $ so he can have a better team. Let's just start there! We examine the list and why NFL‬ [https://www.youtube.com/@NFL] QB's are paid what their paid, and ranked where they are. Astronomical salaries for the position, but some QBs are certainly not earning their keep. Hint: one of those QBs is tied for #1, signed a new deal in the off-season, and plays in Florida.

It's not sexism. Why male pro athletes mostly earn significantly earn more than female pros

But she and other draft picks will be making 70k+/year to play in the WNBA under her rookie contract. While @nike and others will take care of Caitlin with millions in endorsement $, other less accomplished professional women are stuck with their salaries as their only form of income.

Is It Safe To Go Anywhere Anymore? KC Super Bowl Parade Shooting

Two individuals have been charged with Second Degree Murder, two counts of Armed Criminal Action, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon in the recent KC Parade shooting. Sadly, this senseless tragedy left one person dead and 22 wounded. According to prosecutors, more charges are expected to come. On the latest episode of "The Issues of Sports," E-Mak & Rude Dog had Kansas City 610-AM Host Bob Fescoe joins to discuss the impact of gun violence and domestic terrorism on public events. In this case, the shooting occurred during a joyful celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory, turning a glorious day into a nightmare. It's a sad reality that gun violence has crept into everything from grocery stores to championship parades. Innocent lives are taken for no reason, and we must ask ourselves if it's safe to attend any sort of crowd event without metal detectors? Let's come together and work towards a safer future for all. Our hearts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. Quick podcast where we examine.

Bill Belichick's Future & Draymond Green's Future

The Patriots are struggling. Bill Belichick is considered by most to be the Greatest NFL Coach of All-Time. But time has moved on, so has Tom Brady collecting a Super Bowl trophy in Tampa after leaving New England. The draft picks Belichick has made the last few years have mostly not panned out. Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston has reported that about a month or so ago the Kraft family decided to not bring Belichick back. Whether that is true or not, does Belichick even want to return, does it make sense for him to return? Should he take the blame for the Pats lack of success and playoffs since Brady left. Or is sports cyclical and like Greg Poppovich in San Antonio who's been losing since his Hall of Famers retired, maybe Belichick hasn't lost a step at all. And where would be good destinations if he does part ways? Rude Dog and I wrap this episode of "Issues" discussing the Warriors Draymond Green's indefinite suspension from the NBA. What's next here? What constitutes being ready to return and what's going to happen to the likely Hall of Famer's legacy? Could he find himself not in the Hall of Fame? So many issues to discuss.
