TOP OF THE TOWN<\/strong> \u2013 I\u2019ve said this before, but the salary cap in the NFL is strange. Teams have to leave room for additions to the roster, which means it takes pre-planning in years to make it work. Teams that don\u2019t manage it well \u2013 and that seems to be just about every team \u2013 and have to make tough decisions because they have to meet the demands of the cap by cutting good player that have the top salary contracts. The Seahawks have had to scramble and already released two good players \u2013 Shelby Harris and Quinton Jefferson to make room under the cap. Exploding quarterback and wide receiver salaries are causing a lot of cap problems for a lot of teams.\u2011 the Giants signed QB Daniel Jones for $160 million over four years (what?) and wide receiver Tyree Hill signed a four-year deal with Miami for $120 million. I believe Charles Barkley when he recently said that NFL players, likely quarterbacks, will be paid $60-70 million a year in a few years. I don\u2019t mind players making that kind of money (the NFL makes billions a year), but it pales compared to the $20 an hour you make. \u2026 Speaking of money, Washington elected to bring back basketball coach Mike Hopkins for another year. The decision apparently was made because the UW could not afford the $6.3 million over the next two years left on Hopkins\u2019 contract if they fired him. That\u2019s a heck of a reason for keeping him. So we are in for at least one more season of 50-50 ball from the Huskies while we wait for Hopkins\u2019 contract to expire. The Huskies under Hopkins in recent seasons couldn\u2019t hit the side of a barn if they threw the basketball at it from 10 feet away. Watching Husky basketball is like watching a peewee game involving six year olds. They try hard but can\u2019t hit the side of a barn. Hopkins is a real nice guy, but you don\u2019t get bonus points for being nice. When Hopkins said he hoped to return most of the players from this year\u2019s team, I about threw up\u2026. I\u2019m tired of Aaron Rodgers playing mind games. His ego is about as big as Donald Trump. Which makes sense since he likes Trump. Rodgers could have said months ago what he was going to do. But he likes the spotlight. So he kept us all guessing so he could hug the headlines. I think he\u2019s making a mistake in becoming a New York Jet. New Yorkers will eat him alive. They don\u2019t like weirdoes, especially intelligent ones like Rodgers. He will get smacked around in New York. He should have stayed in small town Green Bay. .. If you are looking to root for an underdog do it with the Washington State women\u2019s basketball team. They just might make a deep run in March Madness. … The United States is going to get its baseball spikes handed to them in the World Baseball Classic. Put your money on Japan. That\u2019s it for today. Stay safe.<\/p>\n Be well pal.<\/p>\n Be careful out there.<\/p>\n Have a great day<\/p>\n You are loved.il \/\/\/\/\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TERRY MOSHER TOP OF THE TOWN \u2013 I\u2019ve said this before, but the salary cap in the NFL…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-column","category-mosher"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4325"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4326,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4325\/revisions\/4326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
