Seriously, this guy is an idiot. Someone please take away his crayon.

Management needs these guys to check in as often as possible to keep tabs. The longer the break, the more likelyhood a player falls out of shape.

Every job has down time. But, you know what? Most ADULTS manage to not get into trouble just because they aren't working at their jobs. These guys are lauded for their discipline in working out and staying in shape. But, yet, they aren't expected to be disciplined enough to not break the law on their off-time. The teams are supposed to keep them busy so they don't wind up in jail. Maybe, just maybe, if we started holding these guys to the same standards as everyone else, instead of coddling them and covering for them from the first time they showed any athletic ability, they would know how to behave as responsible adults.

Why make a change for the Jevon's of the world?

A week? Sure, but 1 month+ is a little long. Anyway, the dead zone should be right after the Superbowl and Pro-Bowl. Just like the other sports. Baseball doesn't go through spring training then get time off. World Series ends, break. Then get together, work out, practice, regular season. Seems like a smooth transition to me. BTW, I do enjoy Cooley's blog. I disagree with the whole month off thing too. A week? Sure, but 1 month+ is a little long.
