NFL players are bitching about how much the NBA player is making vs them. I think they have a good point but I think they should be more mad at their agents than the NFL per say.
So what do you think should they have guaranteed money or not?

Guaranteed why exactly? Teams should honor contracts they sign just like players should . That's why they're called contracts..

I almost always side with labor in these areas.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

There are 53 men on an NFL roster and 12 or 13 on an NBA's? Well duh, they make more. As far as guaranteed contracts, I want to say yes and that would seem to make negotiations clearer and easier, but I wonder about the injury rate. Without looking, Im going to guess that football players have much shorter careers and are much more susceptible to injury over fewer games than all other professional athletes.
